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).
