   The fabric of the top must not be see-through.
   
   The shirt should be loose-fitting and not cling to the skin ("bodycon" style).
   
   The hem of the shirt should be at least several inches below the top of the skirt so that when you lift your arms or bend over, no skin is exposed.
   
   The neckline should cover at least the lowest part of the neck.
   
   If the shirt has buttons (full button-down or polo style), all buttons should be buttoned, including the top button.
   
   If this is uncomfortable, either purchase a larger size for a larger neck or wear another garment underneath, and the top button can be open.
   
   It is recommended that you use a pin of some type to cover the top button.
   
   This serves as a reminder not to unconsciously undo the top button.
   
   If you do not like wearing flashy jewelry, the pin can be of a flat-looking neutral metal.
