[...] 1. Make sure the costume guidelines fit with the company dress code and culture. The workplace is not an appropriate venue suggestive or provocative costumes.

The description of the costume is taken from the court’s opinion, probably the product of one of the attorneys. Your comment would be more helpful with pictures. Thanks for reading.

I call shenanigans. I was *at* the party in question. Yes, Kim’s costume was of the Empire State Building… and it was made of CARDBOARD. It was so NOT see-through, I didn’t even realize that there was a woman inside, never mind someone I knew. Further, Kim was nominated for a ‘Best Costume’ award at the party… and Shillman announced her nomination, in front of the whole company, with the comment “Kim Dahms as the Empire State Building! Who wouldn’t want to climb up THAT?!?” The rest is left as an exercise to the reader.

I would love to see such costume. Also, love the picture accompanying the post with the picture of the ESB with the, ahem, bush at the bottom.

Wow, the court really erred by letting in evidence presented by the plaintiff’s own lawyer! Clearly you didn’t read the ruling, otherwise you would have noticed that Dahm’s own attorney was the first to introduce Dahm’s Halloween photos at trial in connection with the cross-examination of one of her bosses, asking him, “These are the costumes you complained were too provocative or seductive, right?”
