Burstin' Bosoms!
The Dress Code Committee is being reconvened at work and I was nominated as a rep for my branch.

Why? The current code has been in place for nearly 2 years. It should be very well-known, right?

But one thing wasn't adequately COVERED in it. Literally.

Burstin' bosoms!

Revealing cleavage has, lately, brought on quite a few calls and letters from our clients, men and women.

It's not an exaggeration or prudishness, either. Low-cut, form-fitting shirts with push-up bras are pretty much the norm for the gals at the main branch. And many of those same women are in the C and DD + cups! It's like they are competing with each other to see how close to the nip they can go.

When my manager sat down with me for our first brainstorming session, she was shocked when I told her it wasn't uncommon for boobie tattoos to be "accidentally" exposed over there, too. The women often hunch forward so even MORE is in view. Big surprise (NOT!), it's not appreciated by our clients.

Which is exactly what has prompted many necessary updates to the dress code. Pretty much immediately.

Isn't it really sad when appropriate (conservative blouse) and UNappropriate attire (lace camisole) has to be explained via a PowerPoint demo, plus paper handouts?
