I did not go to BY or any other religious school – we did not have it. I’m BT and I’m following what I learn from my daughter ( who is observant 18 years out of her 30), my mentor and different classes I take. I was learn that Jewish woman suppose to cover her knees, elbows and collarbones and I personally follow it. Being a fashion designer I made a new gowns and kind of “creative” alteration for ladies from our community. Till one day. That day someone call me and asked to make gowns for her daughters (15 and 18 yo) and I was agree. Next day I could not believe my eyes – girls ask me to make strapless gowns with small boleros. I gave my word just a day before and did not know what to do now. I asked the shaila and I was told I can do it, because: 1. I’m not only a dressmaker in community, 2. I’m doing this for money, 3. girls will not listen to me any way, because the mother does not care about the way they dressed. So, I did. But I do not want to do this any more, I do not want to help ffb girls to be dressed this way. Every road starts from the first step and not long enough skirt may be this first step. I do not judge anybody – just my thoughts.
