Bumcheeks fully on show at family attraction

I nearly inadvertently clicked on the “buy it now” blue button haha

Summers coming..
and at that price they're pretty affordable..

Although postage is nearly as much as the skirt which may put a few off of purchasing.

Ah didn't see it.

To be honest, I haven't seen any of those in and around the town I live in!

The OP has already posted a picture showing just how short the "skirt" was.

Maybe it wasn't a mini skirt...

Micro skirts are worn today.

These were 60s "mini" skirts. With placards defending their right to wear them, in case anyone is in doubt that these were actual 60s mini skirts. They show legs, that's all. They are not even tight fitting.

This is not comparable to a completely bare arse. As you quite rightly say, proper underwear was worn.

The OP has even said that just a decent pair of knickers would be enough

I certainly wouldn’t choose to dress like that 🤣 Neither would our adult kids.

My point was, in an ideal world it wouldn’t be a problem because there wouldn’t be leery people perving over kids. But it’s far from an ideal world. Obviously.

It's not just a matter of perving. What about those of us who don't want to see, or be forced to contemplate, the arse cheeks of anyone at all? Bottoms might induce sexual thoughts in some but to me they bring to mind sitting on the loo, doing a poo and wiping your bottom. I'd rather this whole side of things was kept private, thanks.

If you choose to dress like that and someone says 'You look horrible - you're backside is putting me off my ice-cream!' you'd better be able to take it.

You don’t have to be a pervert to notice a bare arse. And, given that a bare arse is at the back of the body, a man who finds it a turn-on is not necessarily going to know that it belongs to a young teenager.

Which is why a responsible parent would tell a child dressed as such to go and put some bloody clothes on.

I suspect the pps mentioning minis and micro-minis haven't seen the type of porno-wear 'clothing' the OP is talking about.

This style is not in any way a skirt, or shorts. It's purely designed to expose the arse-cheeks right up to the anus and to draw attention to this area.

When minis and micro-minis were in fashion in the 60s they caused a stir, yes. But they were made possible from a fashion viewpoint by the advent of panty-hose. I don't think anyone would have worn them then with stockings and suspenders and certainly not with bare buttocks and a thong!. Also, even when tights weren't worn, women wore actual pants with very short skirts and hot-pants - it certainly wasn't the norm to wear such items with a G-string. G-strings or thongs were more for dresses where a VPL might show.

No, quite the opposite! It attracts predatory people and is a big no-no.

My point was, in an ideal world it wouldn’t be a problem because there wouldn’t be leery people perving over kids. But it’s far from an ideal world. Obviously.

And I definitely would not allow my 16 year old to wear one!

Yes I get that they were shocking for the time, just as knees were shocking in the 1920s so I do get the point

And it therefore is evidence that those girls do want people to look at them!

The point was, they were shocking for the time period. There'll be something else in 2045. Frothing at the mouth won't stop teenagers making strange fashion choices.

Mini skirts weren’t but micro minis were, anyway I gave my opinion and stand by it, teens always try and shock the older generations as I said before

And for those quoting mini skirts that they wore in the 1960s, when you see actual footage of that era, they weren’t that short. In fact many of them came quite far down the thigh.

Totally agree about the cognitive dissonance.

And where are the boys wearing skimpier and skimpier outfits? Why is the fashion for boys nothing like this? I’d like those who claim this is all fine and dandy to explain that to me.

totally - this is another perceptive point.

There's a huge mis-match - cognitive dissonance in fact- shown in some replies on here, Nowadays we fuss to the nth degree about safeguarding of children - it's become super-protective over the last decade or so, and rightly in many ways. I guess everyone on this forum would agree with that?

And yet here we get some parents expressing the view that once (particularly girls) get to puberty, somehow they're OK with them displaying sexually-charged areas of their body to any old perv because a) it's 'the fashion' and b) no-one should be looking.

Yeah, right. Exposing yourself in this way is disrespectful to yourself and to those around you.

If you disagree with this, you'd also have to be OK with, say, a very elderly man or woman wearing the same kit. If that would bother you, then your argument collapses. If a wrinkly elderly man went to the park or zoo with his arse-cheeks on display the very same people who are OK with the girls' look would be frothing at the mouth!

Well the teens don't agree with this comment. I mention to my 15 year old her shorts are to short she replies well men shouldn't be looking usually followed by women and girls can wear what they want and what they feel comfortable in should i wear a burka the literal response.

And teens are totally wise and aware of the way the world works, aren't they?

If your teen really thinks like this, maybe you should challenge her. She (and you) are being very naive. 'Men shouldn't be looking'. I ask again: what planet is she on? Has she never been out in the real world? Are you really OK with that level of naivety about sexuality? If she is actually OK exposing her arse cheeks to the world, please ask her why, exactly? I would be fascinated to hear!

Some pps on here refer to short skirts/short shorts. It's clear from the OP that we are not talking about these things. This get-up is of a whole different order and couldn't be called a skirt or shorts. I've seen such, and they are basically attention-begging porno-wear.

And as for the argument 'people should wear what they feel comfortable in' - what about making everyone else around you mighty uncomfortable? I suspect that's the whole point of outfits like the one OP is describing.

Give me anything but the faux-naive stuff, please!

You're OK with a child's naked bum being on public show? It's not "just a bum", as you well know. It's a private part. So if people walked down the street with their penises out, would you be all "It's just a penis"? And what about breasts? You're being incredibly disingenuous. Just a bum indeed.

@SpringSunshineanddaffodils
icant believe my cousin sent me a pic of her daughter off out today to a gig with one of those skirts on.
I suggested your thread and threw my hands up in the air in despair!

Yes, this really ought to be the default answer but it isn’t, is it.

Unfortunately, predatory people will still see such clothing as an invitation. Wrong, obviously, but that’s just the way it is.

And it covered our backsides!
