Thanks! Well my husband has done something on those lines, but at the moment it doesn't seem to work, she'd just accuse him he's behaving ''like a male''.
So what. Dad should just reply that "he IS a male, and why is she so insistent on displaying herself to him?"
This is your home, it doesn't matter how old she is. As long as she's living there, she should be respectful that no one wants to see her private parts. I'm sure it is making dad and brother uncomfortable. Would she like to see her dad and brother walking around "showing"? I don't think so.
I don't know what OP's daughter is wearing, but it is clear that it is not considered sufficient by OP and her husband, and that is really all we need to know. OP and her husband are the adults, and they make the rules, or should. If they don't consider their daughter's attire appropriate, they need to require her to put on more clothes, not try to persuade her. Period.

I think we are making assumptions that they are able to see that she's not wearing underwear. The OP hasn't been back to clarify.
I'm a mother of two children, on 13 and one 16. My 16 year old daughter is spending more time at home that she used to due to her studies. Since the end of summer I've noticed that she's been cutting down on underwear at home. Although she's dressed nicely to go out etc however, at home her clothes have turned skimpy, including in the garden which we share with 1 neighbour. I've brought up the subject a number of times, she just brushes off and now she keeps saying she'll be 17 soon. In all fairness it wouldn't bother me that much if it was just us two, but her dad and brother are there too. Can anyone help? Thanks!
Quick replies are very welcome, this is the only day my daughter and me are alone for few hours!
Thanks again
I suppose I am old school. My wife and I very clearly let our kids know that she and I set the standards at home. We would listen to them but at times there was a point where they had to realize we are the parents and they were the minors and the decision was ours. If one of our daughters did that, we would talk to her and if she wanted to keep doing so, at that moment she would be told that it is not her choice how she dresses at home, end of subject. To me many parents today are abdicating their roles as parents and want to run a home like a democracy, not with us. We were the parents, not their friends who they could talk to as such high school classmates. That is why in my opinion parents have such hard time today keeping their kids in line with all these touchy feely approaches. Saying "no" worked just fine and they did not become mentally depressed as we see so many today. Take care.
If she can't tell by looking, I'm guessing the OP has noticed because of reduced number of undies going through the laundry.
My mom had to tell me to stop running around the house in a certain nightgown when I was 13. But a 16-yr-old's motivations can be different.
No the computer isn't possessing her to do this so this isn't his expertise.
