CNP, just for the record, short sleeve shirts worn over a long sleeve shirt, are NOTHING NEW. Over 30 years ago it was a style to dress that way and NOT ONE ROV (to the best of my knowledge, becuase it would have been as publicized as it is today)said boo about it. Frum Bais Yaakov girls were wearing it, Satmar girls (I worked with several) were wearing it, and so was I. It is beyond hypocrisy that this has become an issue (only exception that I can understand is the flesh colored long sleeve, because of the illusion of a short sleeve being worn. Then again, Would you feel the same way about girls wearing jumpers with blouses (I mean, those are sleeveless altogether, without the blouse)). I can see a legitimate argument made for skintight clothing not being tniusdik. But if the shape of that same shirt could otherwise be considered tzniusdik, then there should be no problem whatsoever in their being worn with a long sleeve shirt underneath. It is simply not logical to feel otherwise.
