18-year-old Isabella Villegas defended her 13-year-old sister Grace from a school dress-code violation in the most crafty, big-sisterly way we've ever seen. 。
Grace told Buzzfeed that she changed out of this off-the-shoulder shirt and into a different one after receiving some "not nice looks" and comments from teachers: 。

On the plain white t-shirt, Isabella wrote:。
"Dress code: promotes the objectification and sexualization of young bodies, blames the wearer for the onlooker's perceptions/actions, perpetuates rape culture, is BS." 。
Regarding the specific things she wrote on the shirt, Isabella said, "I wrote those things because I felt like they best explained my point as to why the current dress code (or way it is handled) is wrong. They summed things up." 。

"I know my sister felt embarrassed and ashamed, but I felt pure anger," Isabella said. "As a middle schooler, she has enough to deal with regarding gossip and ridicule and should not have to fear getting it from her teachers as well." 。
Isabella tweeted a picture of the shirts, side-by-side. 。

After she did, people responded in differing ways. Some commented that the original shirt Grace was wearing was inappropriate for school. 。
bellavillegas_ I don't agree with dress code but if my daughter was 13 she wouldn't be wearing that, let alone to school, it is low cut..。
