Prom Dress Code
Ladies:
Dresses may be strapless (if they fit properly) or include
spaghetti straps.
Dresses may be backless, as long as they are not cut
below the naval.
2-piece dresses MUST overlap at the waist: meaning top
MUST overlap with skirt waistband.
Midriffs will not be exposed. This includes both front and
side. With arms down at your side, if flesh touches flesh,
the dress is inappropriate.
Dresses may not have a slit that exceeds mid-thigh. This is
fingertip length.
Dresses may not be cut below the bust line.
Undergarments should not be visible. See-through
apparel is not permitted.
Garments that are tight or low-cut are also unacceptable.
Gentlemen:
Formal prom attire may be classified as a tuxedo or dress suit,
including a tie or bow tie, a dress shirt, which may include a
vest or cummerbund, and dress shoes. Shirts are to be worn at
all times.
Students, if you are bringing a date from another school, it is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY to make your date aware of our dress code policy. Prom is
a formal and special night for POB students. We hope to maintain the
integrity and formality of this night by implementing this simple dress code;
as such any students not appropriately dressed will be turned away at the
door. There are hundreds of beautiful, tasteful, and appropriate dresses
available for prom. If you have questions concerning your dress, it is your
responsibility to seek prior approval from administration.
