Chaplains are allotted a lot of leeway under such circumstances as well... even by old crusty guys
I attended an Air Force dining out where our Lieutenant, after the dinner, before the dance, removed her jacket and revealed a modified blouse - half Air Force blue formal (in the front) half short sleeved bowling shirt in the back!
