Parents Confused After School Says Their 3-Year-Old Daughter Cannot Wear A Sundress Because It’s ‘Inappropriate’

This is something else.

Apparently, spaghetti strap sundresses are too inappropriate for little girls to wear to preschool. At least at The Little Years Nursery School in Canada.

That’s right. Jamie and Sadie Stonehouse got a text from their daughter’s teachers after she wore an adorable sundress to school. This is the dress in question:

Yeah…it doesn’t look inappropriate to me.

‘They said that her dress was inappropriate for nursery school, and she needed to have two-inch wide straps on her sundress,’ said Jamie Stonehouse to CTV.

The problem began on Wednesday when temperatures in Winnipeg soared to more than 86F.

Lola’s mum picked out the light dress from her daughter’s closet and thought it looked perfect for the hot weather.

But the school were less impressed and staff told the parents that if she wanted to wear the dress again, Lola would need to wear a t-shirt underneath it.

The dress, which is pink and orange and has frills going down to the little girl’s ankles. The issue, Lola’s parents say, is that the shoulder straps weren’t thick enough for the preschool’s policy.

According to the school, the straps need to be at least two inches wide.

I mean, I know some schools have similar policies. Just not PRESCHOOLS.

“At two inches she might as well just be wearing a shirt,” Jamie said. “It’s covering pretty much her whole shoulder and down a bit, so it’s not even a summer dress at that point.”

‘She’s not going to understand. She’s going to think that maybe she did something wrong, when she very much didn’t,’ said Sadie.

‘She’s going to be questioning her own body. And that’s such a young age to even be thinking of something like that.’

I get that schools can implement their own policies, but this school didn’t even HAVE a dress code, and I fail to see how it’s inappropriate anyway.

The couple say they plan to stick to the nursery school rules but hope that managers might considering reviewing its policies.

‘I don’t think any girl should have to worry about how much shoulder she’s exposing when she dresses to go to school or anywhere else. At any age,’ said Sadie.

‘She’s a child. Innocence is innocence and we’re the only ones who can give it to them,’ said husband Jamie.

That’s kind of where I stand. I get implementing a stricter dress code as kids get older, but there’s nothing inappropriate about a 3-year-old girl wearing a sundress. Those kids are innocent. Give me a break.
