Now, pedal pushers (which I wore as a carhop circa 1956) I could still manage to come up with.

Kat, hey, poodle skirts -- if they ever looked good on anyone -- really never looked all that hot on girls over about a size 8 (in 1950s sizing) anyway.

(Slight tangent: Back in the day, I don't even remember any such thing as a "Size 1" or "Size 3." A "Size 4" was pretty teensy.)
