A Kentucky college student has hired a lawyer after she was escorted out of a mall by security on Sunday because her dress was deemed too short, MyFOXBoston reports.
Kymberly Clem, a 20-year-old student at Eastern Kentucky University, wore the dress Sunday after purchasing it from the mall in Richmond the previous day, the Richmond Register reported Tuesday. After just a few minutes inside of the mall, a security guard approached her and expressed concerns over the length of the garment.
According to MyFOXBoston, the guard informed her that several female patrons had complained that she was disrupting their shopping experience because their husbands were “checking her out.”
“He made me turn all the way around while he stared me up and down,” she told the Register “The only thing he said was that other people didn’t like the way I looked, so he wanted me to leave.”
Clem’s sister Kendra told the Register that while the dress was short, it was not exposing any of her “private body parts.”
While Clem has not yet filed suit against any entity, she has hired local defense attorney Wes Browne to represent her in a possible case, the Register said.

hit the link. I couldn’t hotlink em...FOX.
A mall is private property. They should be allowed to set their own dress code.
Looks too long to me
Most expensive thing in the world, besides an ex-wife, is a second best lawyer.

While I don’t know if she has a case, a couple of things strike me as stupid. First, she thinks she should be able to wear the skirt because she bought it at the mall. She could also buy lingerie at Victoria’s Secret (at many malls) that would be inappropriate to wear out in public. Second, she seems concerned that the security guard looked her up and down. Sheesh, didn’t she wear an (apparently) ultra short skirt to make men look? Goodness, what an airhead. Having said that, she will probably win the suit.

Probably not the short hem. 'hem
Anyone who complains about that is anti-American! Deport ‘em! We need not bother with their kind!
at least she didnt have any tattoos, right guy?
I wonder if she stayed in a complete upright position all the time? And—did she have underwear on?

Agreed. While I don't think the dress would violate any indecency laws, we are not talking about agents of the state (police, etc) trying to prevent her from appearing this way in public. It was representatives of the mall, a private entity, that were responding to the concerns of their patrons.

So guys can’t even look without their old lady calling the cops .
She bought the dress in that very mall.
Sorry, I think she has a case.
That’s a cute dress - and she’s young enough and thin enough to wear it. I say not guilty (from a woman’s POV).
I've seen much shorter. That's no worse than standard attire at Wimbledon.
