But isn't allowed to attend! Shocking!
What is it with these parents who allow their girls to dress like this?

"Michele thought the girl looked like she took a sheet and a bed spread and attempted to make a dress."
nice try at changing your stance. no, it's in writing what your intent was - that this girl dresses like a hooker, not that her dress was unfashionable, or that it may (or not) have violated a dress code that specifically addressed appropriate dresses allowed for prom.

I think we're too hard on kids today and too uppity.
In my day, I wore a sleeveless, black dress, cut above the knee, with a tastefully tattered skirt and great legs at a time when others wore full-length, pastel dresses with high lace collars and poofy crinolines. I had worn my dress to a fraternity formal earlier in the spring. The dress was fun, spunky.
No teacher or chaperone said anything negative to me about my dress. I guess I was one of those trying to change the standards; like a flapper on the way to a speakeasy.

On another thread, michele comments that she and Brian H. probably like the same movies, music, books, etc. I'm curious in her list because I suspect that I wouldn't.
But this thread reminded me of the very funny Mike Nichols movie, Postcards from the Edge ...
Suzanne: Do you remember my seventeenth birthday party when you lifted your skirt up in front of all those people?
Doris: I did not lift my skirt, it twirled up! You only remember the bad stuff, don't you? What about the big band I got to play at that party, do you remember that? No, you only remember that my skirt accidentally twirled up!
Suzanne: And you weren't wearing any underwear.
Doris: Well!

This is where I think we just have divergent world views.
I don't think it is a matter of right or wrong for groups to have dress codes or social expectations. I think it is human nature and simply what is.

I didn't change my stance, I thought she looked like a hooker and still do.
