Ask if she is going to pull up her pants or she wants you to park your bicycle back there. ---

Just recite this little ditty we used to say as kids: I see your hiney. It’s black and shiney. You better hide it. Before I bite it. ---

I would simply tell her that her butt is showing and it might not be considered professional to dress that way. If you have a problem telling her yourself, ask HR to do so. That is one of the HR department’s functions. I had a female coworker who would wear short dresses and give us crotch shots even with her legs primly tucked together. Yes, she wore underwear, thank heavens. I took her aside and told her one day. I thought she would rather hear it from me than from our boss. ---
