[QUOTE]A Utah teenager’s dress worn to a school dance over the weekend got the cold shoulder from administrators, who forced the girl to wear a winter coat to cover up her bare arms.
Gabi Finlayson, 15, a student at Lone Peak High School in Highland, showed up at the Preference Dance last Saturday wearing a delicate pink lace gown with a high neck and a full maxi skirt.
However, the teenager was found to be in violation of the school's strict dress code because her shoulders and arms were exposed./QUOTE]
Restrictive: Lone Peak High School in Highland, Utah, has a very strict dress code prohibiting girls from wearing backless dresses, outfits with thin straps or cleavage

Speaking to the station KUTV, the high schooler said she was left feeling 'embarrassed' and ‘insulted’ when a school official approached her in the middle of the party and asked her to put on a shawl or a coat.
'I didn't want to make a big scene so I said, ‘yes.’ I had a coat in the car so I had to go back and get it,' said Gabi.
The young woman said she came away feeling angry and humiliated after being forced to wear a coat over her conservative dress for the entire duration of the party.
'Somehow my shoulders are sexualized,' Finlayson said. 'Like it's my responsibility to make sure the boys’ thoughts are not unclean.'

Besides Finlayson, three other students out of 1,200 were asked to cover up their shoulders on the night of the dance, according to Lone Peak high Principal Rhonda Bromley.
