SJSinNYC: I am not talking about “a woman with a sleeve that is 1/4″ too short” (although that is also contrary to the halachah as I have learned it), and to think that that is the only problem is a bit naive. (Please forgive me for that but I wish I could still be naive with some of the stories I have heard!) Halevai that would be the only problem!

It is form-fitting outfits and styles that emphasize certain body parts or call attention to certain body parts that are the real problem now, IMHO. Even shoes can be inappropriate. Some of the high heels now are so…I am looking for a word here…Am I allowed to say…..in the YW CR?….NO

I will quote several Rebbitzins that I have heard say, “A woman should dress in a way that is attractive, not attracting.”

Unfortunately, many frum women do not know this or do not take this to heart.
