Anyone else think the first picture is a bit wrong?

I looked and thought "wonder if they're also pointing out how it can be used by adults as fancy dress outfits for parties" - but the ages/sizes available are only 3-4 and 5-6.
For those unable to see it, I'd describe the photo as:
A kilt for a child, for age 3-4 and 5-6.
The mannekin wearing it is leaning back a bit, with the groin area "thrusting" forward a little. The kilt only just clears the mound area.
You can clearly see stocking tops and suspenders.
There is a school tie also being worn, which is "tossed to one side" in a "provocatively posing style".
It's not right. Report, report, report.
Something "not right" at all ... and I don't think "cultural differences" can explain this one away. And, even if so, this isn't "our" culture and it crosses a very clear line.0 -

Worse. It's no "mannekin".
OMG! I thought it was!!
EDIT: Actually, it's just popped up in FB for me again - and I noticed it doesn't have a right arm, so must be a mannekin.... unless it's trying to create a trilogy of vices in one snap.
And, in other news - having looked at the listing on ebay some hours ago, that s0ddin' advert and picture are now following me around Facebook in the ad slots!!!!!0 -

It turns out different cultures do things differently to the imperial commonwealth homeland.
I can't see anything there about 3-10 year olds in stockings & suspenders, & showing the stockings & suspenders off too.
ETA fishnet stockings too!!!
Let's not forget the pelvic thrust.
You know what even if others do things differently this seller is based in Manchester advertising on eBay uk. It's not remotely acceptable & I'm shocked eBay haven't seen fit to remove.0 -
As a photo on a different listing risque but not inappropriate.
As this listing states child and the ages given, its a definite no from me

Why aren't they removing it?
If I could complain I would.0 -
I have no idea! I had checked it earlier today and was shocked to see it was still up!0

The report system is very single track - I couldn't find anywhere to "say" the image is Wrong.
Still, if it makes a human review it, worth the effort.0 -
Thanks a lot 😕 All my Facebook ads now feature the image in question 😨😨😨0
