A note
The image
I believe that the image currently used here does not actually show pedal pushers. If you look closely you will see that the pants have been pulled up into folds, presumably to let the sunshine onto the woman's legs, and no doubt also to make her look prettier for the photographer. I am not at all convinced that when she stood up again her pants would be any shorter than ankle length. I also believe that pedal pushers as a fashion did not exist earlier than the 1950s in the USA. Plus this woman is working in a factory during the war. Full length pants are a proper protection against metal debris in a factory setting; shorter pants would not be. Invertzoo (talk) 14:49, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
