I'd ease up on the whole poking thing. While I suppose it technically could be called battery (and I hope you have witnesses), if I were called to jury duty to find a case involving a passenger whining about being poked with a finger, I'd probably acquit just because of the annoyance. Just focus on the actual part, the clothing, maybe the poke thing (again, only if you have a witness willing to back you up) only parenthetically.

But if I were UA I would probably tell you it is the captains ship, and if he thought your dress was inappropriate, we back him up.
