So you’re concerned about the types of prom dresses that your daughter might pick. This is a very valid concern because a lot of formal or cocktail dresses
aren’t quite as covering as you might like. But how do you pick a dress without seeming to go overboard?
First of all, skirts don’t have to be down to her ankles and she doesn’t have to have to wear sleeves that are down to her fingertips. While this may seem like an exaggeration to some, to others…not so much. So the question is—what exactly is overboard? For one, three inches above the knee is considered appropriate for school. Grab the measuring tape if necessary, but it’s a lot higher than the ankle.
