how do the other women feel about the new dress code? I wouldnt get too bent out of shape if it's going to cost you your job, but if everyone else is equally peeved, perhaps that warrants some investigation into why he decided upon the rule in the first place. Maybe approach this guy through an informal meeting on the subject? It sounds like you wear tasteful unoffensive clothing to me....last time I checked, Ann Taylor wasnt specializing in midriff shirts!
