All The Way
While mini-skirts in many parts of the world are getting minier and minier, the 19 air hostesses employed by UTA in Tahiti have been provided with a new uniform which takes their skirts right down to their toes.
The new uniform, called a "purutu", is a form-fitting, ankle length dress with lace-edged flounces, which seems to owe something to the mother hubbards that the English missionaries introduced to Tahiti in the early 19th century and something to the "fiesta" costumes worn by dancing girls in Seville. It's attrac tive, anyway.
