January 25, 2012 12:17 am at 12:17 am #846025essy8Memberis it stylish also to have a red ribbon belt decorating the kallah’s gown? i’ve seen this recently… am i alone in thinking this is disgusting?
January 25, 2012 3:49 am at 3:49 am #846026147ParticipantFYI essy8:- Red is considered a color of good luck in Chinese culture.
This week having been the Chinese New Year [on the real day of Molad Shevat] it is auspicious to be alluding to the Chinese in honor of their R’H.

not to mention that striking things like a red belt on a pure white dress and red clothing in general are not considered the height of tznius.
and chinese culture notwithstanding i think even in the american goyish society, the bride wears white to symbolize purity (in a different way) and a low red belt seems…i can’t think of a word that would get past moderation…trashy? crude?
January 25, 2012 6:20 am at 6:20 am #846028dash™ParticipantThe Winter Solstice is always in the 11th month of the Chinese calendar so the New Year is almost always on the second new moon following the Winter Solstice. The exception being when a leap month is added after the 11th or 12th month.
