What the...?????!!!!!

So as I'm surfing around the web today - Y! comes up with prom dresses as a big search for today. My curiousity (and my love of things fancy and shiny) got the best of me. I was SHOCKED! These are HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS you are peddling these....





yes, THESE! dresses to. As a mother of a high school aged boy, this concerns me - GREATLY!!!!!!!!!!!! What the hell is going on? Am I old and prudish? No one dressed like this at our prom (yes, I know it was MANY years ago, but...).
I am just, just, shocked, I guess! What happened to the pretty, covering a lot of you but still elegant dresses?????
Oh my god - I AM old!

  1. OK as another mother of a high school boy I would pass out if Jordan's prom date came to the door wearing anything close to those and I am as far from a prude as you can get but OMGosh that is just way over the top for high school girls!!!

  5. You are not old and those dress are outrageous! Elegance is Katherine Hepburn or Audrey Hepburn. My niece was in the Homecoming court last week and she was dressed...well we won't go there. My mother said the most beautiful girl she saw was wearing an dress that covered it all, was elegant, and the girl was poised. That's true beauty. The industry is just crazy.

  6. my daugher would not be caught where one of those as long as she lives in my house and if my son ever brought home a date wearing one...not sure he would get to go out with her. I think parents need to take hold of the reins.

  7. I went online and found some prom dress sites. It is amazing how few modest dresses there are. What ever happened to Jessica McClintock and Gunnie Sax? Okay, maybe we don't have to go that far, but some of the dresses were actually categorized as 'sexy'.

    They remind me of something you would see on Vh1 "Rock of Love" Just kind of trashy to me and not really appropriate for anyone to wear let alone a teenager. Scary!
