Question

When is it okay to let your daughter dress more "appealing"?

Answer 1

Ladies should always dress modestly no matter their age. That means always sleeves, no bare back, no 2 piece bathing suit and so forth. That is another reason why society is deteriorating.

Answer 2

I'm very conservative and my two girls won't be dressing "appealing" until they're out of my house. No super short skirts unless they have leggings, no super lowcut shirts, unless there's a tank top underneath. That's my take, They don't need to be flaunting anything.

Answer 3

When she has a full time job and earns her own wages 18 or so

Answer 4

When she's an adult and buys her own clothes.  lol

There's no need for a young lady to ever dress more "appealing".  (I'm assuming you mean more s**y.)  I think its perfectly OK to upgrade their wardrobe from the p*****n clothes to more sophisticated and trendy clothes, but there's no need for short skirts, midriff shirts, lots of makeup.... things like that.  A young lady can look "s**y" while still being covered up.  Girls these days are leaving very little to the imagination.

Answer 5

When she's 30 or never.

Answer 6

ew...when she doesn't live in my house anymore!

Answer 7

I'm not sure what you mean by "appealing," but I've been allowed to dress as I please since I was old enough to have an opinion on it. I ask for my mom's opinion a lot of the time, because she has excellent taste, but my mom doesn't pick out my clothes for me.

I dress tastefully and appropriately because I would feel uncomfortable going to school half dressed. To me, that isn't appealing. It looks unbalanced, and like the girl is trying too hard.

Someone actually asked my mom how she made her daughters dress so appropriately. She had to tell them that she didn't "make" her daughters do anything, but that we dressed ourselves this way.

Because we've been raised to feel comfortable with ourselves, and the clothes we wanted were never a "forbidden fruit" we never felt a need to dress inappropriately.

Answer 8

in my opinion, when she isn't living in your house anymore.  but i suppose you could get away with when she has a job and buys her own clothes.  any sooner than that (say, 17-18 years old) is just asking for trouble.  let kids be kids as long as possible, they grow up fast enough in today's world.

Answer 9

Unless they are trying to get a pimp, then never. If they look like a w***e, they will then act like a w***e, and be treated like one. As for more mature attire, like going from t-shirt and jeans, to a nice evening gown. Once they start dating...in my house that wouldn't be untill 16.

Answer 10

Why would you allow your daughter to dress appealing? Appealing equals s**y. And if you need to ask when is the appropriate age, she is too young. How about dressing classy?

Answer 11

What are you asking?

I think is very unappealing to see a young girl/woman dressed too revealing.

If you mean a more tailored/fitted look then it really depends on how well developed she is. Maybe in high school. But be careful not to go over the top with it.

Girls as well as women can look good in figure flattering clothing that doesn't reveal too much.  You don't have to wear clothes that are dated and frumpy.

When I was growing up for the most part my mother let me pick my own clothes. I never wanted to dress in skimpy or tight fitting things anyway. I think it is good to give her some choices as a teaching tool. Be there to guide her in making decisions that will let her be stylish with out being S****y. It is up to you to teach her where the line is drawn.

I would say giving more freedom as she shows  you that she handles the decisions better. Maybe around high school age. I still wouldn't allow for things too short or too tight or too low cut. Too many predators out there that will take advantage of young girls.

Answer 12

It would depend on what it was. A bit more of a low cut shirt, or a dress that is cut just right but still covers you, I guess 17 or 18 on occasion but not every day. But those super short skirts or shorts and pants so low the zipper is 1 inch LOL or the very low necklines not until they are out of my house. You can dress appealing and not look trashy, there is a difference.

Answer 13

When she's old enough to realize the consequences.  Because when you dress 'appealing' men will look at you and flirt with you.  So when she's ready to be put on display.

I didn't start dressing 'appealing' until I was about 19.  And then I stopped, because I couldn't take all the staring.

Answer 14

35

Answer 15

36

Answer 16

When they no longer live in my house if by appealing you mean revealing and S****y. The tummy will be covered, the jeans fitting instead of tight, underwear not showing, make-up tasteful, chest not hanging out and shirt not tight. I want my girls to respect themselves and to get attention for how wonderful they are, not because of their bodies.

Answer 17

17-18

Answer 18

Never!

Answer 19

while my child is living under my roof she will be dressed decent. a child doesnt not need to dress "appealing" there is nobody they need to "appeal" to
