Skimpy Prom Dress Lands Teen in Handcuffs

Marche Taylor’s custom made prom dress landed her in handcuffs at her senior prom. The Madison High School student says she wasn’t allowed into her prom because school officials said her dress was too skimpy.

Taylor said she entered the lobby of Sugar Land Marriot, where prom was being held, when an official stopped her and said she had to leave. “She shook her head, she was like you are not getting into this prom,” Taylor says. “We were arguing back and forth because I wanted to know why I can’t get into my prom.”

 

Taylor said she even offered to cover up, but she was still denied entry. Instead, she was handcuffed and lead away by Houston police. “They didn’t give me any options, but go to jail or go home,” Taylor said.

 

The principal of Madison high says the dress violated the school’s dress code. “It was revealing in such nature it was not appropriate for the prom,” said the principal.
