Beyonce smiled triumphantly in her Givenchy Haute Couture gown, nude mesh and glittering gemstones cascading to the floor. The Vera Wang dress worn by Selena Gomez was heralded on dozens of “Best Of” lists, praising the tastefulness of the front cutout panel, the elegance of the backless drape. Take note, fashion insiders: the slinky dress is back, and it’s here to stay! Unless, of course, you happen to be a high school girl headed to the prom in Shelton, Connecticut. “I have cutouts in the back of my dress so parts of my back are visible,” Danielle Rieder told The New York Times yesterday, describing an interaction with the school’s headmaster. “She said that was inappropriate.” Danielle, a junior at Shelton High School in Connecticut’s Fairfield County is the latest voice to join a chorus of students nationwide, voicing their frustrations with school officials’ dress code policies–particularly those which seem to crop up (no pun intended) right around prom season each year.

It doesn’t take more than a cursory Google search to discover that these stories are as commonplace as they are infuriating. Within the past two weeks alone, eighteen-year-old Mireye Briceno was ejected from her prom for wearing a backless dress, and plus-size teenager Alexus Miller-Wigfall was slapped with a one-day suspension for “violating dress code rules”–despite the fact that slimmer girls were wearing more revealing outfits to the exact same dance. We’ve heard stories of girls being forced to wear jackets over their shoulders to gain entrance, and even submit photos of their dresses to administrators before being allowed to purchase their tickets. And now the latest: Shelton administrators are under fire for announcing, mere days before the prom, that any dress which features a backless design, side cutout, or bare midriff would not be permitted and would result in the student being turned away at the door from entering the event. “We want our young ladies to be dressed beautifully;

we want them to be dressed with class and dignity. But we are going to draw the line relative to attire that would be deemed overexposing oneself,” said school superintendent Freeman Burr at a press conference in which he claimed that the incident had been “blown out of proportion.” I would spend some time listing the ways in which the incident doesn’t seem blown out of proportion to, say, the teenagers who have been shopping for the perfect dress for months and to the parents who have already footed the bill, or explaining how the sexism of these arbitrary dress code rules is a double-standard that sexualizes and targets teenage girls unfairly. But I don’t have to: the students of Shelton High School have already done so spectacularly. Credited to the “Croffy/Smith Siblings” as well as the student body of Shelton High School, this petition (the full text of which is available online) has been circulating throughout the school. Major props to the teens who have clearly been paying attention in English class: their arguments are well-supported and clear, pointing out the inherent hypocrisy in treating the boys differently than the girls when it comes to enforcing dress code requirements:

“There is a sexist and backwards logic that girls must cover up so that boys are not distracted or tempted to behave inappropriately. If a girl wears a pair of shorts and a boy takes that as an invitation to touch her, who really needs to be told to control themselves? Don’t teach girls to hide their bodies; teach boys self control and that they aren’t entitled to a girl’s body just because she dressed in a way that made her feel beautiful or just didn’t want to get overheated.” Preach it, Shelton High. And major kudos to The New York Times for covering this issue. When one of the most widely regarded forces in modern-day journalism deems this a newsworthy story, perhaps that’s the wake-up call schools need to stop policing female bodies, once and for all.Whether you visit our shop or utilize our pick up and delivery service, our objective is always the same — to meet or exceed your expectations of service and garment care.

We begin with careful manual stain removal for stains that can’t be removed by machine washing. After washing, each shirt is individually finished, then inspected for missing or broken buttons that may need to be replaced. We will hang or fold & box your shirts, whichever you prefer. We offer you the pride and comfort that comes from wearing properly fitted clothing. Our staff includes full-time tailors who are experienced in the complexities of fine tailoring and the alteration of specialty garments such as wedding gowns, tuxedos, evening gowns, prom dresses, and uniforms. Please contact us to make an appointment for garment tailoring or complex alterations.

For simple alterations, such as hem shortening, feel free to stop by the shop for a complimentary pinning. We want to make sure that you always receive the finest fit and proper length. We offer seasonal storage free of charge for all garments that we have cleaned and pressed. Our temperature-controlled rooms are dedicated exclusively to garment storage on-site at our shop. We request one week’s prior notice to retrieve your stored items. We do charge a nominal fee for fur storage. Furs are stored in an off-site fur vault. Every garment is unique, so our preservation process begins with a consultation. We examine the garment with you to discuss your expectations, determine its condition and communicate any concerns we may have of potential problems or possible risks to the item if it is wet cleaned. The next step is a gentle cleansing. Once cleaned, we contact you to return for a second inspection to verify that the cleansed garment meets with your approval. Upon receiving your approval, the garment is pressed and then carefully packed into an acid-free storage box for protection from humidity and oxidation.

Bridal accessories may be preserved separately or with the gown. We take great care with your irreplaceable family heirlooms. Professional cleaning can bring new life to antique wedding gowns, christening gowns, table linens, lace pieces and hand-crafted quilts. Before we proceed, we’ll discuss the process with you and explain if there are any potential risks or restoration limitations. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to clean most large household items on-site – including tablecloths, linens, draperies, bedding, feather comforters, sleeping bags and small rugs. We send down pillows to be renewed by an off-site specialist who will clean, sterilize, and fluff the feathers. The refreshed feathers are then stuffed into a new, complimentary slipcover. We are dedicated to protecting our environment and reducing waste by instituting new cleaning techniques and recycling practices. Considered a safe alternative by the EPA, wet cleaning is a water and detergent based process that greatly reduces the use of dry cleaning solvents.
