When the suffragists were agitating one response was that if women had pockets they would fill them with sedition.
By all means do, please.
There was, I gather, around those times something called a petticoat pocket, which might have combined concealment with convenience or at least carrying capacity. You need big pockets to overthrow a government I suppose.
Nurses with proper uniforms in 1975 had a really big deep pocket sort of front and centre in the skirt.

@Photo55@mastodon.social @regina_nyckelharpista@sunny.garden the traditional dirndle also comes with fantastically deep pockets. I love it!
