Comments on: For Large Breasts, Cleavage Isn’t Always Sexual. It’s Natural!

I think that in this situation, both parties are wrong. You see, prom is indeed a special night in a young woman’s life, so I think that they should have let the dress code violation slide, but I also think that perhaps one should be more careful when choosing prom attire if there is a dress code to follow. As for the larger breasts making things more difficult… well at least you’ve got breasts. Men can be very cruel to flat chested girls, and it may just be my lack of experience speaking, but it seems like being seen more sexually would be easier. I could be wrong though.

I think that both sides of the argument are right in a way. I mean, if it isn’t the girl’s fault that her boobs are big, (I’m a C34 but with a “healthy” body, which means that I’m slightly underweight by around 25 percentiles, and I’m 14) I think the school should let her wear a cleavage-y dress, but on the flip side, if its her fault (not exercising or eating right) I think the school is right. This might sound shallow, but if you can’t bother to take care of your body, you can’t expect people to be like “okay, whatever”

Honestly, I’m more concerned about the fact that several people have commented that the school was right. I mean, come on. If an uber skinny chick with teeny tiny A-cup (not that A cup is bad–I personally like smaller boobs on women, to a certain extent) had walked in with that same dress, NO ONE would have pressured her into wearing a coverup. If women have to cover up their boobs, then guys should have to wear this sleeve garment that actors wear that prevents their penis from protruding at all. It’s legitimately not fair–it is SO not our fault that society (cough MEN cough) think that women that show ANY kind of cleavage are “sluts” and “need to cover up.” Women are beautiful, they really are. And if women especially are commenting that she needs to cover up, you need to realize that dresses, in today’s world, are NOT made for larger teens, regardless of what the media is starting to suggest. They aren’t shaped any differently, simply made bigger.

Okay, she bought the dress knowing the dress code but how would you feel not being allowed to wear something you love. Se found her dream dress and quite honestly shouldn’t have been judged for something she couldn’t control. Sorry that everyone doesn’t want to get breast reduction surgery

I normally don’t comment on anything, but this I certainly have an opinion on. I faced a very similar set of circumstances at my prom. My school is far from conservative, but at formal events they really crack down on dress code violations. I am also a very busty woman and went high and low to find a dress in my size, let alone cute and somewhat affordable. I ended up with a strapless, purple dress with corset backing. I figured that the corset backing would at least help the girls stay in, which it did, though I had a significant amount of cleavage (more then I thought I would). One of my teachers came up to me during prom, pulled me aside and told me that my cleavage was inappropriate. So I picked up a shall and wore it the rest of the night because I was so embarrassed.
I was made all the more upset because there were many other girls who had much more questionable attire- including plunging V-necklines. One difference: breast size.
Unfortunately, with bigger breasts comes greater responsibility (that frankly is unfair). I can’t even describe to people how hard it is for young women to find shirts nowadays that don’t show some cleavage. The school is clearly in the wrong here, though they’ll hide behind “upholding the dress code”.
I am sorry that you had your prom ruined by this. I was lucky and was able to shrug it off eventually, though it did take some of the sparkle out of my special night.

I agree with the school and covering up. She wore her dress but just had to wear a shawl and it was her decision to leave. She said that her night was ruined but she should have noticed that her boobs were hanging out. Her fault she did not follow the rules.

The school was totally right! Sorry, you didn’t by a dress and then accidentally have a growth spurt. A sweetheart neckline, strapless dress is an obvious thumbing your nose at the rules. Personal responsibility people!!

I am still very mad that men still care more about breasts than anything else. They’re not meant to be sexual in the first place, they’re just baby bottles attached to a mother. It’s outrageous that a man can go out in public with no shirt and not be seen as offensive, but if a woman wears something that shows cleavage it is. It sickens me.

I completely agree with her! I have a very large bust as well! It is constantly seen as an object of desire, and is more or less a burden. Shame on the school for not realizing the issue.
