Wear a nice shabbos outfit. Most girls don’t wear fancy like wedding.”
Off topic, but why do girls dress nicer for a wedding than they do for Shabbos Kodesh?
Do a kallah and chosson not dress up more than for a typical Shabbos? Clearly the chassunah has a certain sartorial status that begs the wearing of a certain type of clothing. Nonetheless, people SHOULD dress up for Shabbos in their best clothing, even if not wedding style.
A Choson and Kallah are a Melech and Malka. So it is clearly justifiable that they dress up.
But a person should certainly dress up on Shabbos Kodesh more so than for a wedding. Certainly not the reverse.
(Also, some girls want to make Shidduchim, and they will be seen by and converse with more people at the wedding than on a typical Shabbos at Shul)
This is wrong. They shouldn’t be conversing with guys. And they certainly shouldn’t be dressing up for guys. That is as wrong as it gets. And Yeshivish girls are not shopping themselves to men at weddings, G-d forbid. And if they are conversing with other women at the wedding reception who may know someone for them, they certainly do not have to dress to the hilt, or dress to kill, for other women. Dressing as nicely for a wedding as they do for Shabbos Kodesh is certainly more than sufficient. More than that is very wrong.
Clearly these girls are dressing up as they do for all the wrong reasons.
