But having a “right” to do something certainly doesn’t mean you should do it!
Who gets to determine what she should do? Surely, the answer is obvious. She made a choice.

Agree with ClaraC's post above. There is a new breed of person--people who are "you are not going to tell me what to do" types, or bullies, or just plain trashy.
What about in the 17th and 18th centuries? Isis' Wardrobe: The bared bosom in 17th and 18th century art

Or when it was common for women to breastfeed uncovered in public.

She may have been dressed tacky, but that can happen when you don't have a dress code posted. Stuff like this can be avoided, put a sign on your door warning customers.

That's not true. Look at women's fashions through out the years. Boobs have ALWAYS been well represented.

I used to be fat. It was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to overcome. I didn’t often pay attention to how I was dressed ( too casual but nothing revealing) because I just didn’t think it mattered. I’m grateful to the people who told me it does. And nowadays there is so much info out there, and so many clothing options.

Now I may be a bit too thin and have no desire to go back the other way. It’s a different mindset entirely. No way would I have ever been a “ fat pride” person. I was always mortified by my weight.

It is good on this woman that she is holding her own. But posting on social media and whining?

This kind of stuff reminds me of the crappy singers who go on those talent shows and for some reason expect to win and become famous. Sorry, there are standards. Whine all you want. Unfortunately (for some) this applies to most areas of life.

Implied shame for being female? When was the last time you saw an obese guy in a crop top whose junk fell ot when he bent over?
That's sad that you apparently tie your worth to your weight. I was never "mortified" by being overweight. Like you, I was formerly obese. While I wasn't "fat pride", I was happy, content and definitely didn't tie my value and attractiveness to my weight. I am not happier now because I am 70 lbs lighter. I lost because of health problems, plain and simple. Everything else (lean figure, clothing, etc.) is gravy.

I didn't need people to tell me anything. I lost weight when I felt that it was the right time to lose.

She had no intention to flirt
Only wanted to wear her shirt
But they made her seem brash
Now the shirt's in the trash
Her feelings a little bit hurt

Woman says she was kicked out of Golden Corral because of her crop top: 'I never wanna wear that shirt again'

Seems to me that ugly people should go for maximum coverage instead of "letting it all hang out."

I didn’t tie it to my “worth” as a person. I just hated it! It was uncomfortable. I’m a singer and my photos looked like crap. Being “mortified” doesn’t mean I felt worthless. It was just damned ugly, like wearing crappy clothes. I carry my weight around my middle and it was like carrying a tire around.

Im grateful to the people who suggested I dress better, etc. That’s just life. I am happier as a thin person. Skinny pride!!!

And how would you have felt if you were told a customer complained about you, and you needed to cover up or leave?

Who gets to be the ugly police? The woman in question wore that outfit because her husband said she looked cute.
