Teachers at a high school in Japan want school girls to pull down their skirts. The group of teacher-guidance counselors commissioned, published, put up, and distributed three posters advising girls to lower the hemlines of their school-uniform skirts.
News outlets reported on the “Proper dress all at once together campaign” and reporters went out with tape measures to gauge the length of the skirts worn by schoolgirls.
National skirt-length averages were determined and schoolgirls revealed the secrets to quickly raising and lowering hemlines. Click here to read more, and see the video and pictures of uniforms from the past.
