We have recently instituted a dress code at my school. There are several reasons for this (part of which is that since we are business-oriented, we're trying to impress the students with good habits), but one of the big ones was an incident from a few months ago.
I heard some whisperings about an inappropriately dressed student while wandering around. I don't usually pay attention to such things, but between my classes, I rounded the corner and...
<gulp>
There was a young woman standing at the front desk. She was wearing a shirt that came to juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust the bottom of the curve of her booty. She did not have on pants. She did not have on stockings, leggings, or anything else between the bottom hem of her shirt and the very tippy-tops of her shoes. Several feet of bare flesh.
Was she wearing underwear? I don't know. I figured that as an instructor, the last thing I needed was to be seen gawking at a mostly nude student. I can tell you, though, that underwear or not, she wouldn't be able to pick up anything she dropped, or sit at a desk without revealing the plot . She had a crowd of young men standing behind her hoping against hope that she'd drop her car keys, and she was evidently uncomfortable, because she was constantly tugging the hem of the shirt down.
I want to be really clear on this--the girl was wearing a shirt that would not have covered the bottom of a miniskirt, a pair of shoes, and nothing else. A prostitute would have been embarassed.
We sent her home to change.
Seriously. Who does that?

Even if there was no real dress code, that's still inappropriate. Who on earth would want to be flashing all their assets every time they moved? Particularly if she looked uncomfortable?
Umm, well, I do recall that throughout high school (in the 60's, yep, I'm old) we all (girls) had to learn a peculiar little knee bend in order to get a drink of water - a straight bend over motion at the water fountain would have revealed more than we desired to. And yet, it took until my junior year for the school board to finally allow girls to wear slacks to school!
