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.

Not only no, but HECK NO!
LOL! The thread still lives!
LOL even with the correct picture it's still too skimpy for high school.
wow... There sure are a lot of parents with young sluts around these days.
I dislike ball of any stripe, base, foot, soccer, tennis, golf, basket, you name it. The kids at school are conscripted into these cheerleading teams and "dance" teams and athletic teams so the old men in the crowd can watch the little girls jocking around in skimpy outfits and the cheerleaders and dance teams gyrating their pelvises. Oh, and I forgot the majorettes. Even 40 yrs. ago, I distinctly remember one majorette (the uniforms were very short and skimpy even in winter) whose nose stayed red and runny all the time from spending hours out in freezing weather "performing" for the gentlemen in the crowd. (It sure wasn't for us girls.) We know girls on soccer and basketball teams who dress all the time like mock boys, stand like boys, walk and talk like boys. All this yak about sports being "so good" for kids is a lot of hooey in my opinion. My experience of sports was not being a natural athlete, but worked at it, then treated miserably by the smartaleck coach for my trouble. He was too busy dating the little girls to think about what he was doing. I can honestly say, it was not fun. He was definitely getting a charge of watching them bounce around in their skimpy uniforms like a bunch of charging bulls. True, kids are obese and need exercise. Fun stuff to do where everyone has a chance to play and move around, in decent and comfortable uniforms. I am SO glad I am no longer in school of any stripe. The rah rah sis boom bah crap is not for me at any rate, and wish my parents had just told me, "We ARE NOT going to wait on your PEP BUS to get back from some ballgame or the other for a half an hour once or twice every week! We worked hard this week, and we want to get in bed before midnight! Forget this "sports crap"!" But, they didn't, and I never made it to the pros.
NO WAY ! ! !
Jeez. Why the heck would anyone wanna wear that? I'm 17 and wouldn't wear that unless I was paid a few million dollars. Okay, maybe a few hundred thousand. And that's just to put the thing on, wear it, and put a jacket on over it. Bleck. last thing I need to see on prom night this year is a horde of giggling 15 and 16 year olds running around with undeveloped bodies and accidentally flashing me while I'm trying to have a good time.
It goes up to size 22. SIZE 22!
and this is how you looked in it?
Yes, I also have a bridge in NY to sell you.
OEG was great....we went there with 4 other "couples" (we were all friends/no one was dating). So, it was even more fun with no pressure.
I went back home to visit 2 years ago & took my man there for oyster hapy hour. YUMMY!!!
Size 22. Does the designer have brain damage or something???
I believe you are correct but it doesn't seem to much different either way
No,but i'm sure it will show up on a Kerry girl in a club on a Friday night!
Ding-Ding-Ding......WINNER!!
Maybe not but I'm going to need more pictures to decide. Over 18 only though, okay?
