I have NO sympathy!!

I saw the Today show this morning to and was laughing when they had to blur out her crotch. So yeah, I'd say it was too short. I do feel bad that they stewardesses embarrassed her so badly though. They should have caught it before she got on the plane if it was that big of a deal.

Kelly · Hermes

Maybe she was seeing her gynecologist. Easy access?

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I dunno...from that pic, I've definately seen worse. Seems like they could have just asked her to keep a blanket over her lap or something. Maybe she didn't realize how much it rose up when she sat?

NCshopper · Hermes

Her outfit was ridiculous, but I'm not sure that I see that as reason to kick someone off a flight. That seems awfully harsh.

Drew · Gucci

Considering the fact that Southwest airlines does not have a dress and because she was not violating any state or federal laws by wearing her outfit, I find it apalling that she was humiliated in that way and asked to leave the airplane initially. I personally would not wear that outfit, but I believe in the protection of individual rights and feel her rights were violated. I would sue the airlines if I were in her position. Also, I think the Today show blurred out the crotch area for dramatization purposes, I'm sure she was wearing underwear.

It is what the coeds seem to be wearing these days. I remember an episode of Hulk Hogan's show were Brooke was wearing a really, itsy, bitsy skirt to an amusement park where she would be riding roller coaster rides and what-not. Her dad was all, "No way!" Until Brooke showed him she was wearing a pair of boy short underwear underneath. Then, all of a sudden it was ok. Maybe she was wearing boy shorts. Besides, it's no worse to see a pair of underwear in my opinion than seeing a bikini bottom of a bathing suit.

I agree -- I can't believe they asked her to leave.

Ditto to all of this! I cannot believe they humiliated her. Although I wouldn't wear it- I have definitely seen worse.

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Seriously though, even though the flight attendant was out of line, that women was dressed really innappropriatly. (sp)

I think that they should come up with a dress code however if they feel this is a problem.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm thats not bad at all. I think it was jealousy that caused anyone to even think twice. I was at the mall today and saw about 500 worse outfits.

halah · Kenneth Cole

You know I thought this was so weird. I feel like there has to be more to the story...was she acting in appropriate? Or maybe the flight attendant was in a bad mood. I'm in airports twice a week every week and I've seen FAR worse than that.

tina242 · Kate Spade

Yeah it was inappropriate...but since when do airlines kick people off their flights due to their dress?? Am I missing something?
I am also appalled that they kicked her off of the flight. Completely and utterly taking it too far. Seriously.
confused

relrel · Marc Jacobs

I'm a little confused over the use of the word inappropriate. What exactly is inappropriate about a miniskirt and tank top for an airplane ride? It may not be appropriate for an office day-job but it really bothers me that something could be appropriate or not for a plane ride. What about a plane ride makes that outfit incorrect or wrong than say, a walk around the mall?

I watched the Youtube video of the Today Show clip and there really is nothing wrong about the outfit. It was a cute outfit and something she was obviously very comfortable in.

Kelly · Hermes

I thought it was a bit slutty (the top was fine IMO but the skirt was crazy short on the video I saw). I also can't believe her mom said it was okay. My mom would kill me if she saw me dressed like that.

however, I don't think she should've been kicked off for that.

sephorablue · Marc Jacobs

yeah I really don't get it either--kicking her off the flight was preposterous and unnecessarily humiliating. As long as she's not exposing herself, no one has any grounds for complaint! A public commercial flight is not the kind of venue where you can discriminate based on "appropriateness" of attire.

ranchera20 · Marc Jacobs

WOW!
I was picturing an outfit waaaaaaaaaay worse then this! Are you kidding??? I also think there has to be something else to this.

travelgirl · Kate Spade

This was a Southwest flight right? Okay, yeah, the flight attendants were probably just jealous because this girl's looking like a hot mama and they are stuck wearing those god-awful uniforms that consist of faded blue, pleated eighties shorts and hideous polo-style shirts.

I completely agree. I feel like this story came from another country.

Suasoria · Chanel

I'm sort of in the majority...the skirt is very short, too short, but she's not indecent, and taking her off the plane wasn't justified. The top half of the outfit is fine.

With everything there is to annoy you about air travel these days, a pretty girl in a micro-mini is not one of them.

Honestly, women should be able to wear whatever they want whenever they want, and not have our clothing choices questioned whether we're flying on a plane, getting toasted at a frat party, etc. Yet at the same time, of course I believe that we should be conscious of dressing appropriately for various situations to project the proper image.

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

I'm definitely on the confused side of things...since when is it an airlines right to govern what I or anyone else wears? I'm paying to be on the plane! I can damn well where whatever I want so long as it doesn't cause danger to anyone else.
