Dress codes

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Yesterday afternoon I went to visit a museum with my mother and I was denied entrance because I was wearing a short skirt. It's Summer! The guide told me that they were now enforcing a dress code and that I wasn't dressed properly, which made me feel like a whore, and that if I wanted to visit the museum I had to ''cover up''.

My mother was angry and asked to see the manager, who upon coming, told her pretty much the same thing the guide did, and my cheeks were burning. We ended up going back home. I was incredibly pissed!

Do you think NSG that enforcing dress codes in attractions like museums, is fair to the tourists?

That's a very odd thing to do for a museum... where was that?
Usually, to them dress code means anything you can normally walk around the streets in is fine. Why would they want to put a dress code in place?

Apparently what you wear classifies you (utter bollocks to me, tbh) and one needs to dress according to the place one is going to visit.

short skirt? pics or it didn't happen

To make a call, it'd help to see you in said skirt.

Woah. That's just... messed up. Mid thigh isn't that short, I have lots of skirts that length that I like to wear in the summer. Did the museum staff tell you the exact terms of the dress code? Because if they didn't, that's not fair.

[Sibirsky]

Mid thigh? It's not even that short. Is there an entrance fee to this museum? I though San Diego was supposed to be laid back.

That's ridiculous.
It's a museum, what does the length of the skirt matter as long is she's wearing one that doesn't show her knickers?
In a skirt like that, she would even have got into a Catholic church in Italy, and they're the only museums I've ever known to have some sort of dress code (essentially, it's no hot pants, no tank tops, and no naked upped body for men).

Here you go.

Agreed.

I'm not sure, tbh. But some museums are doing it and it's causing discomfort. Trust me, I hate to have to tell a tourist that comes from halfway accross the globe that because she wears a short skirt, I can't let her into the tour. It's what we call "vergüenza ajena". I totally hate it.

Minnas, how short was the skirt?

Oh, you so sexy.

*vomits*

[Tiesabre]

Sounds pretty idiotic to me. I'd understand if you were half-naked, but jeez, some people are such prudes.

[Linker Niederrhein]

Here you go.

Not bad, but I prefer tartans.

It can be. And the public remarks on it.

It's a museum of art. Nudity is par for the course.

Honestly, you should know better than to click any link in this forum that I supply.

Yeah... I should know better. But it's impossible not to clickitey click click!

This is wierd.

It just makes me glad to live in the UK. I just can't imagine that happening here. Mind you, I haven't been to a museum for a while, so it might be happening right now...

It's their business and property, they have, and should have that right. Not saying it is right to do or anything, but it's their private property.

Agreed, but it makes it no less discomforting to have to tell someone that the sole reason they can't come into the museum is because of the way they're dressed.

Of course not. How could museums refuse entry to girls in their proper, thighs-on-display school uniform?

Mmm...

which would be true if it werent owned by the city.

When did a public museum become private property?

what are the guidelines there?

Well, it's still city property, and it's their right to make the decisions on dress codes etc.

not over the objections of the public. thats why minnas should make a fuss to try to stop this stupid policy.
