Which girls in today's school formal functions would be able to pass every guideline my old high school had for banquets?

- The neckline had to be above the cleavage.

- Sleeveless and strapped had to be two inches wide on each side.

- Off-Shoulder sleeves had to have straps over the shoulders.

- The back material had to be no lower than the traditional bra strap and we had to wear bras.

- The underwear lines couldn't be seen and we had to wear. We couldn't go commando.

- The bodice, stomach, rear and thighs had to be covered. The material could not be transparent on those areas.

- The material had to be able to be moved when a female teacher ran her fingers on the material or else it was too tight on the stomach.

- The slit, if there couldn't go above the knee.

- The longest the skirt could be in a dress or skirt was floor-length, no trains and no dragging.

- Two female teachers had to check and approve the attire BEFORE a deadline before the formal function. Uniforms were brought to the banquets for any girl who did not comply with the rules.

Males had their own do's and don'ts in the formal attire to abide by.

    And those would have been scandalous standards for some earlier times. It is irrelevant what the requirements were generations ago, whether for dress for school functions or who could vote (there was a time only land-owning, white men could vote: should we go back to that?).
