I can so picture this dress because I teach middle school and every year at commencement, at least one girl wears a dress just as inappropriate as what you describe. SOmetimes they are strapless (forbidden). Sometimes they are of the ballgown nature. Sometimes all white just like a wedding dress. Zebra striped. Sequins. Mom's/grandma's/auntie's skirt from 1970. THis is for 45 minutes of COMMENCEMENT. Not even a dance!!<br /><br />I laugh when I think of what I wore to homecoming in 1991. Laura Ingalls Wilder, anyone? I was no fashionista but I think I was a tad extra out of style with the dress I wore. The girls were covered by material AND lace on top of it in a smocking type style and my hoo ha? Didn't even know I had one back then.<br /><br />Ace bandage. Ha ha. Still laughing.JoAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10548653968066971599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-56427473645845422002012-10-03T14:04:29.151-04:002012-10-03T14:04:29.151-04:00Thanks Jenna, I think so too. :)

My oldest's biggest issue is her height, she's extremely tall and so everything she tries on is so short on her, and then add to that the fact that EVERY DRESS is short to begin with and you have a tall beautiful girl basically wearing a belt.<br /><br />She didn't throw a fit, she was really, perfectly fine with it, which makes me a very lucky mom.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />TeriSnarkfestBloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15654521423192515080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-69699007797729261072012-09-24T11:17:00.228-04:002012-09-24T11:17:00.228-04:00These are the days I am NOT looking forward too! ...These are the days I am NOT looking forward too!

Several of the couples ate at the restaurant where we were, and hub wanted to cover our then-4-year-old's eyes because of the dresses (or the lack thereof) that a few of those girls were wearing. And yes, we were those judgmental people who don't know those girls (who might very well BE nice, non-hookerish girls!), but we assumed they were of "questionable morals" based solely on the blue-tinted bandaids they were wearing with their 6-inch heels. <br /><br />I am so glad I had a boy.
