any guy in it just for women to wear skimpier clothing should probably be investigated.

Yet you don't wear 16th century Shakespearean clothes to work because you don't live in 16th century England

If they were available and comfortable, I might. Where the hell am i supposed to get them?

oh my friend! Evangeline's (the costume store in Sacramento) just reopened! I can't speak to comfortable but I can speak to where.

I live on the east coast, so I'll just stick to the stuff I can get locally. It's comfortable.

Edit: Thank you, though. If I ever find myself in Sacramento, I'll have to look the place up

I actually had a few gowns in such a design. They were very fun to wear!

You must be at a boring workplace, we have several goths and one lady who daily wears renaissance era clothing and is big on renaissance fairs and medieval combat.

If it's not a health and safety risk, who cares. I mean flip flops and a budgie smuggler are not appropriate to wear on a factory floor.

my favorite job, favorite boss, our dress code was "if you can get here without getting arrested it's fine". the day i showed up dressed like i was going to the beach (because guess what i was doing at noon) the boss came back and said "okay, new rule, if i have a client coming in you need to at least have pants and shoes on"
