WOULD YOU LET YOUR DAUGHTER WEAR THIS PROM DRESS?

By DANICA LO

January 24, 2005 -- PROM princess or porn queen?

This prom dress is so skimpy, even the designer's CEO wouldn't let his teenage daughter wear it. But the dangerously revealing gown, prominently advertised in Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom, and on sale in a Midtown shop, is a top seller for the company this season.

"I was shocked when I first saw it, but now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide," says Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, the Stafford, Texas, company that designed the dress and some 200 other styles this season.

"I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.

"As a businessman," he adds, "I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."

In fact, some shops in smaller cities require girls to bring in parental permission slips to buy the dress, Yeh told The Post.

At Elite Designs, a formal shop in Midtown that has the barely-there gown on a mannequin, owner Surinder Nagpal says, "We've gotten a few calls about that dress. Originally, I wasn't going to stock [it], but my sales associate told me that girls would want it, so we're stocking it in black and red."

So far, says Helen Rodriguez, Nagpal's sales associate, no one has bought the $495 gown - but it just arrived.

"Our biggest sellers are still the traditional princess ball gowns, but sometimes a parent will come in with their daughter and will buy her whichever dress she wants," Rodriguez said.

"If my daughter had the body to wear it, I'd let her!"

It's too early to tell how many girls in New York City will buy the dress, but those who do may have a hard time getting through the prom door.

While it's up to individual school administrators to rule on prom fashions, the Board of Education maintains a disciplinary dress code that prohibits "wearing clothing or other items that are unsafe or disruptive to the educational process."

Lisa Maffei-Fuentes, principal of Christopher Columbus High School in The Bronx, bans "anything that resembles the famous [green Versace] J.Lo dress."

"I personally have to check every dress," says Maffei-Fuentes. "Breasts must be entirely covered and there should not be any cutouts in the bodice.

"On the night of the prom, we have chaperones at the entry looking at every dress. We also provide needle, thread and pins to close up holes and fix dresses to the appropriate length," she says.

"This is for their own protection. We're there to help them experience the prom as a wonderful, dignified evening."

Parents who saw pictures of the dress were shocked.

"It's absolutely too much," said Tal Mandler of Woodmere, Long Island, whose daughter, Dana, is 13. "It is very provocative and does not suit the occasion or the age."

"What happened to the rest of it?" wondered Hilda Salazar, whose 17-year-old daughter is a high school senior in Brooklyn.

Asked whether she'd allow her daughter to wear the dress to prom - or if she'd allow her 19-year-old son to date a girl who did - Salazar answered with a resounding no.

Students at Stuyvesant High School were just as appalled.

"Our school doesn't have a dress code, but I don't think any girls would wear that to prom," said senior Mary Zhang.

"How would you wear it, anyway? Double-sided tape doesn't last all night."

Senior Daniel Belu and junior Katie Hammond laughed out loud at the sight of it.

"I wouldn't want my girlfriend to wear this - at least not in public," Belu said.

"I don't think any girl would wear this to a prom. She'd step on her dress on the dance floor and everything would just fall out!"

Most of the students we spoke to were primarily concerned with practicalities. "You couldn't dance in that dress - actually, you couldn't do anything at all," says junior Vivian Healey.

"If you wore that to prom, you'd be falling out of it all night," says senior Angela Cho. "There's also hardly any material. I can't believe it costs $400. You could make it yourself if you really wanted to."

Other students expressed aesthetic concerns. "I don't think anyone would wear this to the prom. The dress looks kind of whore-ish," says junior Emma Herr.

"This dress would look great at a prom if the model in the picture wore it," says senior Vlaz Ermant, "but we don't have any girls like that at our school."

I'm going to go with no.

I just watched the hens on the View cackle about this.

Thinking of Star Jones wearing it made me have warm feelings inside.

Not in my lifetime !

I won't even let my daughters look at the magazines advertising it, much less let them wear this thing.

Say to say the answer is No.

Z

Says the man who listens to his daughters talk about butt sex. :p

I really hope I get to go to the prom this year.

There's no freaking way in hell.

NO fuckING WAY!!!!

ROFL

But there is a difference between 14 -18 yrs of age and my 2 girls that are 25 and 27 yrs old ! :thumb:

Maybe the Islamic militants are right....

my daughter??

NO, i wouldn't




your daughter??


why yes, yes i would :p

heh, my prom date wore something like that.

So how much did she charge you?

Not a chance. :shake:

in fact. It looks almost exactly the same, but I don't think hers was that revealing.

it was an old girlfriend of mine.

I can't stand her anymore :shake:

It depends. This may be "old fashioned" by the year 2018.

I'm all for freedom of choice and letting the market dictate the product but this is absurd. There's no way in hell I'd let my dress company (if I owned one) produce this dress. At some point you have a responsibility to the community and this doesn't uphold that. The fact that he wouldn't let his daughter wear it says that he realizes it's not something he should be selling.

I also find it interesting that some of the adults don't have a problem with it but the kids interviewed were all against it.

<i>"I don't think anyone would wear this to the prom. The dress looks kind of whore-ish," says junior Emma Herr.</i>

Kinda sums it all up.

And if I had a daughter that even looked like she wanted to wear this thing I'd find the closest Catholic girls school and drive her there that night.

whoreish sums it up nicely

I LOOOOVE Catholic school girl uniforms. :evil:

while it's easy for me to say (having had 4 sons and no daughters), and assuming we're talking h.s. prom (which would make the girl 17 or 18), i would probably go with my daughter's decision...

by that age, they're mature enough to know what is and what is not appropriate attire in their age group...

besides, if ya got it, flaunt it... :D :D :D

Sounds like he raised them right!

Oh yeah. Take her to the catholic school, ck. Do it.

<i>I LOOOOVE Catholic school girl uniforms.</i>

Lucky you. My sister went to Catholic school so the whole concept is kinda ruined for me.

Now if I was GoChiefs I suppose it would be a totally different matter.

You're kidding, right? :hmmm:

Interesting. They'll discuss the joy of anal adventures with you, but that dress is off limits?

I would likely dissuade my daughters from wearing that dress to prom, but I don't see much difference between that and a swimming suit - not that you'd wear a swim suit to prom....

Oops - somebody already went there. Sorry.

By the time your daughter is going to prom, if she's a slut, she's a slut. It doesn't matter what you let her wear by that time... The water is already under the bridge.

Meow.

<i>Says the man who listens to his daughters talk about butt sex.</i>

Ok I've obviously missed something here. Anyone care to catch me up? :hmmm:

Very true.

I have 5 and 3 year old girls and when they go to the prom, way in the future, no way in hell they are wearing that.

Isn't amazing how THIS topic sparks so much interest?

:evil:

UH - no.

By then, they'll be wearing something more like this:

Roy revealed in another thread that his daughters speak openly about their love for the backyard bingo. He accuses his sons-in-law of liking the "fudge" too much.

Maybe..... if she wore a turtle-neck sweater and sweat pants underneath that damn thing. Like Martin Lawrence said in Bad Boys II.

"Are you a virgin?"
"Yes"
"Good, keep it that way". "Ain't gonna be no fu#*in' tonight."

Who cares...it'll be off by the end of the night anyways.

It's amazing to me how worked up our society gets about showing breasts. They're just breasts. Lovely, soft breasts. With perky nipples. That bounce up and down ever so slightly with each movement, rising and falling with each breath.

no, not really...

like i said, i'd go with what my daughter wants to wear...

of course, like i said, it's easy for me to say since i've never had any girls...

I'd be more upset with my daughter if she paid $495 for it.

Nah, I've never even met Roy's daughters.

So true htismaqe. I'm not so much interested in what they did or didn't do. Personally I'm fascinated by the fact that they shared it with dear old dad.

I don't have daughters but if I did and one told me she'd done anal I think the next thing heard would be my eulogy.

If that happened to me, the next thing heard would be "Shit, you sure didn't learn that from your mother."

Read the whole thread though, in all honesty, the relationship seems just open and healthy. I just don't think I'd want to talk about the sexual practices of my children with them...

Dear Friends and Family of ck_IN,

ck_IN was a great man, but I'm not here to talk about him today. Who here has been through his daughter's back door - a show of hands please?

I'd hit it...uh, if were younger, I mean....yeah, that's the ticket

Like I said .......But there is a difference between 14 -18 yrs of age and my 2 girls that are 25 and 27 yrs old !

We are suppose to be talking about 14 - 18 year old girls. At that age, yes, it's to revealing to boys at there age with raging hormones busting at the seams.

What my girls do now at there age is completely different.

As I stated, when the closet was opened, I was shocked to hear of the details, but as a father that is slowly changing with the times, they feel it's OK to blurt it out when they feel the need !

<i>Who here has been through his daughter's back door - a show of hands please?</i>

I'd make it a point to write down names and haunt anyone that raised a hand! :cuss:

Gotta spend the afterlife doing something. ROFL

oops...

ROFL

So true!

No way would I let my daughter wear that to the prom. Now I might let my wife wear it to my bed! : :hmmm:

I was shocked, but they told me it was 2004 and not the 70's anymore. :rolleyes:

Told me I need to get a grip of what year it was ! :eek:

Yeah, I'd let your wife wear it to my bed, too. :p

Nope.

But Big Daddy thinks the age of legal consent and the drinking age should be lowered to 16. He also wants weed legalized. (I'm not giving BD a hard time. That's his opinion and he can have whatever opinion he'd like.) But, I never hear anyone complaining when he, or others that think like him, says those things. If you object to your daughter wearing this dress, do you also object to her smoking pot or getting drunk or having sex whenever she wants with whomever she wants? I'm just wondering what you all think for discussion sake. Where do you draw the line on these things? To me, they are all similar decisions that a parent must make. What do you all think?

Where do I apply for that job?

What the heck does Big Daddy have to do with anything?

I think the legal age of consent should be dropped to 16 yes. I think weed should be decriminalized, yes. Do I also think that parents should be parents and make decisions like the one posted here, absolutely. I don't care who's 15 year old daughter where's that outfit personally I like looking at those young boobies. Would I let my daughter wear that at 15, no. Funny thing is if you have been a good parent to this point it most likely would never come up.

My wife would make that dress look good! Now if you want her to wear it to bed for you, it will cost you... :evil: Ouch, she just hit me, women have no sense of humor at times... :shrug:

I noticed.

There is absolutly no way in the world I'd let one of muy daughters wear that ANYWHERE. The dress better than that to go to bed.

Ironic.

Considering that the one actual purpose of that dress is to "go to bed".

Holicious.

Anyone else cringe at the thought of Dense piping in this thread at any moment?

****er!

Don't make me ban you.

NO!

Hell no!

ROFL

absolutely not!!!! Why would you ask such a crazy question?

Because that's what some girls are purchasing to go to the prom.

Does it come with a condom attached to it anywhere? :hmmm:

Don't worry about that, I'll bring a twelve pack.

ROFL well in that case, Hell yea wear it baby. :thumb:

OMG that's funny!

If your daughter wants to wear this to prom, you've failed in at least one aspect of being a parent.

I think she's got the dress on backwards.

I can see prom night now:
Boy: "I'm here to pick up Suzy for the prom."
Dad: "She's wearing a dress where you can see almost all her boobs."
Boy: "Uh......really?"
Dad: "Really."
Boy: "Um.....ah.....uh....Okay."
Dad: "I've been to jail before. I'm not afraid to go back."
Boy: "Maybe Suzy should change..."
Dad: "Good idea."

Sure, if I really don't mind raising a bastard grandchild.
