Sexy Prom Dresses!

jk4everjk4ever
in July 2011 Moms

Came across this on Yahoo! today.

https://shine.yahoo.com/fashion/prom-dress-rules-high-schools-ban-sexy-gowns-182000932.html  

I feel like there is no way my teenage daughter would get out of the house in some of these banned looks! I do feel like parents should be playing more of a role in this situation. I think it is sad that the schools have to prohibit certain dresses, it is the parent's job to make sure their daughters don't leave for prom looking like street walkers! 

Thoughts?

    My cousin who is about 5 years younger than me wore some atrocious dresses to her dances (all waaaaaaaaaaaaay too short IMO). I would not let me daughter dress like that. But thats just me.  I think media is telling young girls the more skin you show the sexy you are which is not true. Thank goodness I have a boy to worry about! He better not have a prom date like that! Wink

    I don't get why parents are ok with it either. I sound like such an old fuddy duddy, but honest to God the most risque thing at my prom were backless dresses!  Now they are going with barely their nibbles and bits covered up.  There is no way in my parents would've let me out of the house like that.

    Let me tell you first hand, it is RIDICULOUS!! I don't know what their parents are thinking... it just brings us back to the no boundaries, no discipline thing from UO yesterday. I have chaperoned so many dances where I have literally had to pick my chin up off the floor.... we don't have any rules per se, but we should! :)

    I have a 18 year old SIL who is going to prom this year.  My MIL approved and payed for her dress, which I would say is NO better than any of these.

    It is a long dress, but that is about all that is conservative about it.  Her nipples look like they are barely covered, she is busting out of it so much.  I am not a prude by any means, but I think parents should really be more strict in this matter.

    You would also love the clothes she wears all the time, daisy dukes, low cut tops, etc.  She wears them to school too!  Back in my day, we would be sent home for wearing that!

    I thank my lucky stars that the kids at my school wear uniforms! ;) Except for those dress down days that pop up once a month or so... the first one once the weather gets warm is always entertaining!

    Those are considered prom dresses?? Those look like what you see at the clubs on the Strip! Oh hellz no would my daughter be going to prom in those...

    I am with you 100%. That was the first thing I thought- these look like something a 21 year old would wear to some skanky bar. Oh, how I hope Lena is like her mother and would never even think of wearing such things.

    I wore a uniform in middle school and I loved it.  I actually wish public schools would break down and start using uniforms.  It would make this issue so much easier as a parent.

    OMG, DD will be wearing a nun's costume to prom before she is allowed to wear anything like that out of our house.  I don't even want to image how revealing clothing will be by the time DD is ready for a dance or prom, good heavens, this is how bad it has gotten in the 13 years since I graduated high school, how bad will it be in 13 years when our LO's are going to homecoming dances and etc.

    Mom's of boys, be glad, but make sure to teach them that clothing like that is not appropriate on women, it belittles them, and then it'll make our jobs easier :)
