Please don't show your bust line.



That was the first warning issued by the tour coordinator to us, 14 New Delhi-based women journalists. The admonition came on July 15, 2005, little before we took off by Mahan Airlines on a direct flight to Tehran.



Just to drive the point home, pragmatic Indian diplomats in Tehran also gave us a dress code in writing. At a dinner hosted for us by the amenable His Excellency S L Yaghoubi, ambassador of Iran, his colleagues mildly put into words their idea of what we ought to wear in their country.



Trousers and tops were allowed, apparently, but the tops had to be full-sleeved. They also had to extend to one's knees. Another thing Iranian men preferred women wearing were sober colours, preferably design-free.

Aside, I too have a dress code at work. I don't understand why having a dress-code at institutions looked down by so-called forward thinkers?

If you have a dress code, how can madonna, Britney, miley cyrus and numerous other innovative entrepreneurs make a living?
Live and let live.
