Girls

• Hair is to be above-the-collar and clean. No braids, dreadlocks, or decorative shaving.
• Legs and armpits must be shaved, but not decoratively (see above).
• Proper undergarments (bra, slip, and corset) must be worn at all times.
• Skirts must be no more than four (4) inches above the ground. This will be measured by a supervisor, when the girl in question is standing straight-legged in ordinary shoes and not touching or adjusting the skirt in any way.
• Brown pantyhose are permitted. Tights, leggings, fishnet stockings, garters, legwarmers, embroidered hose, legcoolers, teddies, leather, knee-high boots, crotchless panties, and bullwhips are not.
• Modest jewelry is permitted. What is “modest” will be determined firstly and finally by the supervisor or Personnel Manager.
• Makeup should be light, realistic, and not distracting in any way from the work environment.
