A WOMAN has revealed that she was dress coded for her ‘inappropriate’ outfit whilst at Disney.
Not only did trolls criticise Jessie May’s ‘nappy’ shorts, but others accused her of posing like a ‘stripper’ too.
Shocked at the response, the brunette beauty took to social media to respond to haters.
Posting online, the content creator shared a clip whereby she stood in front of the iconic Disney castle, wearing a cropped red t-shirt and a pair of red and white gingham short shorts.
She paired the outfit with red Adidas Sambas and a pair of Minnie Mouse ears.
Later in the short clip, the Brit then posed alongside a telephone box, showing off her outfit from the side.
But alongside the clip, Jessie drew attention to a comment from a troll which read ‘Inappropriate for Disney.’
In response to the rude remark, Jessie responded and wrote: “This outfit??? Inappropriate for Disney??
“It’s actually one of my faves!! Let’s stop judging girlies’ outfits!!”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @jessie.may, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 62,600 views.
But social media users were left totally divided by Jessie’s outfit – whilst some thought it was ‘perfect’ and didn’t see a problem, others hailed it as ‘breaking the dress code’.
One fashion fan beamed: “Literally nothing wrong with this outfit, it’s cute. I’m a cast member and I’ve seen way more revealing than this.”
A second chimed in: “Literally the PERFECT outfit for Disney.”
Someone else explained: “I don’t get the issue. They are just legs, not like you are walking around naked. All essentials covered.”
Meanwhile, another penned: “What are these comments, I’m obsessed.”
I actually just looked it up and according to Disney policy she is breaking dress code

But at the same time, one person asked: “Is that a diaper?”
Another added: “That was inappropriate, you went to a family park with children and acted like a stripper in that video.”
Can you be dress coded for wearing crop tops in public?
The concept of being “dress coded” typically applies to specific environments such as schools, workplaces, or certain establishments where dress codes are enforced to maintain a particular standard or atmosphere.
In public spaces, however, the situation is generally more relaxed and governed by societal norms rather than strict rules.
That said, whether or not you can be dress coded for wearing a crop top in public largely depends on the context and location:
Public Spaces: In most public spaces, like parks, streets, and beaches, wearing a crop top is generally acceptable and unlikely to result in any formal repercussions. People have the freedom to dress as they choose, provided they adhere to basic standards of decency and local laws.
Establishments and Venues: Some restaurants, shops, or clubs may have their own dress codes. It’s possible that a crop top might not meet the dress requirements for more formal venues. In such cases, staff may politely request that you adhere to their dress code or deny entry.
Schools and Workplaces: Educational institutions and workplaces often have dress codes in place. Crop tops may be considered inappropriate in these settings, and you could be asked to change into more suitable attire.
Cultural and Regional Considerations: In certain cultures or regions, norms and expectations around acceptable clothing can vary widely. It’s always a good idea to be aware of and respect local customs and dress codes when travelling.
Whilst a third commented: “I actually just looked it up and according to Disney policy she is breaking dress code, and she works/worked there which is even more shocking.”
Clapping back to the haters, Jessie posted a follow-up clip and responded: “Who knew wearing shorts and a T-shirt to Disney would cause this much of a stir? People are so mad at me for this outfit.”
Jessie confirmed that she worked at Disney and has been going to Walt Disney Worlds for 15 years with her family.
To be honest, you wanna be in as little clothing as you can be, while still being acceptable, because it’s so hot

The young woman then looked at the official Disney dress code and said: “It states things such as ‘no excessively ripped clothing’, which my clothing had no rips, ‘no clothing with swear words on or anything offensive’, which, once again, it was a red gingham outfit, so none of that.
“But I think the thing they’re referring to is the bit that says ‘you should not show excessive amounts of skin’ – I was obviously wearing a top which comes up to the top of my neck, sleeves, but it stops just above my belly button.
“And then I’m wearing low rise shorts, which fully cover everything – I had my legs out and my stomach out, so if that’s what excessive amounts of skin means, I’m really sorry.”
Jessie explained that she wouldn’t class her outfit as showing ‘excessive amounts of skin’ and admitted that although her stomach was out, it was because of the 40 degree heat in Florida.
As a result, she concluded: “I was there all summer, I worked there, I saw hundreds, if not thousands of guests a day and I would say that my outfit fits with probably what 90% of people wear to the parks, which is little shorts and a top, because to be honest, you wanna be in as little clothing as you can be, while still being acceptable, because it’s so hot.”
