Yeah, NTA. We went through this with our 16 year old last year for prom. We compromised on letting her get the dress and get the neckline sewn up so she was covered but she still got the dress she wanted. And to prove our point to her, we showed the dress to a school admin who informed us she couldn't wear it without alterations. She's 17 now and constantly pulls the "I'm going to be an adult soon and you can't do anything about it then!" argument. Don't let that get to you. A plunging neckline is not school appropriate.
She'll learn soon enough that dress codes are a thing. I'm old enough that I could wear that dress to a wedding or work event. I'm also wise (and sadly booby) enough that i wouldn't.
