  • It would depend if you were a survivor from the middle ages.

    Not at all and I find the story behind it hard to believe.

    I thought people were in a gym to do gym stuff and not to look at the current fashion. Am I wrong?

    just a bunch of people wanting to police other people's personal choices. 
    those people never die out and the best solution is to give them the finger and keep doing your thing. :)

  • It sounds as though there might have been a dress code against showing too much skin.  There have been numerous cases in the UK about students refusing to adhere to dress codes and I suspect this may be one of them.  Rules are rules.

    Nowadays everything is acceptable to most. The word "modesty" is considered outdated.

    Good for the school!  Having and enforcing a dress code is just fine in my book.  They should enforce every rule.  The gym is a dirty, sweaty, germy place.    If she wore this to class I'm wondering why professors didn't dismiss her.

    Because not every place on the world have phobias around the body. Then again, those places also have less teen pregnancies. Hmm.
