Yes! Very nice. I had to look up 'pelmet' something new every day :) I am guessing from the phrasing it isn't a very short miniskirt, but the stiff edging? Google was unclear.
It took me a while to realize how 'punishments' in most books, movies, etc. work. I still remember how distressed I was when that kid in a Christmas Story had his tongue stuck to the pole. After seeing it as an adult I realize that punk got his desserts.
A pelmet goes across the top of curtains to hide the mechanism. You were right the first time - it's used colloquially to mean a very short mini shirt.
