Graduation is tonight (the first of two for one girl graduating from one middle school) and I have come up with a solution to the bosom problem.
A foot of lace trim, an old T-shirt cut into a strip, and some safety pins.
Lily had the choice of death or taking the lace ($1.59 at Hobby Lobby) and facing it with the doubled-over T-shirt strip, then pinning both sides to her undergarments. Voila! A modesty panel.
I don't get mad at her very often, but she found out this afternoon that it does happen.
She looks very nice and we'll be off shortly. We're not showing anything but our smiling faces. We're smiling, right?
You GO mom. Chalk one up for the "Gipper"
(Girls really don't, and can't, "get" what VISUALS do to males.)

Or MAYBE I should have said: "Chalk one up for the "gipperS"

Yay Mom! I spent an entire afternoon looking for a dress without peekaboo cleavage with my 14 year old. Holy Moses. We ended up getting a nice dress, not too short, with wide enough straps on the shoulders, and solved our "problem" with a substantial bra the same colour as the dress, a little black coverup and 2 safety pins. Hurray!
