Ridiculous church dress code

So, in July I moved back to Poland and school starts on tuesday. I start high school and my younger sister starts gimnasium. One thing that you should note is that Poland is a catholic country, this will come into play later. On the first day of school, students dress smartly (I'm wearing a charcoal grey suit) and usually have this opening ceremony kind of thing. However, as I stated before Poland is also a catholic country so of course there is a mass in church at the start (in my school and my sister's). I am luckily not required to go so of course I'm not going. However my sister has to go so my family had to just accept it and let my sister go to church (despite my sister not wanting to go and my parents being reluctant to send her). For this occasion my sister bought this top where you can see her shoulders. Guess what? The church doesn't allow it because apparently 'IT IS TOO REVEALING'. Seriously, what the actual fuck?! I mean not only are these children forced to go to church they are forced to dress a certain way! This is pretty common but it just really pissed me off so I thought I'd just rant about it online.

Can she continue wearing that particular top so she doesn't have to go?
Seriously these types of things piss me off.

If they want to encourage people into Church putting restrictions on people to go is counterproductive. Next thing they'll want people to dress like the Virgin Mary because it's always the fault of the women, not the men. At which point they'll be no better than Wahaabi-Salafists.

When i entered my college they said that it's not allowed to grow a beard.
So i grew a beard just because they didn't allow me to
