A dress code must be enforced uniformly across all employees within a given job description. However, an employer can take reasonable steps to insure modesty even within a code. If you're not overly exposed, then singling you out may be prohibited. Don't forget, Arkansas is an at-will employment state with an employer having the right to terminate no-contractual employees "at will".
