“trust me that’s infinitely harder than adding an inch or 2 to your dress length”

How would you know? Is there someone who has experienced both nisayonos who can prove that one is harder than the other?

Women are obligated to follow hilchot Tznius. Once she’s passed the bare minimum it’s on the man to not look. These four inches, choking neckline, colors, etc., are *lifnim mishuras hadin*! If a woman chooses to keep extra chumras, it’s beautiful but NOT obligatory. In fact the more society tries to force women to keep the chumras, claiming that that chumras are Torah misinai, the more it seems that Torah Halacha isn’t livable and it becomes worth trying. For me it took until after I graduated BY and learned from a MO rabbi the EXACT Halacha that I realized that the Halacha is definitely doable, it’s these chumras ( sometimes mishugasim) which people pass off as Halacha that make it not worth trying.
