12795003, Is this prom dress too revealing? Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 05:36 PM https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11164618_10202731264922154_2182021192869275336_n.jpg?oh=5966fa1d0d7c039fd18341afab6182d9&oe=55C5EAE8 https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/p720x720/11182206_10202731309683273_1322288749936981182_n.jpg?oh=433ba92fde645dc566427b47c7a0a3c6&oe=55D75313 https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11180328_10202731309723274_4961447074584490043_n.jpg?oh=ece305ec5a1d8dedfa2a371989c09920&oe=55D13305 http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/fashion/68186634/18yearold-kicked-out-of-prom-for-toorevealing-dress 18-year-old kicked out of prom for too-revealing dress Mireya Briceno, 18, was kicked out of her senior prom last Friday. Why? Well supposedly her gorgeous retro-style blue gown violated her school's "dress code". Her mum Connie Briceno isn't happy about it and wants an explanation from Muskegon High School in Michigan (the school of over 1,000 students has yet to comment). "The guidelines specifically said backless dresses are acceptable," she told Yahoo Parenting. "The rules stated the dress needed to adhere to the 'fingertip rule' – meaning the dress had to hit below your fingertip when standing with her arms by your side. They also said no midriff showing, which to me means stomach. And they said the words, 'Backless dresses are acceptable'." Mum Connie helped Mireya pick out the stunning stand-out dress. "We looked at the rules, and we picked the dress together," she says. "I thought she looked beautiful." Connie goes on to explain that Mireya got into prom no problem, but that after an hour or so "the vice principal approached her and asked her to stand up. After she stood up, she was asked to turn around, and when she did the vice principal just said, 'You have to leave, you're in dress code violation.' The dress code. "Other girls were wearing similar style dresses, like dresses with cutouts, and dresses with sheer lining on the midriff," Connie says. "Why were they allowed to stay and my daughter wasn't?" Mireya phoned her mum, crying, from the parking lot. Although, at least Mireya will get to go to her boyfriend Dereko's prom (who wore a blue bow tie last Friday to match with her dress) next weekend. We think she should wear the gorgeous polka dot dress again (it's certainly a great deal classier and more timeless than anything we ever rustled up for a school ball).
12795005, No. Posted by SoWhat, Thu Apr-30-15 05:40 PM That's b/s.
12795011, At what point does a backless dress cease to just be backless? Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 05:49 PM Rules say no mid-drift. If the school is going to try to cop pleas, I'm guessing that's how they'll attack it. At some point if you keep removing the back to that dress it's going to show mid-drift at the front. Where would you put the dividing line?
12795024, Midriff. Posted by AnaStezia, Thu Apr-30-15 06:00 PM
12795035, The school notice says "mid-drifts" Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 06:09 PM I was just quoting, but thanks for taking the time. I probably don't get enough critique of my spelling and grammar. janey helps out sometimes.
12795026, The school shouldve written a more clear rule. Posted by SoWhat, Thu Apr-30-15 06:00 PM Hopefully the boyfriend's school admins won't trip like that.
12795038, Agreed Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 06:14 PM >Hopefully the boyfriend's school admins won't trip like >that. But counsellor, at what point does back become midriff?
12795054, lol Posted by SoWhat, Thu Apr-30-15 06:42 PM at the front?
12795007, Not even a little bit Posted by -DJ R-Tistic-, Thu Apr-30-15 05:46 PM
12795015, it's a little much but i've seen WAY worse Posted by GirlChild, Thu Apr-30-15 05:53 PM that's tame by this generations' standards
12795018, I'm inclined to believe their claim that there were worse dresses there Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 05:54 PM In the sense that they violated the rules more than this one did.
12795021, i wouldnt doubt it Posted by GirlChild, Thu Apr-30-15 05:57 PM i've seen prom dresses that look like glittered band-aids some of these girls are too fast i don't know that i would let my daughter wear that dress but i don't think it's terrible.
12795029, No but a bit too sexy for school imho Posted by Atillah Moor, Thu Apr-30-15 06:04 PM Especially in Michigan.
12795037, not in the least bit. thats a beautiful dress Posted by akon, Thu Apr-30-15 06:14 PM
12795042, Before I saw pictures I thought maybe they'd tried to rort the rules Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 06:18 PM But yeah. Her and her mother probably put a lot of work into choosing that while keeping an eye on the rules. Like SoWhat said, b/s.
12795092, ^^ Posted by lfresh, Thu Apr-30-15 08:06 PM Thought it was kinda nice twist on vintage ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.
12795047, only problem is her BFs skin color Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Apr-30-15 06:29 PM she is a pretty girl and I bet some of the teachers were mad as shit when she showed up with ole boy.
12795066, I wondered if that might be the case. Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 07:00 PM
12795127, thought the same thing when I saw them dreads Posted by Cenario, Thu Apr-30-15 09:27 PM
12795183, RE: only problem is her BFs skin color Posted by Birdzeye, Fri May-01-15 02:41 AM Yup.. That's exactly what I thought once I saw that pic.. Probably the most attractive girl in the year and she goes to prom with a black guy with dreads. That was her real offence!
12795052, 18 years old...jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez Posted by double negative, Thu Apr-30-15 06:38 PM
12795053, nah... not at all Posted by bonitaapplebaum71481, Thu Apr-30-15 06:40 PM mad cute and honestly I have seen worst dresses.... before I saw the pics, I was worried it was gonna be a plunging neckline like this dress: http://cdn2.thegloss.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Ariel-Winter-Prom-Dad.jpg http://images.twistmagazine.com/uploads/images/file/15916/ariel-winter-prom.jpg?fit=crop&h=500&w=500 and this dress isn't even that crazy but still far more risque than the current dress in question school's a hater....

12795071, Wow the dorky sister from modern family is hotter than Sofia vergara Posted by ndibs, Thu Apr-30-15 07:08 PM Ayiyyiyi!
12795075, hah Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 07:13 PM I was watching an episode with Mrs Seal and she blurted "When did she get boobs?!"

12795105, lol ditto. last season it was like the girl on the first day of school Posted by KosherSam, Thu Apr-30-15 08:24 PM that became a DD over the summer. Oh hey, Chris, I see you've got my seat warmed up. Thanks! Want a wine cooler?
12795416, we thought she was pregnant at first.. Posted by legsdiamond, Fri May-01-15 11:29 AM but then we realized she got them thangs.
12795061, The side of her boob is showing. Posted by ndibs, Thu Apr-30-15 06:51 PM It's more than backless it's side less.
12795073, Is that too revealing for you? Are you anti-sides? Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 07:09 PM >It's more than backless it's side less. School policy doesn't say anything about sides.
12795078, Idc. Most retro look dresses are trash. Posted by ndibs, Thu Apr-30-15 07:20 PM This is no exception. There are a million ways to make a dress sexy besides showing off your side boob. But to be a teen is to have poor taste. If it was that important she should have put on a tank top under and went back. Like I really dc about her right to show off her side boob.
12795080, how is the side boob being shown off? Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 07:28 PM
12795083, stands in this line. im curious too Posted by akon, Thu Apr-30-15 07:33 PM and is the other side boob jealous?
12795097, Look. If she wore a bra, the cups would be showing. Posted by ndibs, Thu Apr-30-15 08:14 PM https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/s720x720/11180328_10202731309723274_4961447074584490043_n.jpg?oh=ece305ec5a1d8dedfa2a371989c09920&oe=55D13305 On the side. There's underboob shadow. She's showing more than armpit. And who knows what happens when she raises her arms further. When they're down, there's no issue.
12795102, I'd define side boob as actual cup starting to be seen, if anything... Posted by bonitaapplebaum71481, Thu Apr-30-15 08:20 PM that's just torso "i wanna hug all u idiotic bastards & then set you all on fire" -Bin www.twitter.com/bedstuybetty http://bedstuybetty.tumblr.com/ DROkayplayer: Giving you good puff since May '05
12795103, If she was wearing a bra cups would be seen. Posted by ndibs, Thu Apr-30-15 08:22 PM That's definitely side boob
12795180, if you say so Posted by bonitaapplebaum71481, Fri May-01-15 02:24 AM but obviously it's a reach "i wanna hug all u idiotic bastards & then set you all on fire" -Bin www.twitter.com/bedstuybetty http://bedstuybetty.tumblr.com/ DROkayplayer: Giving you good puff since May '05
12795256, gotta be underboob shadow cuz I'm droolin - Boomerang Posted by legsdiamond, Fri May-01-15 08:49 AM
12795106, There's no way that shadow could be from the fabric?

Is the side boob really being shown off if there's no issue when her arms are down? Most of the photos are arms down.
12795485, GTFOH. There is no actual boob showing, side or otherwise.... Posted by WarriorPoet415, Fri May-01-15 12:18 PM talking about a goddamned shadow.

12795133, where? Posted by SHAstayhighalways, Thu Apr-30-15 09:44 PM
12795202, If the side of her boob is showing... Posted by TheAlbionist, Fri May-01-15 05:42 AM ... she must have the boobs of a 50 year old. The widest part of the gap is surely too low for teenboob. I'd actually consider that dress pretty modest compared to what a lot of girls wear to prom and similar... she's showing no leg whatsoever, minimal cleavage, no shoulder (for all my medieval pearl clutchers out there), she's not even showing ankle (shout out Victorian prudes!) This is a classy fucking outfit. Would be interesting to see what her friends were wearing, but I suspect there was a WHOLE lot more skin on show elsewhere that wasn't punished.

12795068, nah it is adorbs like minnie mouse went Posted by sosumi, Thu Apr-30-15 07:04 PM to prom, but if the school made one exception - floodgates… (rereading, hope the other violators were asked to leave after her) also all adulthood stuff should be raised to 21 because I would have an "I am grown" attitude about these things
12795117, Yeah, schools have the right to set policy Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 08:52 PM >to prom, but if the school made one exception - >floodgates… > >(rereading, hope the other violators were asked to leave after >her) But surely the wording should be clear and the policy enforced equally.

12795512, she can't help herself fam Posted by astralblak, Fri May-01-15 12:44 PM #nashvilleconsciousness
12795079, LMAO, that's a joke. In no way is that too revealing. Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Apr-30-15 07:24 PM It can't even be called "provocative." If you see something inherently sexually promiscuous in that outfit, you are projecting in a major way.
12795090, Definitely not inherently promiscuous Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Thu Apr-30-15 08:03 PM >It can't even be called "provocative." > >If you see something inherently sexually promiscuous in that >outfit, you are projecting in a major way. But what do you say to the guy who thinks it's a little too sexy for school?
12795094, that dress is played out like Kwame and them fucking polka dots. Posted by RobOne4, Thu Apr-30-15 08:12 PM
12795151, she looks great. Posted by PROMO, Thu Apr-30-15 11:08 PM i mean, i have no idea what kind of a person she is but i'm inclined to say i'd be proud if that was my daughter. style is impeccable. i'm guessing some broads were hatin.
12795185, I would have no issue if my daughter wore that. Posted by TheAlbionist, Fri May-01-15 03:31 AM She looks great.

12795914, i've been really impressed with the prom shit these kids are wearing Posted by kayru99, Sat May-02-15 12:08 PM the overall style has seemed a LOT more mature than usual, for both guys and girls
12795820, i'm with ndibs...side boobs galore...this is one of those dresses that Posted by R A i n, Fri May-01-15 10:17 PM are featured in those stripper catalogs. it's cute and adorable but, the way it's cut from the back to the front is too revealing.
12795973, Galore though? Posted by Ted Gee Seal, Sat May-02-15 05:00 PM Where does this rate on the side boob scale then? http://static.thefrisky.com/uploads/2011/04/26/sideboob-Scarlett-Johansson-425x481.jpg
