Prom night is almost here! Remember the days of home-made dresses, shoulder pads and bad hair? Well those days are long gone and today’s fashion is all about sex!
Have you seen the barely-there dresses being marketed to the teens todays? Do you think they are too sexy for prom? What message do they send the teens anyway? See more sexy prom dresses HERE!
And if your daughter wants a prom dress you don’t approve of, here are six tips from psychologist Dr. Lisa Boesky on how to deal with those fashion fights:
1. If your daughter is under 16, do not purchase clothing you do not approve of. She won’t be happy, but she’ll get over it.
2. If she is over 16, negotiate on how sexy to dress. She may want a micro mini skirt and you want ankle length — compromise with right above the knee. Allow her one sexy item versus an entire outfit.
3. Be aware of your own clothing choices–your daughter is paying close attention. If you dress much younger than your age, don’t be surprised if your teen dresses more provocatively than hers.
4. Ask your daughter how she feels when she dresses sexy. Why does she display so much skin? Really listen…even if you don’t like what you hear.
5. Ask your daugher to explain how her sexy outfit corresponds to her actual behavior. Does it send the message that she is available sexually? Is she even aware this is what boys assume?
6. Have her father — or another man she trusts/respects — talk with her about how boys view girls who dress overtly sexy (slutty, bimbo, airhead, material, etc). He should emphasize the ’sexiness’ of subtlety and leaving something to the imagination.

these dresses are too scandalous! people joke about kids losing their virginity on prom night but these dresses leave no room for mystery, they are putting it right out there, saying ‘i’m ready for some action!’
if you’re going to buy your daughter a dress like this for prom, you may as well get her a room key while you’re at it! i mean, don’t kid yourself!!

EEEeee Gads! Not only is that slutty but awful! Not even young hollywood would wear that POC (okay, maybe J-Lo when she was younger but…)
Anyway, that should not be considered a “dress”
