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.

Okay, first of all I am a bad evil horrible man for the thoughts in my head two seconds after seeing this. Second of all no way in he(ck) either one of my kids would EVER leave my home dressed like this.
The wrist corsage was just the right touch..but the necklace is a bit over the top... *
Almost blew my spleen on that.
on the seies note however, how many libs are giving the okay to their daughters to 'give it up' for the prom night tradition?
Ive only got boys, but if their prom date was in that, Id be worryin bout the little head making decisions for the other one...
BTW, almost forgot, Thank You for you service !
Not so lot's of guys respect women. Some women give everything away to anyone. If someone doesn't respect themselves the best I can do is pity.

I 'd like to know where the courage of the stores is. Why not just say "NO I won't sell a dress that's gonna make a teenage look like a prostitute at her high school prom", then take out an ad in the paper and tell their customers the same thing! I guaran-damn-tee you, they'll make more money on future sales than they would have on that piece of trash.
See if your town has a 'party wear' store or a store catering to dance students. You could always try ebay. My daughter found a pair of long black gloves for a Cos Play at an Anime convention.
Easy, through the nipple piercings.
My gawd, where did that (preggo dress) come from? It's not a joke?
I guess you hang the corsage from your nipple ring?
If I ever saw my daughter wearing that dress, she's be sequestered for a month.
BTW, how old are you?
I'm not sure if that dress is related to his phenomenon.
Forty four, but I don't look a day over 37, whatever that means....
That's unfair - lots of businesses sell products that their families don't personally use. If a grocery store only sold products that the CEO's daughter would use, then it would go out of business. Same with a pharmacy or a movie theater
In the article the CEO states that its one of their 20 most popular dresses.
Not only would I NOT ALLOW my daughter wear this dress, I would NOT ALLOW my son to take any girl wearing this dress, to any prom. There I said the words they don't like us to say about our own children...NOW ALLOW.
oh that's just nasty
