Special Conditions for Clare
Although she passed the dress code test, Ann still told Clare that her dress was still too short. She allowed her to go inside but said she needed to be careful with how she moved while sitting, standing, and dancing. Ann also said that she would be watching Clare the whole night.
Called Out for Her Height
As soon as she walked in, Clare noticed that other girls had shorter dresses than her. Clare was tall for her age, so dresses that looked long on shorter girls appeared short on her. Not only was Clare uncomfortable than Ann would be watching her, but she was upset, now, about her hypocritical nature.
