Thoughts? I personally wouldn't have even noticed what she was wearing, she looks nice and it's not like she's parading round in a thong and nipple tassels!

You’ve never been aware of a dress code because you’ve never turned up to a flight in your bra Grin

Almost every business serving the public like this will have a dress code so that they can deal with people who are too dim to dress properly without having it written down . It’s how they will get you off the plane if you are a naturist or wearing a nazi swastika on your t shirt. It’ll be hidden in Ts and Cs because most people are perfectly sensible and don’t need it.

I was a bystander while a man got spoken to by ground staff at security for his necklace that had a replica bullet on it. He was shouting that he got it in Argos Grin. He had to hand it over before boarding. Clearly not a terrorist but he was an idiot too.

I'm waaay older than her, have literally flown hundreds of times and have never been aware of a dress code

Oh youd be surprised Grin

But thats the point im making....if there is a dress code then tell people

And thats not a bra...in different shops its a bralet and ive also seen it as a vest top and a crop top...dd has a bralet and there is much more material on hers

So even if they said ...dont rock up in your bra, she would still wear it as its not a bra

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/03/2019 10:04

She wouldnt wear a bralet on a plane

She gets too cold!

Even just a week on MN will show that there is definitely something about being in close proximity with strangers when flying and no where to go if you do end up sat by an idiot that makes it unpleasant at times. It magnifies anti social behaviour and habits. For me though until an apparent dress code is enforced across the board and no one at all is allowed to reveal any flesh then any young lady dressed as nicely as this one can continue wearing a top like that.

Yes when it was clear her lack of layers could delay the flight she should have thought it's not a battle worth fighting for now and that wasn't smart behaviour to continue. I would be interested to know how consistent the airline are when Gaz from Wolverhampton rocks on in his loose muscle top with his nipples hanging out and all his sweaty arm pit hair on display when he puts his bag in the overhead locker. I doubt anyone notices.

Now flip flops on a plane is absolutely its own special kind of disgusting. Anyone doing that deserves a life long ban from every airline!

FFS that is not a bra.

All I could think of was the maiden form bra adverts from the 60,s, ' I dreamed I went to the , races, to the office, to Venice, to the circus ect, in my maiden form bra' sorry can't link, not very tech savvy, maybe someone else can. But they depicted a fashionably dressed woman sans top.
