Wow, this thread has provoked a lot of extreme reactions and even intents of religious justification. What I didn't see was someone suggesting a dialogue or some compromise. So the boyfriend wants the OP to dress a certain way: how about making him happy just occasionally? I seriously doubt the guy has any sexist or oppression motives, he'd just like to see his partner dressed like the objectified women that bombard us from every possible media today. We men can't help liking sexy, and there's nothing to be sorry about. My advice to this woman is to try to make his boyfriend understand that she'll go along with it sometimes as a play session, and that he's also lucky to be with a woman that doesn't make her body image a way of life.
