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


Who said anything about trick or treating? Halloween parties exist and it’s very common in high school.


Also, no one is too old for ToT.

This is not true.

Also, I would feel way better about my 15 year old wearing that costume to a party as opposed to walking the streets wearing it.

Hahaha. That's longer than most girls are wearing to prom right now, or even mini skirts in the 1960s.

That costume shows a lot less than the super tight short dresses OP.


Not really. Were you born in the 80s?

PPP is referring to the wrong decade

The 70s had even shorter mini skirts than the 60s

NP. +1
That pic is total *shrug* for a 15 yr old Halloween costume.

Thanks to the person posting photos. I would not be comfortable with most of those for most scenarios, sorry.

What are the girls doing? Party? Trick or treating? Wearing to school?

I have never seen a cheerleader in pantyhose.

This was my thought as well. It actually seems less skimpy, tight, and revealing as almost HoCob dresses.

The idea of dressing up all the same like a matching set of dolls makes me more skeeved out than the corset.

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

It is young to start the slutty costume thing. At 15 we were still dressing like hobos for Halloween, or whatever we could throw together with the stuff at home (bloody face, sports player, zombie, etc)
