Advisors Point of View
Watchs usually aren't worn because if you keep looking at your watch the pnm might think you really aren't interested in them etc.
Perfume - 100 of your sisters (all with a different scent) 30+ pnms (all with a different scent) throw in some b.o. - not a great smell
Breath mints for all - who wants to be singled out for bad breath
Toe hair - nit picky and no biggy to me - but it drives my husband nuts!
PET PEEVE - white bra - black dress
and panty lines
I usually just say to be neatly groomed etc. But nothing as specific as shave your legs or wear deodorant.
We do dress parade for everyone so that we don't single anyone out. It also lets you make sure no one will be hanging out of their clothes (top or bottom) or will wear something 2 sizes too small. You have to watch shoes too - people will try to wear a pair of tennis shoes they've had for 10 years that are black and falling apart or sandles with the sole flapping on them - if they can get away with it!
I don't think major makeovers or a brand new set of clothes are necessary, but make an effort to look your best. First impressions and all that. Plus, you know the pnm's are trying to look their best, out of respect, so should you.
