It could be for a few reasons, really.
1.) Fashion. In many places, it's fashionable to wear shorts with a long shirt or a short dress because it looks cute in the right combination.
2.) Functionality. Dresses don't have pockets, so even if she did want to show off her legs, she may have still wanted pockets.
3.) Comfort. Whether this means comfortable with her body or comfortable clothes, it could mean either or both. She might not have enough self-confidence to show off or maybe she didn't want her legs to rub together. Sometimes I'll wear shorts under a skirt just because it's more comfortable that way.
4.) Respectable. She could just be a respectable person. I don't care much for women who let everything hang out, especially as half the time it tells something about the kind of person they are. It's still great to look nice in a cute dress, but wearing shorts underneath leaves no impression that you're trying to advertise anything underneath.

Not all women do that. I get the whale tail sometimes but that's just cause my shorts go down it's not intentional. But guys let you see the cracks too. I rock tanks but when I'm not wearing something over it there not tight tight. I have tight shirts but that's just cause I feel comfortable in them. Wearing shorts with a skirt has multiple purposes. For us that don't want to flash vag to the world it's a good cover plus if you forget to cross your legs not totally disgusting. Also for girls that do not have chicken legs it reduces chafing
I see your point. But, wearing a "longer" dress isn't always an option. A girl might see a cute dress in the store, but it might be too short. You don't always have time or even the option to get it tailored, extended, etc. So to compromise, they wear shorts under. No biggy.

I believe they call that "style."

It sounds like the girl who was in the library has more self respect than the girls who wear revealing clothes. I've always kept myself covered up (e.g. no short shorts in public, no bikinis, no tanks tops without something covering me up). Some girls are OK with showing off all they got and others aren't.
you're talking about different types of girls. this chick who wears shorts under her dress probably doesn't show off her thong or her boobs.
Some girls are modest and some are not. This girl probably wanted to wear a dress to look more feminine but did not want people to see her stuff when she bent over. It`s not like the dress looks that same as shorts when it is falling over the shorts.
Some girls like to dress hot and as short as possible, others do want to look cute, but don't want show of all their stuff. So two different types of people here,
two types of people, that girl with shorts under won't be one of the girls going around in booty shorts and vice versa
Well it really depends on the type of girl. Some are really self-conscious about what they expose and some aren't.
some are just more conservative than others. sounds like you found a conservative one
Like bikinis vs bra and panties
She could have been on her period
