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.. 。
