are the girls still only wearing the micro slip dresses to homecoming this year?

[Anonymous]

I'm really hoping they're on their way out.
My junior asked me to start looking online for dress ideas for homecoming as she's swamped with homework. There are so many pretty dresses but in the past 2 years all the girls are wearing are the micro slip dresses or body con dresses--pretty much the most boring dresses you can buy.

Is that anyone is wearing this year as well? I'm hoping kids will branch out a bit.

They aren't wearing it for you.

Hate those dresses - not age appropriate imo.

Part of me thinks that but then I remember I am now a middle age mom. I remember my parents telling me my outfit wasn’t appropriate as a teen.

My daughter has a standard uniform Windsor micro mini dress. The only variation between girls seems to be the color and if they are wearing shoes or sneakers.

We, the good girls, agreed with your mother. My brothers(the cool and the quiet) and their friends “said many things” about you. My 13yo DS says that girls like your DD don’t respect themselves(no, we’re not religious).

This isn't something to be proud of. I'd be lived if my son said something like this because of how someone dressed.

Ugh!
My DD is not into dressing up yet so I'm not feeling judged.

But your family sounds awful. I can see you inherited you shaming attitudes from your parents.

What seems to be the trend on this? My DD is not a heels girl (walks like a baby giraffe in them, prefers her "dress sneakers") but it seems like most of the Hoco pics I've seen this year have the girls wearing strappy heels?

I was a very conservative dresser as a teen, but this is just stupidly mean. There are no "good" and "bad" girls. Way to reinforce all kinds of extremely damaging stereotypes! My teen DD doesn't like to show skin either, but she's wiser than you, a middle-aged woman. She knows many kind and intelligent girls who show a lot of skin. These girls are not necessarily more promiscuous than others. Most of them don't dress for the boys, they dress to belong in certain girl circles. And while I'm sure some boys get all the wrong opinions like you, my teen son and his friends don't think better or worse of these girls. They just get really shy around them

Oof, that is a troubling comment, especially paired with your use of "good girls." I hope your family digs into this and explores what it means to think someone does or doesn't respect themselves -or others.

Lol at “the good girls” and the endorsement of saying nasty things about classmates.

The heels are just for the photos, and then they change into the sneakers.

I really miss Payless for stuff like this.
