So Wrong

Sarah Perez on January 25th, 2005

Xcitepromdressny_1263_mjmsip_1106651343I heard about these dresses this morning on the MJ Morning show, and I had to see for myself. I cannot believe they are being marketed towards high school girls! Even the company’s CEO said that he would not let his daughter wear the dress. However, the dress is a top-seller, so my question is: what kind of parent buys this dress for their teenage daughter?

  1. You’ll notice the picture in the Post has a girl who doesn’t have the body for it wearing it as tore up as possible, whereas the company-approved image shows it on the body type for which it is intended and has the fabric falling as the designer intended.

    Personally, I think it’s hot, and if I had an extra $500, I’d find somewhere to wear it. But I’m 24, not 15, so it’s a little different.

  2. I have a dress that would look a lot like that…if I wore it BACKWARD.

  3. At my high school (grad 3 years ago) a girl couldn’t walk thorough the door with such a dress. Hopefully all schools will put boundaries to keep this nations girls from HOEISM

  4. What kind of parent buys their teenager that kind of dress? The kind that isn’t paying attention. I seriously doubt any parent would actually BUY that. They probably just give the kid money to go shopping for clothes and don’t even pay attention to them as they are walking out the door.

  5. At my daughter’s high school homecoming, the school staff members and assistant principals were stationed outside the doors to enforce the dress code, and several girls were turned away because their outfits were too revealing and didn’t meet the dress code.
    One of the girls was a 9th grader wearing a skirt so short, that half of her butt was showing.

    It does make me wonder about some of these parents. Why don’t they care about what could happen to their kid when she’s wearing a dress like this? All you have to do is mix teenage hormones and alcohol, and you’ve got a disaster waiting to happen. Wearing a dress like that one carries a huge burden of responsiblity that they arent yet equipped to deal with.
    In my opinion, marketing executives who peddle these dresses are as bad as the ones who promote cigarrettes to middle schoolers.

  6. SO what a dress does’t make some oe a slut if u can raise a good daughter then a silliy little froc won’t make her a bad person. a dress is a dress and remember man once walked around naked. If high school don’t like it then they don’t wear it and if they do they buy it. If tehir parents trust them no worries
