History
T-Skirt released their first album in 1995 with an image of Japanese gal-like costume, focusing on bright colors for each member, and miniskirts. Making them resembring Sailor Moon, a popular Japanese magical girl anime at the time. With their outstanding image, they easily became the teen idols, especially teen girls, and the LGBTQ group. T-Skirt made their debut with a mini concert at Siam Square, a place to hang out for teens, where the audience was packed.
Before that, during the audition, Tata Young also came to test with them. With her outstanding talent, she became a solo artist of Grammy Entertainment at the end of the same year.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIuo4fSacGI|work=via YouTube|language=thai|accessdate=2024-07-31|date=2020-03-10|title=สวยรวยแซ่บ l เส้นทางสุดแซ่บของ "ที-สเกิ๊ต" วงเกิร์ลกรุ๊ปในตำนานของไทย เจ้าแม่แฟชั่นแห่งยุค 90|author=GMM25THAILAND}}

The first album was promoted for a full year, almost two years, and sold over a million copies.
The following year, 1996, their second album was released, but it was not as successful as before. Soon after, their stable faced business problems and had to close down, and the group disbanded.
In 2018, the group reunited for a special event GREEN CONCERT # 21 Dance Fever along with other famous singers and bands from the 1990s.
They are still active in the Thai showbiz today as front and behind the scenes personnel.{{cite web|url=https://women.kapook.com/view216452.html|work=Kapook.com|language=thai|accessdate=2024-07-31|date=2019-10-29|title=ยังจำกันได้ไหม...
