Just a note, an aquaintence of mine recieved a psak form R’ Moshe Feinstien (you’ve all heard of him I’m sure) about socks for women. He said that as long as her knees were covered, even when she sat, she could wear ankle socks. Knee-his, thigh-his or full stockings were not nessasary. So, if an over zealous person were to have gone over to her to give her tochacha for her untzniyus, who would be right? Also, how many of you would listen if someone felt, in no uncertain terms, that your car was too flashy and inappropriate for a frum Jew? Would you run out and buy a more “Yeshivish” car?
While we are on the topic, how come when I got married, over 25 years ago, EVERY woman wore pastels and other bright colors? Any one wearing black was considered not dressed properly. This went for all weddings, Yeshivish, Chasidish etc. Are we truly better now? I don’t think so.
