I heard her interviewed this morning and she said that she wore her date's jacket when they entered the dance because she knew that the dress didn't comply with the rules they had been given.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with the dress, but if she knew that it would violate the rules and she wore it anyway, my sympathy is limited. You pays your money and you takes your chance. In this case, it didn't pay off.

And the "someone else did it too" argument never worked on me, either.
