A woman shared her exasperation after she was called out at work for wearing a 'revealing' outfit because her hoodie showed off a hint of midriff. 

Eilani, a Target worker based in San Diego, said she was 'dress-coded' at work - meaning she was criticized for not wearing an appropriate outfit.

Sharing a snap of what she wore on the day on Twitter, a disgruntled Eilani showing she had been wearing a pair of jeans with a hoodie, with only a sliver of skin showing at the waist. 

Eilani shared the picture on Twitter, with the caption: 'Got dress coded at work the other day… the ‘revealing’ outfit in question:'

The snap showed she was wearing acid washed high-waisted jeans with trainers, and a red and blue hoodie that covered her arms , over a black boat-neck t-shirt. 

The only part of her body that was visible was a flash of skin at her waist where the jeans met the hoodie. 

This comes as a high school has been branded 'sexist and creepy' after demanding their female students to submit photos of their prom dress ahead of time or face being banned. 

Oxford High School in Alabama sparked outrage earlier this month after a post on their Facebook page asked teen girls to send images of themselves modelling their chosen outfits.

The event organisers warned that girls would not be given access to the prom unless their dress was 'pre-approved' - meaning they had to send images of what it looked like from both the front and back. 

Meanwhile, male students were simply told it was 'tuxedos or suits only' and that jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes, caps and oversized clothing was prohibited.

What's more, the post - which has since been deleted - also specified that students would not be allowed to partake in 'dirty dancing', 'public displays of affection' or any 'sexual motions' on school premises.

Outlining the strict dress code, the social media post read: 'Females: Evening gowns and cocktail dresses.

'No transparent material, no slits more than six inches from the middle of the knee, no dress length can be shorter than six inches from the middle of the knee all the way around (both front and back from the middle of the knee), no revealing necklines (armpit line) or back lines.

'Dresses may be sleeveless or strapless provided all from the armpit-line to mid-thigh are covered. No two-piece dresses with midriff showing will be allowed.'
