Yay!
For some of my dresses that are cut short (too short to wear without something underneath) or those that are a little too fitted (like pencil skirts), I find that I can hike them up just a little and wear compression shorts underneath so I don't flash the world.
Of course, I commute on a mixte bike, so my downtube is seriously slanted. It probably wouldn't work the same on a traditional diamond frame.
