You clearly haven’t seen some of these dresses irl

Might as well wear the short dresses while you can! Most girls wear bike shorts under them anyhow.

I don't have any issue with them -- they cover up way more than the bikinis that were on display throughout the summer. Have you guys been on college campuses recently and seen what girls are wearing to their classes? It looks really uncomfortable to me, but whatever. The amount of skin truly doesn't bother me (and it is certainly appreciated by my sons). Don't we all like to look at pretty things? (Or silently judge those who don't pull it off?)

DH went to a visit a friend who has a teen daughter. She is quite busty and was wearing a tube top. When he came by, she was constantly lifting up her tube top, and it was clear she was not comfortable wearing it. He kept thinking, "why are you wearing that ? You look so uncomfortable". And before you call him a perv, no, he thought she was ridiculous. He has no problem with nudity in general, but clearly she was not comfortable wearing that.

But why do you guys care if she was uncomfortable? Women have been uncomfortable in the name of fashion for centuries -- stilettos, corsets, headdresses, etc. (And why in the world would I call him a perv? That seems a strange reaction as well.)

When someone is constantly grabbing at a tube top and adjusting their breasts, it is poor manners and distracting. Don’t wear underwear that you feel compelled to pick out of crack in public either. Same thing

I'm sure your one of those who is always adjusting your frumpy tops due to your muffin tops. Get over it.

An interesting turn this thread has taken is the people who claim to be defending these young women to wear what they want in peace by making aggressively misogynistic and body-shaming comments about older women.

There's a PhD thesis in these comments.

I’m 51 and defending them. I don’t care what you wear. I do care you are equating athletes, honor roll students, good kids, to hookers bc they wear a short dress. I have a big problem with that, actually.

Would it be okay to equate C students who don’t participate in extra curricular activities and possibly go to parties at which there is underage drinking to hookers?

And nobody has said the the girls are hookers. But they’re dressing like absolute trash and their moms are egging them on for some completely baffling reason.

Dave Chappelle explained this “uniform” years ago…

To clarify, I think all of you frigid B’s who get bent out of shape over good looking and young women wearing short dresses and who are calling them prostitutes (oh sorry, LOOKING like prostitutes, as if that makes you any less uglier) the only trash on this Board.

You also have serious hang ups with sexuality. Yours and, weirdly, other peoples. And you’re beyond strange bc of it.

A 14 yr old doesn't need to be dressing like a prostitute, and it's weird that parents are ok with that.

It's because they like it. How gross is that? They like it....

^^^ I think this is one of the trolls that keeps posting over and over and over and over again. I wish I knew more about their lives -- I'm kind of curious about what makes them behave this way.

No doubt a 50 year old man posting this.

Acting like this is your daughters somehow showing agency and having body positivity is just dumb. They are sheep.

Bullshit. It's "body positivity" to be peer pressured into dressing like a street whore? Actually the opposite. A cute teen girl who dresses modestly is the most body positive and confident of them all.

The moms who encourage their daughters to wear these skanky dresses are insane.

Hint: it’s all men and boys posting

Nah. My teen went to Hoco in a vintage black dress that went to her knees and had capped sleeves with roses on it, fishnets and knee high Docs with the roses on it. She had makeup art and long tousled hair. She did stand out but also had a great time and was accepted just fine. She is apart of a tight knit group of girls but is not the most popular “it crowd” who wore the postage stamp dresses. Challenge your daughters to take a chance, be themselves and do what they want with no regrets.

We can debate pretty privilege and the invisibility of older/ overweight women for hours but it won’t change the reality of both of those things.

Your post demonstrates our current emperor has no clothes, narcissistic society.

Everyone wants to do whatever they want whenever they want while simultaneously dictating to everyone else what they should think about it. If your thoughts don’t match the narrative, no matter how insane or wrong that narrative is, then obviously you’re the problem.

(In your example, some girls want to dress like prostitutes without anyone thinking they are dressed like prostitutes.)

I think you might be the one struggling with reality.

I think you have the mental issues, PP.

Not the teens.

If you have to wear shorts under your dress, that should tell you something. That something being your skirt should either be a skort or a tad bit longer.

They were super short. They are constantly having to pull the skirt down.

The ones I saw were not only short, but it was so low cut that they were almost popping out of the dress.

Sorry, but they look like street walkers. I refuse to let DD wear such dresses. And she always bike shorts underneath her dress.

Haha…good luck when she gets older.

As far as the dress goes anything she feels comfortable in is ok with me. Work it while you can baby! Before you end up like some of these miserable moms on this board.

This is the problem parent. Imagine thinking a "mouth" is just part of being a teen and "working it" is normal. Sad.

You must not be a girl mm parent or if you are your kids are too young or old. Shame on you for shaming other parents. You do you w your high and mighty

You can’t spell HoCo without the “Ho”.
