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.

Bumps.
My Dad always said, "no dates 'till you're 35." I was married at 23. Imagine my hubby's reaction 12 years later when I informed him of my Father's permission to start dating -LOL!
As for the subject at hand... just showed my freshman daughter and her girlfriend the pic and their reaction (thankfully) was a predictable, "EWWWWWWWWW!"
A gownless evening strap.
heck. beat me to (absolutely NO pun intended) it by seconds.

This can't be real. Besides, where would you put the corsage?
I never wore that to my prom. Mine was white with a tight feather bodice & full skirt. I thought I looked very fancy, but it so tacky. I laugh at the photos now....it was the 80's....so you know the hair was BIG.
Poor Vlaz,,he is gonna take major heat at school and I don't mean the good kind of heat.
It'd certainly take some creativity...
Must be a Prom dress worn at Hoe High.
Ok, so I'm 17 again, I would LOVE to have my date have that dress. That gives me some "score power" of course the girl becomes instant slut, I become instant dog and that's that. The reality is, The girl is now an outcast, the guy is just lucky. As a father, I'd be appalled, indignant and quite unhappy that my brood would wear something so appaling
Actually, Vivian, there are a *few* things that could be done in that dress... *cough*
As a mom, it is not the placement of the corsage that causes me alarm...
Over My Dead Body!
It wouldn't be a prom dress if it weren't tacky :)
Yeah, especially since the model isn't particularly beautiful.
...and under her overalls.
