“Please forgive me oomis. The only people I would bother saying “don’t be a fool” to are those that are clearly not.”
I wasn’t really angry, and I am moichel your words. I hear your point, but at the end of the day, the fact is that no rabbonim of the last three decades entertained the notion that this fashion style was untzniusdik then, so it makes no sense that they have jumped on some sort of tznius bandwagon, and suddenly came to that conclusion. It was a very prevalent style in those years for quite a while, and as I said the frummest girls with whom I worked ALL dressed that way, and they were incredibly makpid on their tznius.
The fact that daas Torah did not at all take issue with the style then, suggests to me that those who do so now are taking it a little too extremely. As a rule, I do not believe that because “everyone does something” that makes it kosher. But neither do I believe that just because someone feels a certain way about something today, that it necessarily means that person is correct.
