“We should call the store owners to the carpet and request she stop selling pritzus.”

Dont assume the store owner is a female. In my neighborhood, several womens clothing stores are owned by men AND they work full time in the store (if i was a woman I would find that a little creepy – I dont shop in mens clothing stores that employ women, not because of any halachic reasons but I find it a little creepy).

Last summer a number of women in my neighborhood sent a very strongly worded letter to a store that actually dressed the mannequins in an untzniusdik manner (OK, no jokes about whether mannequins must observe tznius) to show just how the skirts could be worn “just at the kneE” or the elbows were just covered, if you didnt move a muscle) and basicly said they would not shop there and would publicize to as many people as possible not to shop there if they didnt fix the window diaply. Within a week, the mannequins were wearing long flowy denim skirts that would cover a fire truck, even when it was sitting down and climbing stairs. Dale Carnegie has said many times, people are motivated, by 2 things fear and money.
