Yes I liked frocks that used to stick out at the bottom.

My ladyfriend in Malta at the time was called Lily and when My old mans a dustman was on the jukebox she used to crease up at the bit where he said, 'lilies wearing them'.
There was a lorry driver who could sing just like Lonnie Donegan and he was always in demand at the Lincoln Farm truckstop near the NEC

I'll get around to it eventually

I used to know a girl who had one with fur around the bottom, she said it helped to keep her neck warm
