low G skirts

I must admit trousered females are something of an eye sore.

Skirts and dresses really should be worn by women.

Anyway, working on the same concept. Two ideas come to mind. 1. Women
wearing proper clothing might consider wearing bloomers underneath.
They're really a nice undergarment women might consider returning to.
They certainly preserve modesty. And a lot more pleasing than what
they're currently wearing. 2. Incorperation of a draw string into the
skirt above the knee level. As the lady moves into lower to zero
gravity, she merely draws the string, securinging off the fabric of
the skirt to her legs. Or some 'smart' technology does it for her.
She won't be walking in zero gravity but flying and using her arms
mostly. And securing the close above the knee certainly gives her use
of her legs and feet for suffcient use while preserving modesty.

Both measures can be employed together.

These are just ideas.
