A stranger? I think I would tell him/her to mind their own damn business. I don't dress that way myself, but if there is one thing I hate, it is when people who know nothing about you, feel free to voice their opionions to/about you.

I'd probably tell them that, as much as a value the fact that they have an opinion, they should stick it up their backside

I would opt for a response I've heard BAM use occasionally: Sod off!

I'd think he/she was a nosy nut-job with a preoccupation with sex. I'd probably tell him/her to ram something painful in a tight orifice. If I were in a REALLY good mood, I'd probably flash said person. Good question. ==================================== Support the return of the avatar: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/111472

i would ask them if they were jelous!then i would tell them that they were just mad because they couldnt afford me..lol

I would laugh.

Honestly, I'd probably just tell them to F*** off, and quite possibly give them a good solid punch in the nose.

Is the person of the same sex or opposite sex because that would effect my answer. Dress modestly. What you wear sends out a message to others. Back in Bible times, wearing certain styles of clothing branded a person as being immoral or promiscuous. (Proverbs 7:10) The same is often true today; tight, flashy, or revealing clothing can attract the wrong kind of attention. True, some may feel they have a right to wear whatever they desire. But as writer Elizabeth Powell puts it, "if you worked among people who believed stealing money was okay, I'd tell you not to wear your billfold on your hip. . . . You have to recognize the sickness of . . . society's attitudes and try to protect yourself from being victimized by them." The Bible's advice is thus up-to-date. It admonishes women to "adorn themselves in well-arranged dress, with modesty and soundness of mind." (1 Timothy 2:9) Dress modestly, and you may be less likely to be a target of abusive speech or actions. If a man was telling me this, I would think that something that I had on might have given him impure thoughts and I probably should not wear it again. If a woman was telling me this, I would probably think that something is wrong with her because if she is getting wrong thoughts about me, that is just plain creepy.

Well, we had this situation in our church when the priest announced on the pew for women to dress modestly when coming to church and communion. Many were embarassed and did not get from the benches to take communion on that day.

I would probably respond by advising THEM to get plastic surgery.

I would at first act politely and mildly confused/surprised, and then I would say (politely, but firmly), "Your advice is not welcome!" And then I would walk away. I read a lot of etiquette advice, and it's generally agreed that to tell a stranger how they ought to behave (even if you think you're telling them nicely) is the height of rudeness. I guess the idea is, keep your own mind on your own self. It's often suggested that, when someone is rude to you, a good response is not to act rude back, but to act politely confused, like, their behaviour is so outside proper, expected behaviour that they can't even get themselves understood when they act that way.
