No, and it's even ugly.

If a lot of the girls are allowed to wear something like this at my (unborn) daughter's prom, then she's not allowed to go to prom.

I won't let my daughters go to Prom. I remember what I did with my prom date. That kind of stuff would get my girls' dates killed.

Thou if they are gonna go, their girl-friends are more than welcome to wear that dress whe nthey come over to meet up. :D

LOL! That's what I was going to say too! What you see on the model isn't always how it's supposed to be worn.

Classic indeed! :D

I still wonder who the hell spends that much money on a dress, except the celebrities/socialites for whom the dresses are tailored. Why do people spend beyond their limits? :-/

Check your local high school.

Edit: It's interesting reading this thread, noticing the effects of double-standards in treatment of male-female sexuality.

Granted, even when worn as intended it is too racy, but still, the way that NY Post girl is wearing it is NOT the way it was intended to be worn.

Here is a pic of the same dress. Note that the straps over the breasts are stretched over the entire breast, not bunched up to show more skin like the NY Post pic.

Good find.

NYTimes: Trash. No freaking way would I ever go near anyone wearing that. Seriously.

Amused's find: Much better. Halfway classy.

The black dress in the catalogue isn't that bad compared to the red one.

The most fabulous thing about that dress is that it goes up to a size 30. :thumbsup: Excellent...
