Re: Class of 2021: Prom Dresses

OK now I know I'm old.  I don't think any should be worn by a high school girl. To me these are dresses for a Miss America pageant.  Is this really what young girls are wearing now???????

Yes it's what they are wearing. Do some people here think they should wear turtlenecks?

@Greeneyedlady21    There is a middle ground between a turtleneck and that red form fitting slinky number.

Teens have been wearing low-cut dresses to prom since I went in 1978 and 1979. I am sure it was nothing new at that time. Some people may not like it but it is acceptable for this special event at many schools.

 

Prom 1978-No, this is not me.

I've seen beautiful dresses that are also modest, but they are few and far between now.  I wish designers and retailers would offer a choice.  Not everyone wants to bare it all, and in my opinion, teens are too young to be dressing that way.

@Greeneyedlady21 Oh for pete's sake. I have a GD in her 20's, she's beautiful with a nice figure and no way would she have been allowed to wear a revealing dress. 

 

Plus she was raised with good taste, thanks to her mother and father.

 

That turleneck comment was ridiculous.

@Iwantcoffee There are many dresses that show a little cleavage and that's fine. I don't think it's appropriate for a **teenager** to have half-bare breasts for a dressy occasion.

 

And not ALL young girls wear those dresses, as I know from what I've seen.

I don’t see anything wrong with those dresses.
