HOUSTON - Marche Taylor's prom night experience wasn't what you would call "the norm."

That's because instead of a night of dancing and hanging out with friends, the Madison High School senior ended up in a confrontation with school officials and escorted out in handcuffs. Officials said her dress was inappropriate for the prom.

"I actually like the dress. Everybody else likes my dress," Taylor said.

Madison High's prom took place at the Sugar Land Marriott, but Taylor only got as far as the lobby. When she tried to enter the ballroom, an official stopped her.

She was told her custom-made dress violated the school dress code.

What a stupid heading for the article. Her dress didn't get her arrested. The load and angry outburst at the entrance to prom got her arrested.

Yes, because no teenager ever left the house in one outfit, only to change into another outfit later that the parents never knew about.

arent you supposed to play the "if blank is wrong then..." card?

it should be noted-thats my daughter and i sewed that dress for her.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

just because that's a horrible shade of yellow and purple means she gets arrested? that's a bit much.

I'm surprised she didn't just wrap herself in yellow saran-wrap. Would've saved a lot of money, and been about the same look and quality wise.

She didn't?

If wearing a waaaay too skimpy dress to prom is wrong, OCBF doesn't want to be right.

Did anyone else think it's oddly appropriate that the name of the town where the prom took place is "Sugarland"?

With a little bit of effort, it would have looked BETTER.

Better than "Hi, I just finished my shift down at the local strip club just in time to head to my prom!"anyway.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

Well, she looks terrible.

As for what she is wearing, who cares?

If going to the prom right after you get off work (and you don't have time to change out of your street clothes) is wrong...
