Disagreeing with your teens outfit choices?

[sinningsaint]

So DD2 (16) has a party on friday and has just revealed the outfit she is planning on wearing along with far too much flesh. It is a dress she picked up in town today and although it's made slightly better by the fact she's teaming it with a pair of printed tights and flats I still couldn't help but grimace . She then went on to rant at me about 'being old enough to get married, move out, have sex etc.' and although I know I can't stop her wearing it now she is older I'm still entitled to an opinion! So just wondering, how old were your DD's when you faced the reality you can't stop them wearing what they want??

Doctor should respect your dd's choice. re back acne my dd ties her long hair up at night so it doesnt touch her back and this makes a difference.
I think the way your dd is styling this dress it will look ok. If I thought my dd was too exposed looking going out I would say why it worried me. If I just don't like what she is wearing I shut up. I like the fact that she can find her own style and want her to feel confident. My dd is 14 so not sure yet how this will pan out at 16!

She's an older female doctor and I think she feels she has to do the 'right' thing with teens.

DD1 just isn't a typical teen.
