The skirts are too long, 10-15 cm less would be better.One cannot deny that particularly Russia, China and North Korea are involved in an arms race towards the shortest uniform skirts for their soldier girls.

A different interpretation of "ready for action", I suppose.
What made the can-can so sensational in the late 1800s is what the girls were wearing under those gorgeous frilly skirts - nothing!Well remembers me of the cancan dance, some time ago.....View attachment 958831View attachment 958832View attachment 958833
A rather more sanitised version than the one put on by La Goulou and her colleagues for the future King Edward VII!oh, let's have some movement!
Apparently the appearance of undergarments in burlesque and can-can may be tied to the 19th century fascination or fetishization of women's undergarments. Many ordinary women did not wear underwear or drawers, it seems, as these drawers not only concealed the genitals, but also called attention to them, and so they were considered risque for respectable women. They were apparently mainly worn by prostitutes. Additionally, drawers may not have been closed at the crotch, and might have been in two parts (separate legs) which simply tied together with ribbons or tapes. In that sense, in early can-can, even when undergarments were introduced, it might have been to make things more titillating, rather than more modest.What made the can-can so sensational in the late 1800s is what the girls were wearing under those gorgeous frilly skirts - nothing!
Yes they may have worn frilly drawers of that 'crotchless' sort, but apparently the titillating bit was the brief glimpse of pubic hair (no silly shaving in those days)Apparently the appearance of undergarments in burlesque and can-can may be tied to the 19th century fascination or fetishization of women's undergarments.

Dorothea Tanning, 'Tableau vivant' (1954). Tanning was an American Surrealist, celebrated for her wild, other-worldly paintings. Her dog, a Lhasa Apso terrier named Katchina, appears regularly in Tanning’s work. Sometimes the dog is the artist's alter-ego and at other times appears as a witness or protagonist.
