Prom Dress Code
Why do we have a dress code? H-F staff and administration want you to make good choices.We are not trying to inhibit your
style.
Prom should be fun, but we want everyone to be comfortable and safe.
With modesty in mind, the following dress
code guidelines will be enforced at the H-F High School Prom
Formal prom attire may be classified as a tuxedo or dress suit, including a tie, bow tie,
a turtle neck, a shirt, which may include a vest or cummerbund. Shirts are to be worn at all times. Dress shoes or dress boots must be
worn while in any public building. Tennis shoes, Timberland type boots, and athletic
shoes are unacceptable for prom.
BOYS’ FORMAL ATTIRE

#1 Dresses may not be cut below the bust line.
The bust continues around your sides directly under the armpit. With arms down at your side, if flesh touches flesh below the bust
line, the dress is inappropriate.

#2 Dresses may be backless as long as they are not cut
below the naval, or your natural waist.
Please note how the bust is covered on the sides. With your arms down by your side, if skin from your arms touches (or can touch)skin on the front part of your body, below the bust line, the dress is inappropriate.

Other Dress Code Rules
� Dresses may not be constructed with see-through fabrics such as: Tulle, Netting, or Illusion (skin color inserts).
� No pinning will be allowed as an alteration for a dress if without the pins the dress does not meet the dress code.
� Fabric inserts must be sewn as alterations to the dress. No skin color inserts will be allowed. This still gives the illusion.
� No cover-ups (shawls/wraps, sweaters, coats) will be allowed over dresses that do not meet the dress code.
� Undergarments should not be visible.
Prom Pictures Attire for pictures taken at the dance must also meet dress code. You may not wear
inappropriate attire to take pictures and then change into attire that does meet code for
the dance.
While we will be reasonable in our interpretation of these guidelines, you will not be allowed to enter the dance if you are dressed inappropriately and there
will be NO refund of the ticket cost.
Most importantly, this dress code does not limit your ability to show your style and uniqueness.
Prom is a time to exude class, sophistication and elegance!
