Camisoles *are* undergarments. When I think "tank tops" I mean
sleeveless tops with wide shoulder straps, not something that looks like
the top half of a slip.

Not allowed to wear halter tops, either. There must be something wrong
with showing your back and shoulder blades. I'd *kill* for the silk
halter top Grace Kelly wore in the Hitchcock film, 'Rear Window':

Shocking! Heh. Management is always yammering about wanting to entice
younger people to buy/build homes here. Maybe if they'd stop being so
prudish it could happen.

I suspect a lot of these rules are in force due to people who have
grandkids visiting all the time. Sorry, mom forgot to pack his 'Little
Lord Fauntleroy' suit. LOL

In the 60s, a well-known female journalist went to dine at a snooty
restaurant in London. She was refused entry as she was wearing a pant
suit. So she went to the loo and removed her pants and then entered the
dining room. Her jacket passed as a mini, all the rage then!!

Graham, I remember hearing about that (probably here). I remember the
first time I was allowed to wear pants at school. Also in the 1960's.

There's a story about Peter Sellers, probably not true,
but still a good story. He went into a restaurant
without a tie. The management gave him one to wear.
So, he tied it around his forehead (groovy in the 60s) and then sat down at the table.

About 30 years ago we were visiting my wife's aunt and uncle in Calgary
and wanted to take them to a nice restaurant. In had not taken a tie and
ties were required at the place we were going. Her uncle loaned me a
strong tie. Yahoo I felt like a formal cowboy.
