Marche Taylor’s Skimpy Dress Leads to Prom Flap

By Rosa Hayes, published May 12, 2008

Marche Taylor’s night ended in a skimpy dress and handcuffs for this teen that was headed to the prom. Taylor didn’t even make it pass the lobby before school officials told her that her dress violated the dress code.

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.
