I’ve attended a fair number of HS award ceremonies over the last decade, and there are inevitably a few girls who show up in inappropriate rigs, along the lines of “I can’t believe her mother let her out in that!” Of course, one realizes that the mother has most likely given up already, because after endless fighting she decided this wasn’t the hill she wanted to die on, or perhaps she is absent or dysfunctional. Most of the girls look fine, as do most of the guys. (And yes, I say “mother” because I don’t know of any fathers that monitor or have that much influence on what their kids, especially their Ds, wear. I’m sure they are out there, and to them I apologize.)
I think that the instructions went way over the top. I have no problem with them pointing out the underwear issue for both sexes, and suggesting modest, business casual style for both, but the rolls language was just too much. I mean, I appreciate the sentiment and the desire to stop some girls from–in the eyes of the adults–embarrassing themselves, but no.
I will say, though, that as a person who is neither small-busted nor thin, it is completely nonsensical to suggest that it is impossible to find clothing that covers one appropriately. People of all body types tend to buy clothing that works with their body type. I would be an idiot if I thought that I should buy exactly the same clothes as my friend who is 6ft tall and weighs 120lbs, OR the exact same clothes as my friend who is 4’11". Yeah, there are some types of things I simply cannot wear. So what?
