Dresses

* In Canada, a student received detention for wearing a halter dress after, she says, the school described it as "inappropriate" and a "sexual distraction". In a Facebook post, the student, Lauren Wiggins, wrote: "I'm tired of the discrimination against our bodies, and I'm absolutely fed up with comments that make us feel like we can't be comfortable without being provocative. It's time to change the worlds mindset. Now."

* In the US, students at a high school in Idaho were told bare shoulders and spaghetti strap dresses were banned from the school dance. The school insists the rule was in place to ensure there was a "safe and fun" environment for the pupils.

* Elsewhere in the US, student Alexus Miller-Wigfall was told she'd have to serve in-school suspension for wearing a prom dress a school administrator described as "too revealing". Her mother believes her daughter was targeted because she is "plus-sized".
