After spending time meticulously picking out the perfect dress, styling your hair and putting on make up, you'd expect to a have a good time at prom.

Unfortunately, prom night can be a wildly disappointing night for many people -- especially one young woman named Amy who was told to cover up what she thought was a classy and pretty prom dress.

"She was told she could go in if she wore the vice principal's tux jacket, which mind you, did not cover her chest. She was told by a teacher repeatedly "Us big girls gotta cover up". This young girl was SHAMED for having breasts," Taylor wrote.

Sharon Anglim, a representative of Maryville City Schools, told WATE 6 in Tennessee that "there is no specific prom dress policy in place. No other girls at the event were called out for similar reasons."

Commenters have expressed their upmost support for Amy, many saying how they all thought she looked "beautiful" and "elegant."

Leave the haters behind at graduation, Amy. Summer is just around the corner.

UPDATE Thursday, April 27, 5:25 p.m. EST:Amy's father noted to WATE 6 that the added lace at the top of the dress, which was added to make the dress more conservative, accidentally broke off between the taking of her photo and her arrival at prom. 

Her neckline was "several inches lower and wider than in the picture. That’s when a teacher asked her to wear a jacket," says WATE 6.

Amy and her parents have not made a complaint to the school about the incident.
