Skimpy latte: victory for bikini baristas as federal court rejects city’s dress code

Ordinance in Everett, Washington, requiring coffee servers to cover up is unconstitutional, judge rules

A Washington city's dress code saying so-called bikini baristas must cover their bodies at work has been ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.

The decision in a partial summary judgment this week comes after a lengthy legal battle between bikini baristas and the city of Everett, on the outskirts of Seattle, over the rights of workers to wear what they want, the Everett Herald reported.
