A teen in Washington state had a special night—her senior prom—ruined after being turned away at the door, all because of her breast size. Brittany Minder was denied entry at the Central Kitsap High School event because her strapless dress reportedly displayed too much cleavage for school officials liking. In an interview with KOMO News, Minder said "I feel that it is because I'm bigger chested and there is more cleavage that you can see, and there's nothing I could really do about that."

The school's dress code permits strapless dresses, but only if it covers cleavage. Minder's father doesn't know what his daughter can do to fall in line with this policy: "A girl like Brittany should not have to go to a dance in a burlap sack because she's large busted."

Though Minder was eventually allowed entry after agreeing to cover up with a shawl, she left after about an hour. "I felt self-conscious and they took the magic out of the night," she said. "I already had a blow to my self-esteem. I didn't really want to be there anymore."

There isn't anything she can do; it's just not fair.
