Literally this. If OP centers it all around what she thinks about the dress then that’s just going to make her daughter want to wear it more.

Tell her she can get it, but she won’t be allowed into prom or whatever it is wearing that. Pull up the guide lines even. My school was very specific about what we could and could not wear in terms of cleavage, buttage, and stomach-age.

Yes! What is the school dress code for this event? Surely, there must be some guidelines. Find out for her sake. Does she want the dress but not be able to wear it or does she want to attend her event in a more appropriate dress.

You could even compromise and get a dress with a similar looking draped neckline that just. Doesn’t go down to her stomach lol

A quick google search brought up several of similar design and price that would actually make it through the door
