forget-me-not

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'flower' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'people fashion short skirts' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'people' could be 'tmen' (T-man is an example) and 'tmen' is located in the answer.
'fashion' could be 'forge' (synonyms) and 'forge' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ot' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
