poorly dressed

着装不齐

(zhuózhuānɡbùqí ) 

A: The weather is so hot it's killing me. I need to wear a camisole.

这天气真是热死了。我觉得需要穿吊带上衣了。

(zhè tiānqì zhēnshì rèsǐle. wǒ juédé xūyào chuān diàodài shànɡyīle.) 

B: You saying this reminds me that I saw some news about a girl wearing a camisole and long skirt on the subway but a security official said the girl was poorly dressed.

这个让我想起来新闻里有个女生穿吊带长裙坐地铁,被安检人员说"着装不齐"。

(zhèɡè rànɡwǒ xiǎnɡqǐlái xīnwénlǐ yǒuɡè nǚshēnɡ chuāndiàodài chánɡ qúnzuòdìtiě, bèiānjiǎn rényuán shuō zhezhuānɡbùqí。.)

A: How is a camisole poorly dressed? 

吊带有什么着装不齐？

(diàodài yǒushénme zhuózhuānɡbùqí?)

B: The subway department apologized and said there were no rules that said you can't wear a camisole. 

后来地铁部门也道歉了,说没有规定不可以穿吊带。

(hòulái dìtiěbùmén yě dàoqiànle, shuō méiyǒu ɡuīdìnɡ bùkěyǐ chuān diàodài.)

A: This is like how in the US there are some airlines that don't let you wear leggins on the plane. 

这就像美国有些航空公司不允许穿打底裤坐飞机一样。
