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.

This. So young yet so sexust and ignorant.

Are you saying your daughter has confidence issues? I am glad you admitted that. In that case, I agree she should not wear a little mini dress!! Many of our daughters feel confident and comfortable wearing short homecoming dresses.

I live in a warm climate and kids wear shorts, tank tops, halters all the time. Plus, bathing suits and bikinis the whole summer. There is not the sense one should cover up her body. Perhaps it’s cultural, I don’t know, but please don’t extract your situation and apply it to others.

Your DD can wear whatever she likes. What most PPs are saying is that we are all judged for what we wear and teen girls are no exception. I see a teen girl dressed per your description and I usually think that they are vapid and don't have much to offer. In my experience, that has not been far off the mark and I've told my DD that you can usually tell which girls have something to offer and those that don't. If you're wrapped up in selling yourself as a sexual object don't be surprised when you are not viewed as anything else. The idea is to try to instill a greater sense of self worth for young girls and promote the idea that they have a purpose beyond male attention seeking. No one has said to cover your entire body. We're not pushing burkas. But the masses seem to think that the Kim Kardashians of this world are a great role model for girls and that's precisely the issue. Girls (and their mothers) support the notion that women have no place in this world unless you've sold yourself half naked. Shame.

Interesting - saw quite a few sequins on friends' daughters in the Midwest this year but not locally in MoCo.

Sequins were in this year

Northwood’s theme was Vegas. Plenty of sequins.

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.

All this. My senior girl dresses modestly for religious reasons, but doesn’t shame anyone for dressing differently. It’s a personal choice.

These aren't preteens.
Nice how you slipped that word in. Accuracy isn't your strong suit.

Got it. Pimping out girls as young teens is totally fine.

How exactly are they being pimped out?

This is a hilarious conversation to me. I’m a conservative (generally), have a 14 year old daughter, and think the people in this thread attempting to body shame teenagers are disgusting. For God’s sake, they are young and figuring things out. Let them be. If they want to wear a short dress, let them. I’ll let my daughter wear what she wants. If it’s short enough that she needs biker shorts, then I’ll suggest them. I wish I had her confidence at her age. She has the right to wear whatever she wants to (it’s still America!)

What do you think is appropriate for homecoming? Show us what you deem acceptable.

FFS, why do some of you care so much about what my kid is wearing? If it doesn’t bother me, it shouldn’t bother you. She’s wearing what she likes and it’s not like she’s naked. Un-clutch the damn pearls, people.

I know the girls in our high school do not wear cheap dresses like Windsor to events. They wear Zimmerman, Alice and Olivia, Self Portrait, any of the new designers. They will have cut outs and will be short but don’t look as cheap as the literally cheap Chinese dresses.

I am always surprised about the lack of taste.

We got my daughter’s HoCo dress at Windsor. She looks great in it and she loves it!

1. They are in high school so not pre-teens

2. Are you really saying young woman who wear micro dresses to hoco are prostitutes or sluts? You are raising your own kids to believe this sexist, shallow, and superficial theory but yet you think you are a good parent? Ouch

3. Most teens with strict parents rebel. As a HS teacher girls change clothes in school and dances all the time.
