They can wear what they want. It's about pool not sex appeal. Leave that to Tennis.
Forcing all the women on the IPT to wear Mini-skirts would be like forcing women everywhere to wear mini-skirts. I'm sorry, but that thought gives me the shivers.
Perhaps it's a specific woman pro you wanted to see wearing a mini-skirt. If that's the case why don't you just google her, send her an e-mail with your wish and stay tuned to the OLN, if you're fortunate enough to get it in your area.

I think that would be prohibited in the dress code. Nevertheless this rule should be decided on a case by case basis.

Your being a queen and all, I would think it very difficult to play in those big dresses down to the floor and the ermin robes. Maybe you should petion the royal court to see if you can play in slacks and a blouse.
I voted no. Pool's image has always been a bit seedy, ya know whenever a Bar fight scene takes place in a movie, it almost always has to include a Pool table or somebody getting wacked with a Pool Cue. 
The ladies should be able to wear, and nice Dress or matching jacket & Skirt set if they so choose. The Shirt and Tie thing for the Men is a bit over the top. It is Ok for the Reception and maybe closing party, but the men should be able to wear a short sleeve Golf type shirt to play, so they are more comfortable and perspire less while at the Table.
Ever try standing all day in your Dress shoes? They should be able to wear
a walking or running shoe like a Reebok or new Balance if they so choose.
KT has his head up his you know what on that rule. True he is trying to clean up Pool's image, but playing in a suit and not so comfortable shoes IMO is not very smart.
On the other hand to get back to your original question.
I enjoy watching a Girl play pool in a short skirt. My wife loves to wear short skirts, and she teases me by giving me a Flash every now & then when out to dinner or at a party.

That might be the influence of Deno's 3-c background. Those guys always wear little pretentious vests and ties. Bad influence of those proper Brits on the game, what?
I think it should be carte blanche in terms of dress, whatever works for you, but then again I liked the hippie 60's and hated the disco 70's. What do I know?

You done good.
Sounds like this thread turned serious. When I voted I thought it was a joke. Now that it appears serious, I change my vote to "no".

I voted no for obvious reasons. However I think that making money in any sport is not always about performance but about marketing yourself. If an enterprising young lady would spice up the womens division by dressing in a manner that the majority of spectators (men) would take a closer look, I believe it would be to her financial advantage ie., endorsements, exhibitions, etc.
Would this be demeaning to the sport? Absolutely not. It would bring more spectators. Could it become to spicy? Yes, but all that would have to be done is revise the dress code again. That again would only add to the spectator curiosity. Sexy does not necessarily mean trashy.
Many men and women look absolutely boring by their dress and manerisms in pool tournaments and especially league play. It is easy to identify the classy and stylish players. These are the one that new spectators root for and isn't that what we want---more spectators, more interest, more money for our sport?

Though I'm sure you'd look lovely

I think many of the women of the WPBA have already done this. Loree Jon Jones, Ewa Mataya Laurence, and of course Jeanette "Black Widow" Lee come to mind. It has not hurt the WPBA or their careers. Of course, it is a matter of degree, mini-skirts might be over the top.Tennesseejoe said:

While that might be interesting I think they are more likely to be over the bottom...

CC,
Damnit, what is this fixation that everyone has with blouses? Blouses, blouses, blouses....blah, blah, blah. Everyone would be cooler without them (not to mention how much they can restrict your freedom of stroke - no pun intended....sort of).
