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.

That's unfair... Uh, no. We're talking about a moral issue here, not some grocery store product.

I wore this to my prom. When I went to my date's home his mother expressed dismay that I was showing too much skin.

It's hideous. At first glance, it's like she has it on backwards, but, no... Next year? A couple of Janet Jackson sparkly pasties and a see through mini. Ugh.

Better question...
Do the schools have the 'guts' to maintain higher standards and insist on a dress code for prom...(or any other time for that matter)...
Sure, some parents will let their daughters dress like this, because they are afraid to say No!

Any girl considering wearing that dress should be forced to wear this instead.

Very functional dress...on many levels. Heck, you can even get that prom remembrance tattoo on your breast without even removing it.

Because where I currently am staying has no cable (TheHorror!) and the only station that come in semi-clear is NBC, I saw a segement about this this morning.
Not only are those dresses slutty looking, they are butt ugly!
Also, the man that designed these dresses has a 15 yo daughter. He said he would not allow her to wear one of his dresses.
