Someone mentioned it is no worse than a swim suit. I can't believe how little "decent" girls wear these days. But, I guess from a practical point of view ... if it's okay in the pool/beach why is it not okay at the prom.
Would I allow my daughter? NOT if I could help it. But, I think some of you guys are just talking big talk. The real question ought to be ... in this day and age how do you prevent your daughter from wearing it if she so desires?????

Actually, on the swimsuit bit. First off, granted I'm not in as many locations to see such things, but I haven't seen swimsuits quite like that. Second of all, Proms are supposed to be formal affairs, I have difficulty thinking that something that revealing would be acceptable in a formal setting.
As for allowing the daughter to wear/preventing her from wearing it. First, prevention starts when they are young. My 12 year old already has a modest mindset and will make comments of dissaproval as to how other girls her age dress. Secondly, if I'm buying a dress that costs several hundred and upward, if I don't like it, I'm not paying for it.
