A Texas lawyer is fighting for her right to bare arms.

The attorney called her out for her “inappropriate” courtroom dress revealed she is now getting nasty letters from fellow female lawyers — but she doesn’t care.

Mariah Medina, a San Antonio-based reporter turned defense lawyer, posted photos of the modest sleeveless sheath dress she wore during a court appearance, which the judge called a “tank top.”

Medina’s peers have rallied behind her — with one male colleague even buying a suit with short pants in solidarity — but attorneys online haven’t been so nice.

“The number of women attorneys who are just so ugly on the internet, I was like, ‘this is so strange,’” Medina told The Post Wednesday.

She’s gotten chilly messages from male lawyers as well – but explained she expected women to show a little more solidarity.

Medina, 25, said sleeveless dresses are practical for the scorching San Antonio summer, adding that she’s worn them before with no problems — as have plenty of her colleagues.

“Texas has the strongest right to bear arms, but when it comes to ‘bare arms’ that right ends between the shoulder and the elbow, I guess,” she quipped.
