Was it as bad as this?

PROM princess or porn queen?
This prom dress is so skimpy, even the designer's CEO wouldn't let his teenage daughter wear it. But the dangerously revealing gown, prominently advertised in Seventeen Prom, YM Prom and Teen Prom, and on sale in a Midtown shop, is a top seller for the company this season.
"I was shocked when I first saw it, but now it's one of our top 20 dresses nationwide," says Nick Yeh, the CEO of Xcite, the Stafford, Texas, company that designed the dress and some 200 other styles this season.
"I have a 15-year-old daughter and, no, I would not recommend she wear this dress.
"As a businessman," he adds, "I'm not judging what a teenager should wear or not wear. It's up to the parents to decide for their own children."
In fact, some shops in smaller cities require girls to bring in parental permission slips to buy the dress, Yeh told The Post.
At Elite Designs, a formal shop in Midtown that has the barely-there gown on a mannequin, owner Surinder Nagpal says, "We've gotten a few calls about that dress. Originally, I wasn't going to stock [it], but my sales associate told me that girls would want it, so we're stocking it in black and red."
So far, says Helen Rodriguez, Nagpal's sales associate, no one has bought the $495 gown - but it just arrived.

LOL
That's not a dress...
those are suspenders
;o)
that would at least help it stay up.
Seeing that dress makes me glad I don't have any girls! I wouldn't have been caught dead in that thing myself!
Maria doesn't look that much past 30 herself...so let's do the math here...
LOL!!!
I haven't laughed so much on one thread!!!
We need a prom thread or maybe we should save it for a friday night after we have all been drinking.

It's the same dress, just how it's worn depends on how you route the straps -- either over the shoulder, around the back, or around the neck.
Dear, sweet God, where did THAT come from?
Stafford, Texas ping
How else would you keep those straps attached during a prom dance?
Thank God, both of my daughters got married to good men and I did not have to deal with this type of thing.
However, this is funny!
Not only is it slutty, it's ugly.
the same goes for the pregnant prom dress. It looks like it's a homemade number they whipped up in about 5 minutes, they took a sheet and cut a hole in it like in great pumpkin charlie brown.
Where on earth do you get those pics! Mine was a lighter green and I thought it was magnificent. Today it is at my sisters house where my grandnieces parade around in it,,no kidding,,45 years old. My momma could sew like nobody's business.
I guess now is not the time to admit this was my first choice for the Ball.
I don't see how it's supposed to stay in place,unless it's glued on.
It is from a hilarious site: www.uglydress.com
I saw a future Maria in Wal-Mart the other day. Cold day mind you but she was wearing about 5 or 6 thin strips in the back, boobs hanging out, about a 6 month pregnant belly exposed. She'll make a wonderful mother.
Thanks for the bad flashback. I'll probably go to bed thinking of this dress. Why'd ya have to go and do that?!
