This story reminds me of a TV show back when women were starting to
wear trousers in the work place where a dress code had required that
they wear dresses in the past.
   
  The protagonist was meeting her boyfriend (both lawyers) for lunch
  in an upscale restaurant (where the waiters wore the tux costume).
  She was wearing dress pants over which was a long shirt tied at the
  waist.
   
  The waiter said, sorry we can not serve women wearing pants here. So
  she stood up and took them off, leaving only the shirt that was
  longer than most minis at the time.
