Biasa girls

How to tell a girl is married or not? Here is a trick. Just notice the black skirt she wears. If the hemline is black too she's unmarried. If the hemline is with white insets she's married already.

In this picture all the girls standing are unmarried. The skirt with white hemline put in front is prepared for a bride.
