Some people believe that you can tell a lot about a lady's personality just by looking at the length of her skirt. Judgements by Rosea Posey is a [skin-deep exploration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take) of this idea that literally marks the model's legs with a scale of sluttiness.

From just below the [underwear line](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/debute-x-stripe-stare), the artist used a pen to write three descriptors in hierarchical height that suggest a woman is either an actual streetwalker, promiscuous or simply strives to adopt that image. Lower down on the ladder we have provocative, cheeky, flirty, proper, old-fashioned, prudish and eventually matronly, towards the ankle. While Judgements by Rosea Posey does not reflect the artist's own prejudices, many girls will agree that her system of [skirt measurement](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woven-cargo-midi) is often consistent with the public opinion.
