She wouldn't have gotten kicked out if she was thin, or even a normal weight. It's not just her bust, she has fat hanging out all over. Gross. I wore a way sluttier getup to my prom in 2000 and had no issues whatsoever. I was a size 2 and could actually pull it off.
Someone earlier mentioned how badly she felt for that poor girl, not only going through this but she has no doubt faced nasty comments about her weight her entire life.

This would be like one of those comments.
LOL, I ignored that comment, as the poster mentioned that she wore a "way sluttier outfit" to prom. Just too easy, even by my low internet standards.
Oh I'm cool with slutty, I just don't like fat girl comments. There is no crueler place to be than to be an overweight teenage girl.
You may not like it but it's the TRUTH. It's not like it's going to get any easier for her as she gets older. Weight discrimination is rampant in society. Thin women on average are paid $23,000 per year more than their NORMAL weight counterparts. Life ain't fair. Deal with it. I was a little chunky at one point in college. I was never treated like such garbage. What did I do? Sit and cry like a douche in a pint of Ben and Jerry's? No, I hired a personal trainer and hit the gym. Unless she has a legit medical condition, there's no excuse. When you're fat you should cover up. You should not wear what's in fashion, because that fashion was designed for size 0, not 28. At that point, you should just focus on holding in the rolls and invest in Spanx and lots of black monochrome. Source: society in general and every fashion designer I know. Don't blame me for being the bearer of honesty. This thread could use it. Also, anyone who acts like being that fat is okay ought to have their head examined. It's unhealthy and not something to encourage.

I mentioned that I felt compassion for her, because a friend's mother, who no doubt had good intentions but damn well should have known better, placed her in a position of being criticized by anonymous keyboard cowboys who feel empowered to criticize and ridicule from the safety of their living room couches. And, yes, the poster Dave referenced is included.
Our teenage years are a time of experimentation, and sometimes we make missteps. While I personally think the young woman looked lovely and appropriate, obviously the school disagreed, and I'm sure that proved to be an embarrassing situation for her. In another time and place, the moment would have passed and everyone would have moved on. Years later, maybe a friend would have mentioned it, and they would have had a good laugh while reminiscing about high school.
Today, however, there is no room for a young person, particularly a young woman, to leave these personal dramas behind. Her face and name are now splashed about the internet, and people will opine endlessly about the dress and her body. It's one of the things I absolutely detest about the internet. This will follow her. Sometime in the fall, potentially hundreds of miles from her hometown, a college acquaintance will search her name, and up will pop all this nonsense.
This is exactly why I don't participate in Facebook and Google+, and I warn my friends not to post anything about me...ever. Everyone deserves to leave their embarrassing teenage moments behind, but this young woman won't have that, because a thoughtless woman thought her outrage was more important than her daughter's friend's right to privacy.
And, truly, I am disgusted to read some of the comments left in this thread. Oh, that you too would be subjected to the scrutiny of the cruel personalities that haunt the internet.

Bull. She looks great in that dress. And for the record, you mentioned douche.

So, that's what this is about? That the bigger girls should essentially wear potato sacks, because to encourage them to wear something that *might* make them feel good about themselves is encouraging obesity?
I'd tell you where to take your skinny, judgmental butt, but I'd not like to get banned from this forum.
