Uncle Al, maybe the next thing to gain traction will resemble a pinafore. As I recall, you started a thread about something along those lines.

I think it was a discussion about Skirtalls.
Bib overalls converted into a 'pinafore' style dress.
The current offerings lack the proper pockets of bib overalls.

Here's an example, with decent pockets.

Personally, I'ld prefer a longer, knee length or below the knee, with
a more A-Line flair to the hem. The units that are for sale, on-line,
are, IMHO, for a young person. Not something useful on a daily basis.

I am too old to get the buying of distressed/ripped versions of clothes, even when they are new....
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...

Agreed. Rubbish is rubbish. Put it in the bin where it rightfully belongs.

Grok may be referring to the Greek/Albanian fustanella as his "hungarian" target -- and that's entirely valid as the fustanella has a longer history than the Scots Kilt, especially the "Little Kilt" (which is shockingly modern). It's a fair bit fancier, too!

The example I pictured, was to show the proper pockets for the garment.

Not the distressed look. That can come naturally with general use of the garment.
I was not referring to a Fustanella from Greece.

Here you go: https://tovewear.com/shop?category=Farm%20Dress and https://tovewear.com/shop?category=Trade%20Dress

(not inexpensive, though)

I imagine there are others out there.

I have similar preferences in terms of length and flair.

I have a strong preference for decent pockets. At a minimum, accommodating wallet, keys, phone. This preference has severely constrained my choices.

Though there's more AI images generated, there's a lot more to see amongst GenX and Z, and sightings on warm days more likely. It's still niche,
