Bemused: Let me make sure I am understanding you. You think it is strange to make dress related comments without mentioning tznius? I did not receive those comments from my parents frequently. And when they came, I knew what they meant.
On a side, regarding making a comment directly complimenting the tznius, I would assume it depends on who it is coming from. I would’ve hated hearing that from a parent. (Ok, maybe thats ‘case sensitive’. ;))Perhaps it would’ve been different hearing it from someone else though, but most people dont go around making such comments…
