This study tested the prediction that women's clothing predispositions would be related to reported dressing practices on the job, satisfaction with job outcomes, and career advancement. Data were gathered from 300 women, representing over 200 organizations in the west, south, and midwest regions of the United States. The major result was women who were more clothing conscious dressed more conservatively on the job and were more satisfied with job outcomes. Several additional results are reported. Implications of the results are discussed in terms of organizational dress expectations and the consequences of violating such expectations.
