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.

It screams "GROUND ME"
I would have dumped my prom date if she wore this.
I'd take it as an attempt to embarrass me by looking like a hooker and most guys would have believed she was.
Not unless she found the rest of it.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Oh, this is gonna be a fun site to puruse. I kinda like the Prom Patriot one though--hee, hee.
Mmmmm....Rose McGowan....
Btw, my daughter's dress (for her senior year) came from the Penney's catalog. A strapless, Breakfast at Tiffany's look dress...she even did the little tiara thingy in her hair (which we did ourselves). And to think I grumbled that I had to call around to find gloves...
That tattoo ruins it.
wow ...
Lord have mercy!
And no I wouldn't let my daughter wear this.
Where's that "JUST DAMN" freeper when ya need him.
/jasper
If you ask my daughter what happens if a boy makes you cry?
She'll answer, "My dad will make him cry."
Rose McGowan is a lovely lady. That dress is down right ugly on her.
yep, you could have been looking for pasties or double sided tape or morning after pills. Go with the gloves!
oops should have read *peruse*--didn't check the dictionary first.
uh, oh. we're all in trouble now.
'Rose McGowan is a lovely lady. That dress is down right ugly on her.'
She has now joined the group of people who look better with their clothes ON.
The profit motive has no conscience.
