Talk:Miniskirt

message: After rah-rah skirts there was a big phase of denim miniskirts with a pencil style. These were everywhere in 1983 in high school in the US. They were pretty conservative at first, in dark blues, and longer than what re-emerged in the 2000s. Then they started being in red or pinstriped then acid wash. Much of the later 80s were dominated by cotton/spandex miniskirts. Not crazy club style spandex, but usually black cotton with a bit of spandex to give it shape. References are hard to come by. The blue denim pencil miniskirt is clearly visible in one scene of the U2 "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" video (the Las Vegas one).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:240:8100:E2AC:E9E9:635:3F22:C6DD (talk) 00:57, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

message: At this point in time I don't think that there is sufficient coverage on microskirts to justify a separation from Miniskirt. At the end of the day, a microskirt is simply another variation on the miniskirt, rather than a distinctive garment in its own right. However, given that these articles are popular with a certain type of (usually anonymous) editor, a bold merge has potential to be controversial, so I am proposing it here. The current Microskirt article could easily be moved as a whole under the 21st-century section of Miniskirt, references, images and all.
* Comment - In 2006, the original Micro skirt article was merged into this article, so there is precedent. Mabalu (talk) 14:20, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The point of an image in the lede is to summarise by image the crux of the article. The image you're taking offence to meets that criteria and removing it on the grounds of it being posed by a "thin model", are absolutely groundless.  There is no reason at all why a posed image is of less value than a candid image, and many reasons why one is better.  For example, the one you chose doesn't show the skirt properly - it's rucked up so the length cannot be accurately ascertained - or more to the point there are images available (such as the one already in place) that show the style of a miniskirt much better.
You may think that an encyclopaedia should be full of candid "real-life" images, but just because you think such a thing does not make it so.  Wikipedia is full of posed images, mostly because they're better - in this case the very act of posing brings prominence to the miniskirt, which is the article subject.

message: I have removed this disambig - again.  The claim that "mini dress" is also a type of bodystocking is not supported by the actual bodystocking article, apart from a passing mention in the lede which was also added by the same editor who added the disambig.
The lede is to summarise the article proper, not a dumping ground for misc information - especially when it isn't sourced.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:16, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

message: I have included a section about the recent resurgence of the micro miniskirt. The inclusion of the micro miniskirt trend on a miniskirt Wikipedia page is essential to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of this iconic garment. While the traditional miniskirt has long been recognized for its cultural significance and impact on fashion, the emergence of the micro miniskirt represents a notable shift in style and societal norms. By documenting the transition from the classic miniskirt to the more daring micro version, the page acknowledges how fashion trends evolve over time and reflects broader cultural shifts. Additionally, the micro miniskirt trend serves as a lens through which to explore discussions around body image, gender norms, and the influence of designers and fashion houses in shaping contemporary fashion. Including information about the micro miniskirt trend enriches the Wikipedia page by providing readers with a more nuanced understanding of the miniskirt's enduring legacy and relevance in modern fashion culture.
