Plus Size!
Alexus Miller-Wigfall studied in Sci-Tech Harrisburg High School, Pennsylvania, was thrown out from the school for the reason that her dress was not as per the dress code!

Suit Up! Not Allowed!
Aniya Wolf wasn’t allowed at the Bishop McDevitt’s prom as she didn’t wear a dress like other girls. “I’ve just always been like this, ever since I was little, I was always more masculine. You wouldn’t catch me playing with any Barbie dolls, I’ll tell you that right now,” she said. We didn’t get the school’s mindset here because according to us Aniya looked as stunning as any girl looks with a prom dress on!
Why You Wore Pants?
Shafer Rupard studied in Cherryville High School, North Carolina and was not given entry to her prom night as she was wearing jeans instead of a dress when there wasn’t any rules on what to wear and what not. Her mother was quite angry at this incident and contacted the school for an apology!
Backless: A Big No-No!
Mireya Briceno, Muskegon High School, Michigan, was at least able to get in the prom night, however, within an hour she was sent out as her dress wasn’t according to the dress code. Although her mother said there were many girls wearing backless in the prom who weren’t asked to leave, the school said that they’d a problem with the midriff portion as her skin was visible whenever she lifted her arm.
Strapless: Kind Of Banned Here!
Brittany Minder, Central Kitsap High School, Washington, her story is another example of discrimination because of the size as soon as she entered she was asked to cover up her cleavage with a scarf or anything and only then she’ll be allowed to stay.
Watch Your Shoulders!
Gabi Finlayson, Lone Peak High School, Utah was asked not to reveal her shoulders or else she can leave. Her mother got this dress stitched to meet the requirements without revealing back and maintaining the minimum requirement of 2 inches broad shoulders. She said, “Maybe instead of teaching girls that they should cover themselves up, we should be teaching boys that we’re not sex objects that they can look at.”
