Marche Taylor's Skimpy Dress Leads to Prom Flap
Taylor's skimpy dress cause a ruckus and eventually police officers where called to take care of the mishap. The police officers handcuffed Marche Taylor and escorted her away from the prom, as reported by the Dallas Morning News.
I am the parent of a teen who is old enough to attend the prom at his school if another person sends him an invitation. The reason for the invitation policy is so that no one younger than the age of sixteen can go to the prom but if you are sent an invitation by someone and you are between the ages of 14 and 15, there is an exception that is made.
Being a parent and watching your children grow up before you eyes, is one of the most challenging things that I have done in my life. Prom isn't just about getting older and hanging out with your friends. For the girls, the prom is mainly about the dress and how everyone else will see them in it.
Get to know your schools dress code and policies. Every school year, the children are handed out a school policy book, read over it with your children and make sure that they understand the dress codes and the policies that the school has in place for them. The rules and regulations might have changes since last year so don't assume that you already know the rules.
Be the judge of the prom dress. If there is a reason that you don't like the prom dress tell your daughter why and ask her for her input on the reason.
Give her freedom but not too much. Once you have gotten to know the dress code, go ahead and let her pick out a prom but don't let her go overboard; there is usually room for compromise and you can often meet somewhere in the middle.
The differences in opinion are probably going to set you back a few hours. Your daughter may want to go with a dress that is the color blue when you had your heart set on your daughter wearing something black. This is not a big issue and your child should be allowed to choose their own color of dress and style. If the dress is not too revealing and meets your modesty standards, then let the rest of your opinion go.
Keep within your price range. Many parents like to splurge on their child's prom dress but some may not be able to afford it. There are a lot of places that you can go to get an affordable prom dress for less that $100 you just have to know where to go. If you have a budget, explain this to your child and tell them that there are reasons why you are not able to spend more than the allotted amount that you gave. If you do not keep within your budget, you may regret it later.
My daughter hates her body and I don't know what to say? This is a huge worry on a lot of parent's minds. Don't worry about it too much and offer a bit of encouragement but if your daughter really thinks that her body does not look good in a dress, you can agree with her without making it too obvious by suggesting that she try on another dress that you seen her eyeballing to see if she likes it better.
Parents should do a routine check before their children head out the door at prom. This is so that you can be certain that they are not violating the schools policy. If you have too, go with them when the pick out their prom dress.

Post a CommentIf you people can't see why this dress was inappropriate you need your heads examined. I'm not saying that I've never worn revealing clothes...but I have absolutely never done so at a school function. There's a time and a place. I love the dress, but that's not a dress you should ever even consider wearing to a school event. The school has to maintain a dress code appropriate to representing the school itself. Had she gone into that prom, she would have been not only giving herself a bad name, but the school as well. What do you think would happen if the parents of prospective students had seen that something like that was allowed into the prom? No. What she did was wrong. Save the dress for a place that you can wear it to, like a club.
You know, if the school hadn't given the girl a dress code for the prom before she ever bought her tickets - I might agree with ehr getting the money back.
However, that child lied to her grandmother about the dress. Snuck out of the house before Grandma saw it. Then she threw a temper tantrum at the prom when she was told that *gasp* the rules applied to her too!!!
Tough luck Marche.
well its prom night theres no violation in that young girls dont always end up pregnant so where ever that came from its not true...so it shouldnt be a problem with what she wore that night...there are jus haters because they didnt have the dress on and why say anything about what she wore and u know that u have sumthing in ya closet even worst...she needs to get her money back just because she didnt get into her senior prom...thats a lawsuit because she can never get that night ever again...ill b damn ima get my money plus more my mom seen da dress and liked it as well....ya'll need to mind ya business
It's a shame what some young girls are wearing these days, give them a few years, when they start having kids and they will feel so stupid that they ever wore some of the things they did. Parents need to take responsibilit for their kids. especially something like a prom dress where I'm sure some family member saw her leave for the prom.
I Know at times kids, I mean pre-adults all between the ages of 17 and older are very excited and anxious to get so much done for prom.A female of course, GIrls should be able to wear whatever they want to wear who are we to say they cannot. she as well as her grandmother paid for her dress and the dress did not come out as plan. The lady who promise and was paid to do the dress did not do as she was told so should she suffer for that? I say NO, the dress was not what she wanted but it was still BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I F you ask me. She wants her money back is that so hard? and for all you people including the news get your information right before you publish and talk about false information. oh and good words to live by ''TEND TO YOUR OWN, YOU WILL DEFINITELY LIVE LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with carolyn you are so right people should stay out of this lady way of getting her money. you have the right to your own opinion and that's just it "Your Opinion" who needs it?

great advice for parents in this article!
people are really taking it the wrong way any kid would like it but any older person would hate it because older people are use 2 covering up
The mother has been mentioned several times; but..... my question is "Where is the DAD" !! I have a college age daughter and she was raised by Bible standards and has never Wanted to put on such an attire. I'm a man and I do not want her to dress in a way that is not becoming to a real Lady and cause disrespect to herself, family or school. She has always been treated with respect by any male she has come in contact with because they readily realize she's not the "other" type woman.
