The girl was trying on super short (micro mini) fancy dresses to wear to a school dance/Prom. When the girl tried on an especially short shimmery blue dress she told her mother that it was too short, that she couldn’t sit down in such a short dress, and that it wasn’t a modest dress on any level. The mother kept encouraging her and told her that she needed to wear this dress to be popular and so the boys will like her. Poor girl. With a mother like that, she will have to be very strong to make good decisions and withstand that negative messaging.
