Generally speaking, school admins only involve themselves with student apparel when given no other choice. Their goal is to educate, not to micromanage dress codes.
It's extremely uncomfortable for most male school admins to advise a teenage girl that within a school setting, her skirt is too short, her blouse too tight, her display of cleavage inappropriate. With boys they deal with pants that are too low, too baggy or too tight, and inappropriate tee shirts.
Part of my apparel industry experience was setting up and maintaining uniform programs for schools. Trust me, in the US at least, schools regulate student apparel only when the parents and students have miserably failed to do so.
You wouldn't believe the convos I had with parents in this regard. An astonishing number of women were highly invested in their daughters' appearance. These women thought it was fine for their daughters to go to school all tarted up. No lie.
