Gothic party gown

It's provocative! So what do you think? Do societies need dress codes? Are the rules fair?

Discussion time!

    Amusingly, I was at a private party in Minneapolis and saw a dress quite a lot like this one. The wearer had electrical tape over her nipples-- easy solution.

    I'm all for that dress being worn in public. To a party or gathering or something. But I don't know if I'd like it for a wedding. It's not even that you can see her breasts, it's just the design. It doesn't seem right for the occasion.

      You know, I wonder, maybe it isn't a wedding gown. That could have been the error of the original title. I'll change the title to formal gown :)

      I am so curious about the nature of this in society. You'd get thrown out of a public party, I imagine, for indecency. Or maybe you wouldn't? I don't know! What should the line be? And who decides it?! :D

        I suppose it depends on where you live and what the nature of the party is.

        In New York, I suppose you could be thrown out of a public party for wearing this, but you could sue and probably win since it is not against the law in New York for women to be topless in public.

        I guess we draw the line. All of us as a society with our laws and practices. For example, in NY we have decided that it is legally acceptable for women to be topless in public, but we haven't decided that on a social level as no one actually seems to be taking advantage of the law and if one should, the harassment and shaming and zoo-like atmosphere that would spring up would be inevitable and news worthy. We have not decided that topless women in public is socially acceptable.

        I don't particularly mind public nudity. I imagine I'd be taken aback if it started to occur, but I wouldn't be against it. But I think that's partially because I don't have children in my life and am not particularly fond of them. Most of my tendencies are very adult-leaning. My world, my thoughts, my tastes and decisions are with an adult world in mind. Children are a mere byproduct to that world, a persistent footnote. That said, I'm not sure what the effects of subjecting children in public places to random nudity would actually be. Maybe assist them in growing up to not feel shame about their bodies? I honestly don't know. I do know that in the U.S. nudity is considered vulgar and exposing children to it would mean....bad things, I guess. So I maybe that's where the line should be drawn: right at the feet of children in the name of preserving a historically Christian ideal (?) of innocence.

        If you're curious, there's some background (and more pictures) on the artist's page.

        Oh, thank you! I am horrible at finding background info :I but this is great!

        Whoa, I didn't know it was not against the law in NYC! How interesting. I just find this whole subject very interesting, perhaps mostly because it's only women where it is considered offensive (a lot of times around where I live anyway).

        You're right. The harassment would be intense, and that's so sad!
