[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Help please! I don't mind my daughter wearing a tight, short dress, but I also don't want her to look like she's working the streets. Any tips on where to buy an appropriate and "not old lady" dress?[/quote]

Welcome. You must be new here. Please allow me to apologize in advance bc you’re about to get flamed for daring to insinuate what you just  insinuated. Just because retailers‘ homecoming dress inventory looks EXACTLY like what a girl in the 80s-mid 90s would have worn to an ill-advised “hookers and pimps”-themed college costume party doesn’t mean you’re allowed to point that out. Don’t believe your lying eyes. Nothing to see here. You’re just supposed to allow your daughter to wear these dresses as if it’s totally normal and fine. #progress
Also don’t sexualize young girls.
But let’s absolutely make sure they look as sexualized as possible. 
Except don’t point that out, you creeper!

No wonder these poor girls are confused.

Having modesty standards is no longer in vogue.[/quote]

It’s more about not imposing those modesty standards onto others.

Obviously you can decide what rules to set for your children. What’s “progress” is being honest and accountable in articulating our rationale for those standards. [/quote]

You are imposing your standards as well. Everyone is attacking OP as if something is wrong with her asking. She and presumably her daughter want something more modest. So how about we point her in the right direction instead of attacking her? OP it’s very simple. The more expensive the store, the more covered up the dresses will be. If you are on a budget try Saks Off Fifth or Nordstrom Rack. Lots of cute dresses that don’t scream old lady.[/quote]
