A SHOP assistant at Victoria’s Secret has found a way to stay one step ahead of her bosses when it comes to being dress-coded.
TikTok user Sophia Vi is having some fun on her platform as she plays a cat-and-mouse clothing game with the lingerie store.

The arrival of the Victoria's Secret general manager, however, ups the ante.
Recording her video in the bathroom, Sophia wonders if this time she will be called out on the uniform front.
If there is a dress code for the store, Sophia refuses to stick to it, favoring tight, clinging, midriff-revealing clothes for her workplace.
“Actually kinda nervous cause our general manager is in today,” she says at the beginning of the TikTok clip.

Her followers can’t believe she has never been dress-coded before.
“A lot of you didn’t believe me that I dress like this for work and without getting dress-coded," she said.
Sophia sets herself a challenge: “So today is day one of trying to get dress-coded at work."
She describes what she is wearing while showing it off, including a very pretty Victoria’s Secret bra.

“So, first thing, I am wearing an extremely sheer top, a blue and yellow bra that is not allowed - only black and white ones - and then I have a lot of stomach exposed, and I’m wearing my tight leggings.”
Leggings are her uniform she admits, saying: “I wear them all the time but technically they’re not allowed.”
However, despite her efforts, no reprimand took place.
Instead, she had a very different outcome.
“Definitely did not get dress-coded," she updates her video. Everyone loved my outfit, especially my general manager. So try again??”
Commenters who responded to her post were both amused and supportive.
And several Victoria’s Secret managers shared their insights too.
One said: “As a manager at Victoria’s Secret, I would 1000% let you wear this! Super cute girl.”
Another manager said: “The only thing I would dress code you on is the leggings. Nothing else. Wear the bra to sell it.”
However, several TikTok users commented about their own dress-coding incidents at other Victoria's Secret locations and elsewhere.
“I used to work at Victoria’s Secret and I got dress coded every day,” was one comment.

It happened in other workplaces too: “I literally got dress coded at work because my shirt was tucked in and I didn’t have a belt on.”
Finally, one person revealed: “One time I wore a crop top and got dress coded.”
