Prom Dress Lands Teen in Cuffs


Houston Senior Marche Taylor did not make it past the lobby. School officials stopped her and refused to let her enter prom because her dress violated school dress code policy. She was told she would have to go home and change if she wanted to attend prom.

"The young lady came to the prom wearing an inappropriate dress after the students were told what the guidelines were," Houston Independent School District press secretary Terry Abbott said.

The school guidelines said, " Only one inch of an attendants' midsection was permitted to be shown and slits in dresses could be no more than three inches above the knee. Additionally, see-through fabrics should not be worn in places which reveal private body parts."

Students planning to attend the function were required to sign the guideline document and return it to their homeroom teacher. If students did not sign the guidelines and adhere to the dress code, they would not be allowed to attend the prom, school officials said.

Taylor failed to leave the prom when she was asked to, according to Abbott, and instead began making a scene. Abbott said Taylor began yelling and acting "belligerently." "After she was told she would not be allowed in unless she went home and changed, [Taylor] became aggressive and belligerent and eventually police were called to escort her from the building," Abbott said. Police hired internally by the school district handcuffed the teen and placed her in a patrol car until she calmed down, Abbott said.

No official arrest was made.

Meanwhile, the story has made national news and Taylor's picture has been all over the internet and TV news. She does not regret the dress and has become "famous" because of it.

If you signed an agreement to follow the school dress code for prom then you knew what was appropriate and what wasn't. She should have known wearing a dress that showed WAY TO MUCH of her body she wasn't going to be able to walk. And making a big scene about it is not helping her situation out.

Disgusting! That's what I say. Some people need to find a grain of common sense. she knew that she was not supposed to wear that kind of clothing. she signed a contract/form saying that she would dress appropriatly. So it is all her own fault. I would be embarrassed if i was her!

She knew that she wasnt to wear that kind of clothing to the prom she signed the agreement and turned it in. She was an idiot to make a big scene of that because she new before hand that if she wore something too revealing that she wouldnt be able to walk

She should have followed the guidlines that she agreed to when she signed the agreemnet. I think the school was in the right when they didnt allow her to go to prom. If she didnt follow the rules she should not beable to attend the prom. I dont know where in public that dress would have been appropriate especially at a school function.

She knew she was not suppose to wear that kind of dress to prom. She signed the agreement she should have followed the schools rules. That showed way to much of her body. By making a big scene out of this did not help her any.

i think that if she had signed a piece of paper to follow the school policy and they told her what she can and cannot wear they why did she go out and but i think that her dress showed way to much and sh shouldn't of wore it. She i dont think that making a big scene really helped her situation out... Some girls really need to grow up and dress more appropriate no body likes to see that stuff so.....

How hard is it to follow a few dress code rules? to some people its obviously too much for them to handle. This girl took the situation way to far. This news doesn't make her famous, it makes her look like a fool.

This girl is dumb. She should have realized that she isnt going to get into her high school prom with two pieces of yellow ribon on her breasteses. it is absurd to wear something like that into public school. if she was my daughter i would have bought her a dress from the 1950s. YAY for old dresses.

i think that this out fit is hot but yah the girl should have followed the rules if she wanted to go to her prom she did really take it way to far

she should have known what the consequences of showing up in that dress would be. maybe she should have actually read the agreement that was passed out and then she wouldn't have to have been kicked out of the prom. its her own fault for not following the rules.

shes dumb. seriously if you sign a paper that says you cant wear somethign taht is innapropriate then you cant. shes dumb. why make a big scene about it. stupid girl.

Dan said...

She looks like a total hooker in that dress, and acted like a little baby because she didn't get her way. If you didn't dress so skanky maybe people would respect you. It's kind of pathetic that she actually thought she would get away wearing what she did. It wasn't even barely a dress.

nastynate said...

um really if she is dumb enough to walk around in a dress with her nipples hanging out she is probably dumb enough that she didn't even read the sheet they hand out so may be they should just not allow retards to attend their prom.

Leritz said...

She signed the contract and should have realized her skimpy dress would violate the dress code. Either she wasn't paying attention or didn't care...If she wanted to go to prom that bad, she would have picked a more appropriate dress. I don't know why she would want to wear a dress like that to a high school prom anyways. If you wanna wear clothes like that, become a stripper!!! Prom is supposed to be elegant...not a peep show...

as a guy ussually less is more but seriously people how messed up does americas youth have to get. i think the girl had it coming and it should be a lesson to young.

More stupid people doing ridiculous things and being rewarded for it by the general population. This shouldn't be news. So many schools, especially in large cities, need to avoid all physical contact with students which prevents them from dragging students away. This was a necessary action in response to a childish outburst by a common idiot.

ashlayy said...

i think this girl deserved the punishment she got.. she knew the rules and know she would be punished if she broke them and she did. and who wants to see her half naked? all she wanted was attention

Daisy_Dukes said...

All I have to say is how degrading to yourself!! Only lil hoochie mamas wear this kinda stuff!! This is a high school event there should be rules but shouldnt have been all over the news for it. Like you argue about it when you know its wrong too.

chuck said...

This girl must have some loose morals because that dress is pretty skanky. I would have called the police on her to if she acted how she did.

miles said...

i think that the student should be punished because she knew that it was not right.

thomas said...

that dress is a little skimpy if i was her parents i woulda never let her wear that

tyraho18 said...

This girl is retarded. I'm glad that she was caught and I hope she is really embarrassed by her actions. She obvisously has no sense of common decency. She should have known that there were guildlines to go by, and she should have went by them.

SadieS said...

They had signed something saying that they understand the rules, and they had broken their promise. I think cuffs might have been a little to far, but who wants to see that nastiness?... Not me. it's their own fault that this happened to them i give them no remorse.

Gangster Conservative said...

That girl is a moron!!! sign the stinking document saying your going to dress correctly then you don't? what a dingbat...go home and change your dress you skanky girl. she shouldn't be given national attention for this either. I am sure thats probably what she wants..

TaraBara said...

They signed the sheet they should follow the rules she new what kind of dress she could wear so she did it all to her self she needs to grow up an dfollow the rules
