[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bring her in for a second interview just to see if she picked up on her inappropriate dress.   If she comes back dressed appropriately you are good to go.[/quote]

This is actually what I am leaning toward doing. I liked her a lot and I would hope she picked up on the dress code from the panel. If she did, it will tell me a lot about her maturity and judgment. If she didn't, well....[/quote]

Good idea.  Also, if you do have to turn her down for the job, and if she asks for feedback, you could state that your office got the impression that she was not terribly interested in the job because of her choice of casual attire at the interview.  To me, that would be the biggest negative about her outfit choice -- that she might seem not to care about getting the job.  Your team is looking for someone who is a bit more eager.  If it turns out that she was eager for the job, I suspect she'll find that feedback very helpful for her job search going forward.[/quote]
