Article in the NY Times says:

Capsule-size frocks reminiscent of the 1960’s are being resurrected by current pop princesses like Sienna Miller... in a forthcoming film, and by her fans. They are this year’s buoyant summer uniform, the hemlines climbing up and up to keep pace with soaring temperatures. “Dresses — we can’t make them short enough,’’ said Karin Bereson, a stylist and a designer of a line called No. 6, with dresses that end, abruptly, just below the hips.

Now, call me crazy, or simply a product of the 60's, but are those dresses that end "just below the hips"? One of the lines in the article is that the dresses are "more about being daring and confident". Come on! These dresses are nice, attractive, but daring? Really? How are they any different than other short dresses for the past 4 decades?

Hey, I'm not complaining that dresses are going short... but I still think these are rather tame compared to the 60's mini and micro skirts -- those was daring!
