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.

Honestly, I would be embarrassed. I would insist that she change and if she didn't, I wouldn't take her.
I'm not going to email anyone. Anyone who needs emailing about this dress is too far gone for me to influence, am I right?
Wow, since when does prom take place on a streetcorner in West Hollywood?
"Next question for guys. How many wish their prom date wore this dress? "
Heck, I wish that cutie had been my prom date!!!
If my date had worn that, we'd have never made it to the prom, folks!
All dresses look the same on the floor in the dark.
Yes......I second that.
Some public schools still have regs about what can be worn to school functions. Prom is still a school function. I can't imagine our local high schools allowing this.

ROFLMAO!
I could make about six jokes out of your statement but I'll be nice and drop it. LOL
Technecally, everything is properly covered and this is a legal dress.
As one Freeper perfectly said:
"I would not recommend it."
My daughter has been told, no dating before she's married.

well, it was just sort of a fun thing to do and we can't toilet paper his house or make phone calls to him. And I can't sleep. And I just am stirring up trouble.
You won't let your daughter wear it but you're more than happy to sell it to other fathers' daughters.
Pig.
The police wouldn't allow that dress on the hookers on Sunset Blvd...
