15yo and Corset costume - I’m the only parent pushing back. Am I being unreasonable ?

[Anonymous]

You are overreacting. My 15 yo is skinny and a C cup. I dress modestly and we constantly have battles about her clothes because she loves strapless tops and clothes I think are too revealing.

I don’t have any issue with those costumes. I see girls wearing worse at the bus stop.

I've always been a more modest dresser, and I do pearl clutch a bit over HoCo dresses, but I think those are fine for Halloween costumes.

Maybe encourage tights or a cape or something if it's a chilly night. But she probably won't want to, lol.

Sadly, we are raising the most overly sexualized generation of girls in modern histiry thanks to marketing and social media. Unless parents, mostly mom, push back, the psycholohical damage of this attention seeking behavior will be hard to recover from.

I underyltand thr desire to pick you battles but doesn't your daughter deserve someone that will go to battle gor them?

The homecoming dresses would be scanddelous on an Atlantic City cocktail waitress, do we need that for Halloween too?

I think this is fine for. Halloween costume, much more so than wearing something like this to a dance.

If you give in make sure you supervise closely because it could get ugly.

They are likely imitating the musical "Once Upon a One More Time" featuring the music of Brittany Spears, where the princesses rewrite their stories.

I'm uptight and conservative when it comes to clothes and would also be okay with that picture. With sneakers and those length skirts? Sure - it's Halloween. Every girl goes through a slutty costume phase.

But this doesn't even look slutty.

If that's slutty to you you have different problems to work through.

I mean, it looks super trashy but I guess I’d let her wear it just to give her something to look back on and cringe.

Requiring modesty is problematic but punishing your daughter with an essay for how she chooses to dress isn’t worse?

It’s not punishment, lol.

It looks fetching. Is that the look that you want her to portray?
