Wow, the dress looks pretty classy given that it's supposed to pay homage to the Rebel flag. I don't know if you've seen them or not, jca, but there is a T-shirt company down here in Georgia called Dixie Outfitters that makes T-shirts (manufactured in the town where I used to live) that have brazen Rebel flags all over them and are marketed mostly to teenagers. They look very TACK-Y and "in your face." I have seen them on kids everywhere, not just in the South (my niece in Maryland wears one). Doesn't this girl with her prom dress have reason to feel singled out?
