Prom dresses: A poll
In light of my post on prom dresses yesterday, I thought it would be interesting to follow up with a poll on the subject -- for parents.
My children aren't anywhere near prom age, but I'm already dreading the prospect of battles over clothing, particularly for special occasions such as this. What if a teenage girl wants a look that's a little too revealing for her parents? Or what if she wants a high-fashion dress that costs a mint, and -- even if she's paying for it herself -- her parents think it's a big waste of money?
Tell us in the poll and in the comments. Voting is open until Monday.

I think that parents shouldn't be able to say "You must wear this one" but they should be able to say "You cannot wear that one".
But, I also know that I would only use the veto if the dress were really really risque beyond normal fashion trends.
If she wants something fairly low cut, I'd make sure she has the right underwear and double sided tape.
