It’s The Most Ratchet Time of the Year: The Ugliest Prom Dresses of All Time

May 2nd, 2012 - By IndigoBlack

I’ll never forget when I went to prom with my dad. Well, let me clear that up, he was just a chaperone and asked both my sister and I to come along to keep him company. He had never attended a prom and didn’t know what to expect. It should have been the norm: colorful dresses, happy teenagers letting loose and so on and so forth. But no, it was a hot ratchet mess. In this particular side of this particular part of this particular city, a majority of the students had their dresses made. You know a homemade prom dress when you see it–there’s less material to it. When the kids walked in the door, every piece of skin you could think of was out, the materials were hideous, and the guys were wearing hats with wrist watches on them…don’t ask. Yes, ratchet prom attire is becoming as American as apple pie, and to keep your child from going that route, have them look at this gallery. If not, good luck.

The “Where Are Your Damn Clothes” Dresses

Blame it on a school where students have to wear uniforms all year long, or just society’s lack of appreciation for clothing, but more and more young ladies are showing up thinking these kinds of dresses are hot. All you have to do is make an outfit and use the extra material…as the dress. If we can’t see all thigh, your entire stomach and the top and sides of your breasts, then you’re not committed to looking as ratchet as possible.

    I can’t disagree with the lack of decorum that the photos above emit. But, I do feel that Madam Noire, should perpetuate positive and uplifting images of ethnic people. And if post like this are necessary it would be nice for a diverse collection of the inappropriate, as to not target a specific people. Inappropriateness comes in all shapes and colors.

    We all know teenagers lack sense. We all know parents lack sense. But, HOW in the heck did the schools allow this? This is just ridiculous. What happened to dress codes? smh

    I don’t understand how they get in the door?! Proms around here in Texas still have dress codes! Insane!

    Until those of us who are parents do better our children are not going to be better!!!! Very disappointing and I dont blame the children for these outfits. You would think that there is not one parent who would allow these beautiful young ladies to go out to a prom dressed in these outfits. Just plain shameful!!!!!!!!!!!!! SMH

    My prom was in 2007. All of my classmates, my date, and I were gorgeous. I must say, I had a really good-looking graduating class overall. No one showed up to prom with outfits like these. Some people were a bit more revealing than most, but most of those females at least had the bodies for it. I was proud of how all 500+ of us looked. Classy. Cool. Fashionable. Elegant.

    I will not let my daughters go to their prom looking like that. Some ppl need to learn some class. I understand at that age, they like to make a fashion statement but there should have been guidelines to most of those outfits :-/

    Ten years from now the people in those pictures will facepalm when they figure out that it wasn’t the best idea at the time. Seventeen puts out a special Prom issue of their magazine… You have the internet at your disposal. HELL WATCH AWARDS SHOWS! Not BET though.. The Tonys, Emmys, SAG and Oscars.

    Go on Barbie Collector .com. 

    Four words for the pregnancy pictures: Natalie Portman 2011 Oscars.
    Five more words: Catherine Zeta Jones 2003 Oscars. 
    It aint that serious. You can be preggers and rock formal attire. 

    I remember when I was little my mom used to tape Miss America AND the Oscars so we can pick out some dress ideas for prom. Do people sill do that?

    Guess not if THIS is the result. 

    SMH.
