Dear Ravi,
Thanks for your answer.
Even a school going kid knows that its professional for girls working in hotels, air hostess, clubs, bars, recreational clubs, fashion dressers.But still it depends basing on the company's policy.
Can you please explain me why is it YES for these industries and not yes for the remaining?
Regards,

Ravi said: Because in such industries you have to market and sell their product , who will like to travel in ahotel or air plane where airhostess are fully dressed from head to toe,,
Reply : Dear Ravi, AIR INDIA do provide its female cabin crew members to be well full dressed in Saree. Arent you travelling in AIR INDIA?
TODAY, WHEN Honble Mrs.PRATIBHA PATIL, THE FIRST CITIZEN OF INDIA IS WEARING SAREE, WHY NOBODY IS TARGETTING ABOUT HER DRESS CODE? WHY NOT FOR Honbl Mrs.SONIA GANDHI? What about the dress codes for Female IAS OFFICERS? Are they possessing little or no importance then that of a bar girl,air hostess, clubs, bars, recreational clubs, fashion dressers etc. They too are running this country in which you are surviving.
Well being an HR, WE SHOULD MAKE ENVIRONMENT OF OUR COMPANY HEALTHY.
Inspite of such discussions and matters, we should try to motivate all staff to increase productivity with toiling hard work.

Banker sues Citigroup after she was fired for being 'too hot'!

Thu, Jun 3 12:25 PM

New York, June 3 (ANI): A female employee of Citibank was apparently fired from her job because her male colleagues found her 'too distracting'.

Debrahlee Lorenzana said that despite her turnout being professional, her male bosses and co-workers still found her too hot be around their cold cash.

"Shortly after the commencement of her employment, branch manager Craig Fisher and assistant branch manager Peter Claibourne began articulating inappropriate and sexist comments concerning plaintiff's clothing and appearance," The New York Post quoted her court filings as saying.

"The improper comments made to plaintiff by Fisher and Claibourne included, but were not limited to, advising her that she must refrain from wearing certain items of clothing, in particular, turtleneck tops, pencil skirts, fitted business suits, or other properly tailored clothing.

"In blatantly discriminatory fashion, plaintiff was advised that as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear."

The filing also read, "In a regressive response more suitable for reality television than a white-shoe corporation in the 21st century, plaintiff was advised that these other comparator females may wear what they like, as their general unattractiveness rendered moot their sartorial choices, unlike plaintiff, whose shapeliness could not be heightened by beautifully tailored clothing."

After rejecting a complaint and an application to be transferred, she was eventually moved to a new branch, she was reprimanded for failing to recruit new customers.

"The purported reasons for plaintiff's termination included that she failed to meet the required new account opening quotas, in addition to the credulity-straining assertion that her clothing choices were 'inappropriate,'" the suit said.

"Are you saying that just because I look this way genetically, that this should be a curse for me?" she told the Village Voice, which first reported her case.

In a statement, Citibank said, "We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we will defend against it vigorously."

Citibank has not commented for reasons of employee privacy but added that the bank has "a strong commitment to diversity and we do not condone, or tolerate, discrimination within our business for any reason." (ANI)
