A U.S. woman claimed Monday that she was fired from her temporary job because her outfits were “too hot,” according to local news reports.

Lauren Odes said that the Orthodox Jewish employers at a local lingerie company disapproved or her purple, black and brown outfits, asked her to tape down her breasts to make them look smaller, and even requested that she wear a bathrobe to cover one of her outfits.

“This whole experience has been horrifying to me,” Odes, 29, told reporters. “We should not be judged by the size of our breasts or the shape of our body.”

Odes said she felt her wardrobe was appropriate for a business that sells “thongs with hearts placed in the female genital area and boy shorts for women that say ‘hot’ in the buttocks area.”

She eventually agreed to wear a sweater over her clothes, but was fired nonetheless.

“I understand that there are Orthodox Jewish men who may have their views about how a woman should dress ... but I do not feel that any employer has the right to impose their religious beliefs on me,” she said.
