NAPLES, Fla. (WINK) - A Florida teenager’s prom dreams were ruined when she was turned away from the dance because she was wearing a suit.

Holly Savidge says her daughter, Sophie Savidge, was dressed up and ready to go into Mason Classical Academy’s prom.

“She was excited. We took a couple pictures,” her mother said.

But Holly Savidge says a school administrator pulled her daughter aside “because she was in a suit and not a dress because she is female and not male.” The school has strict guidelines for formal attire. For female students, only an evening gown, cocktail dress or one-piece attire are allowed.

Sophie Savidge was told she could return to the dance if she changed clothes, but she decided not to do that.
