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.

As many as the lady requires.
Set your goals high, and the men will achieve them, if humanly possible.
You too!?
Thanks. Very blessed to read your reply.
lol - you know someone who has it tho - lol
For the kind of money that dress is fetching, I just designed one of my own. It's just a coincidence that it looks like a rubber band. Those interested you can get it for the incredible price of $400! Limited edition! Call now!
Any daughter of mine would find it exceedingly difficult to wear such a dress AFTER I SET IT ON FIRE WITH MY ZIPPO LIGHTER!
Not while she's living under MY roof!
GRRRR.
Do you remember the Sweeney sisters from Saturday Night Live...the pink/silver sequin dresses were sortof cut like those dresses. And our ushers wore grey tuxedos...we looked like a bad Vegas lounge act.
For the Prom, women dress to impress other women. The men could not care less how fancy the dress is.
Few and far between, unfortunately.
Never mind whether I would let my daughter wear this dress ( I wouldn't ) - my daughter would never wear it anyway !! She would pronounce this as something a slut would wear - she has too much self-confidence to ever be seen in something like this. Besides, she likes looking like a princess, not a streetwalker !!
ALL GONE...lol
It would seem "X" marks the spot!!
I have a daughter.. the answer would be.. has hell frozen over yet? Good, because that is when you are going to walk INTO this house with somthing like that, let alone walk out of wearing. heh.
good grief
My daughter at her prom.
I thought this was the 1997 Clinton Inaugural Dress
If she's wearin' clothes like that, you got three guesses as to where she's getting the rent money.
And the first two don't count.
The "rainow" worn by which member of the two-girl gay pride sextion?
