[quote=pbraverman][quote=Anonymous]If it's at a more traditional, but not religious school. How short can her dress be? Jeans are a no, right? She's applying for 10th grade.[/quote]

This is straightforward: She should wear clothing consistent with that of the girls in ninth grade at the school. If the school has a dress code, it is likely posted on their Web site, perhaps in a downloadable community handbook. If there are uniforms, she should wear something that matches their formality (such as for skirt length, for example). There's no need to try to match the uniform; that will seem a little "tryhard." However, I don't think it's a good idea to push the limits of a school's dress code before enrolling. After that, all bets are off!  :P

Good luck!
