Sleep well, the American Taliban is on guard.

Maybe they should have someone running around with yellow spray paint to spray her arms down like they do in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia...you know...since bare shoulders are so indecent...some 60 year old man might try to make her his third wife at the dance.

Ms. Bromley is just keeping it real for Sharia law.

Break out the burkas! And don't forget all yer Sister Wives! Yaaa-hooo! Long live the American Taliban!

What amazes me is that we look to these morons to educate our children but they are too stupid to make an informed decision about the appropriateness of a dress.

“She said, ‘Would you mind putting on Sharia Law?’

That dress is a Sunday church dress compared to what most teenagers wear to dances and proms. Is that a private Christian school??? I live on WV and most girls wear strapless and some even wear midriff showing dresses to dances here!

I don't see the dress as being trashy. I did wonder, however... isn't the weather like 30s over there? Wearing nothing on the arms in freezing weather is downright insane.

For a short walk from car to venue?

I don't know where you live, but where I live, in the dead of winter, people don't wear sleeveless, hot-summer clothing. Their hot-summer clothing is stored away.

In winter? You bet.

It’s the very reason people have winter clothes, and put away their summer clothes, and wear winter clothes even though most people are going to be inside all day (work, school, shops, home).

I think women’s need to show as much skin as possible to men no matter what the season is, is a nightmare which forces them to be uncomfortable. Men don’t make those sacrifices for women, never have, and never will.

Next time you somewhere and are indoors for a lengthy time. Remember to wrap up and bundle up while inside! With the heat jacked up to 80 degrees. And see how long you stay in winter clothes indoors. Idiot.

Hey, I must live in a really strange city – people here are wearing winter clothes even indoors – long sleeved tops, knee-high boots, sweaters, etc. Not one person here is wearing sleeveless. Just winter clothes - go FIGURE!

its been a mild winter in Utah its about 40 -50 degrees I ride my motorcycle around in this weather and walk around in short selves. no shorts yet

It's about time to move to another city!

Oooh yeah! Summer clothes in snowy winter! yippee!

There is an amazing piece of clothing called a "coat". Many people wear them when they are outside in cold weather and remove them once inside. The dress is absolutely beautiful and completely appropriate in style and for the season.

There is a very good reason why people put away their sleeveless clothing and bring out their winter clothing in the winter. Summer clothing can be absolutely gorgeous. However, it doesn't cease to be summer clothing.

Perhaps she was dropped off at the door by someone who cared?

Humor???

I sure hope so! Since she was dressed for summer in the middle of winter.

They don't even MAKE prom dresses with sleeves! I don't think you've been around teenage girls in a LONG time, if ever.

Actually, in Utah, there are quite a few places that sell dresses with sleeves, and a great many others that sell formal "shrugs" and shawls to cover shoulders, and a few places that will alter dresses to fit dress codes here.

That's really sad that you've let one religion dictate how ALL the girls at your schools dress. Rather pathetic.

I was just saying that there are different fashions here. All fashions and dress standards originate from one school of thought or another. Ours do mostly come from a religious perspective, because many here are religious, not because the religion says so. It's the people that made these rules, not some church. And just because one region thinks that dress should be a little more sophisticated than trashy doesn't make it "sad." What happened in the instance in this article, though, I admit is really sad and stupid.

Are you SURE that you live in TODAY? 2015? In USA??????? HA HA HA HO HO HO HE HE HE...........

As if the entire USA only has homogeneous fashion? I was trying to explain what I know of the clothing scene in Wasatch Front Utah simply to be informative, not controversial. I'm sorry I fail understand what's so hilarious.

You’re 100% right. The fashion industry no longer wants to spend the money to put sleeves on women’s formal clothes anymore. That way they get to save money on the material, the thread, decorations for the sleeves, the time it takes the seamstresses to make all kinds of sleeves, etc., etc. etc. It adds up to quite a bit of money. I’d like to see the fashion industry try that crap on men’s formal wear (to try to remove the sleeves off suits).

They’re trash, the fashion industry. They've always been. The bottom line is always the dollar bill, and it’s always women that have to pay.

When something seems confusing, just follow the money trail and you'll find your answer.

You are absolutely ridiculous. But thanks for replying to EVERYONE when one reply of your opinion would have done it. Repeating a ridiculous opinion over and over doesn't make it so. She is lovely - in any season. Not everyone is OCD - some people even wear - oh the horror - white shoes between Labor Day and Memorial Day.

You’re completely mistaken.

The OCD folks are those who are led by the nose like bulls with nose rings, by the fashion industry – those who feel it’s life-or-death to wear exactly what the fashion industry dictates, whether or not it’s ridiculous and absurd to wear, or whether it’s sleeveless things in winter.

LOL! This sleeveless thing has you in a tizzy! I was lounging in just my sports bra and sweats while it is SNOWING outside. The absurdity! Let me tell you - it was not an ode to the fashion industry in the least bit. Just ask anyone who saw me - oh wait - no one saw me! It was something I did in private. How to explain that? Its flabbergasting! Baring my shoulders during winter and the fashion industry would be apalled and YOU TOO! How will I live with myself?

I point out something that some people do that makes no logical sense, and because I point it out and explain, I’m in a person suffering a tizzy? lol

It's a mad, mad world...

You flatter yourself. It doesn't make logical sense to wear long sleeves when you're dancing. Ask any guy who has the pit stains down to his belt. That is the fashion industry influence that is illogical.

If proms and weddings are about working out, then perhaps work out clothes are in order. There are some awesome ones at Fabletics! lol Seriously, let it drop.

No matter how you attempt to justify it, it's incredibly ridiculous to be a slave to what some CEOs and some really originally inventive men who work in the fashion industry say constitutes "fashion" for women.

I'm glad you're hot on the case about deciding what's appropriate! Get over yourself. You really do a disservice to women when you can't even let them dress themselves without accusing them of being infantile and "slaves." Holy smoldering shoulders - those men trying to pull one over on us by giving us only sleeveless choices to feed their sexual appetites. LOL Again - you are ridiculous. And F U about "letting it drop." That is your problem -but nice try in trying to turn that around after posting and shaming and edifying and justifying and preaching. Your posts speak for themselves. If you reply to me, I will reply again. It's fun and you don't get to tell this woman what to do. It must be a frustrating world for you - all your preaching and leading and you look back, and there is no one following! It's all because they LACK THE GOOD SENSE to KNOW YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS RIGHT. You are a caricature.

Since you're determined to not believe me, you need to google the following: ..."strapless wedding dresses, we are on to your"...

Ms Saria, We are talking for the inside, indoors etc...

Yes. And I work indoors but in the winter, everyone wears their winter clothes at work, and do not wear their summer clothes. I think I've explained it oh, about 1000 times.

Once again I repeat, the only reason the "fashion" for formals and wedding dresses has been sleeveless only, for 365 days for over a decade, is because the manufacturers do not wish to spend the added expense of sleeves, and the designers that design for them design only sleeveless formals and wedding dresses.

If there were options, people would be wearing options. But there are no options, unless one digs deeply, or goes to a seamstress.

I doubt they held the dance in the park

I'm so tired of these self-appointed moralists. This is nothing more than religious views being pushed by public employees in a taxpayer funded public school. Wrong on soooo many levels.

I am also wondering why people have become so obsessed about the shoulders. In the article it states this young lady admires Audrey Hepburn, who was very popular in the late 50s and early 60s. If you look at clothing from that era it is very modest. I simply do not understand why there is such a fuss made about shoulders on young women these days. I think that dress looks very nice and very modest.

I think the dress is beautiful and in good taste - I do have a problem if she knew the dress code ahead of time and chose to ignore it. Don't act surprised if there is an issue.

Read the article next time: her dress *is* in compliance with the dress code. She altered it so that it would be so. It sounds like the chaperones weren't properly enforcing the dress code. This happens. It's a beautiful conservative gown and those people are idiots. She looks lovely and the influence of Audrey Hepburn is clear.

Laurie, I'm sorry that you are an idiot and can't read and I'm sorry your family doesn't have enough morals to not love someone like you but the dress didn't violate the dress code

I think anyone reading my response and then your ill mannered one will know who the idiot is and who has morals.

The dress complies with the dress code.

Why would you even think to look at the dress code to see if THIS dress was in compliance. It is lovely and conservative. I think you are a bit overly compliant and rule oriented - you would make a lovely enforcer. Every community needs its lunch ladies and recess marms.

Again I have to question the validity of this story as the only identifying parts are "Lone Peak" (where is that ?) and KUTV and again Where is that? Any story even ones like this that does not give specifics is questionable at best.

USA certainly made progress in adopting the Saudiarabian dressing code. Next time get a burka you unclean woman! The local committee for moral is watching you.

Are you SURE that you live in TODAY? 2015? In USA??????? HA HA HA HO HO HO HE HE HE...........
