FIDE allows tournament directors to set dress codes. Wonder if she was put in a position where she was forced to withdraw - didn't give her time to actually comply.

Not given enough time to comply. Her dress was very modest. Director wanted her in pants. Read the article.

The tourney director originally used the word "seductive".
"‘The tournament director deemed my student’s dress to be “seductive” and a “temptation from a certain angle far, far away”,’ Kal wrote. ‘We found this statement completely out of line!’"

most probably the journalist was, in light of the current hysteria over paedophilia !
maybe things were somewhat 'lost in translation'.
English may not have been spoken well and a word which in literal translation to English meant 'seductive' was said, which was then taken out of context !
maybe he thought the girls dress was too colourful and the stripes could be distracting to some opponents and unfortunately was not able to communicate this very well due to poor english.

Out of line? But line is all I see on that dress in the picture! 🙄
