Would you use the subjunctive for the following phrase? "She prohibited me from wearing my favorite dress." Why or why not?

Yes I would because the wearing of the dress isn't actually happening so it can't be declared with the indicative mood.

I agree it's a classic type, of subjunctive, if you use ' que' in the middle.. - annierats, Mar 11, 2013

No me dejó llevar mi vestido favorito.
Well, that's one way around this one.
Me prohibí llevarlo ( another).
I think it lends itself to a construction with the infinitive. However, otherwise , if you use Me prohibí que.. then it will be followed by the subjunctive.
