My office, it was an informal place, most women wore jeans or slacks because we had several levels of offices, sometimes you had to go up a ladder. One young lady was right out of HS, got married to her sweetheart, this was her 1st real job, she took it seriously. She dressed as if she worked for a downtown law firm, nice skirts and blouses.
I had to ask her to go into archives to retrieve some docs for a lawsuit. Archives were in a storage area up a flight of stairs, boxes were on racks as tall as 10', a rolling ladder helped. She had never been there so I took her to show her the system. Of course the 1st box was near the top, she had on a short skirt, I asked her if she wanted me to leave, but I think she was afraid, she said no, Trying to climb a ladder with one hand with the other hand and holding your skirt, doesn't work. Her butt was about eye level, finally she gave up and just let go of her skirt.
She started wearing jeans and slacks after that.
