Sheath dresses can only be worn to good effect by a girl with a boyish figure.
Something by Worth would be nice . . .
As a young lady not yet "out", she ought to stick to pastels anyhow.

I saw the dress on TV and it looked great! It showed a lot of imagination and class!
A lovely girl and a spectacular dress! This is the type (style) teenagers are wearing to their proms now...many are black! At any rate, I do like hers...she showed great creativity in designing it. That many sequins must have taken a long time to sew on. Maybe some famous designer will hire her; I think she shows promise.
She's probably a reasonably-sized girl; the camera DOES add pounds, and besides, we're all so used to the size 0's and 2's on TV that normal sized kids look a little hefty.
Some schools allow boys to show up in a dress (cross dressers must be tolerated), but a good looking blonde in a dress with a Confederate flag pattern is verboten. What chicanery, what skullduggery!!!
A BOY that was in my Daughter's senior class wore DRESS to their Senior Prom and he got kicked out.
As far as I know he Took it like a Man and Did Not file a frivolous lawsuit like this girl has.
O boy. What a wacked response that is.

It's an ugly dress, but damn, no need to ban her for it.
Refresh my memory cause I've missed the part of History where his ancestors DIED defending his dress/shorts. Like it or not this Flag is a part of our History and we have the RIGHT to display, wear and Honor the flag of our Southern lands. We didn't like being bullied and pushed around then and we sure as he!! don't like it now.
bump for later read
Howard, the principal, and two police officers met her outside the school, according to the lawsuit.

I'm thinking of chickens...and salad.
Nothing frivolous about rights and freedoms.
Thanks for the link...appreciate it!
This young lady is to be congratulated for her courage in standing up for her Constitutional rights and honoring her ancestors.
I'd think this would be a major consideration. If the school didn't eject students from attending school with confederate flags or symbols, then they don't really have any grounds to eject this girl from the prom.
"I saw it in the window and just couldn't resist!"
After seeing the pic of her dress I have to say that I think she was looking for a fight. Espeically given her actions before the prom too.
I think the shcool was wrong to make this big a fuss, but she also was asking for trouble and she got it.
I don't think her dress is wrong, offensive, or (particularly) immodest, although I would expect my daughters to wear something with more top :-). I just think a different style would flatter her more.
If nothing else, the school officials have got lots of bad publicity on their hands ... look like idiots.
I'm sorry the link on your Worth picture didn't work ... I love those gowns!
