The wedding boutique does not cater to the religious crowd. I presume the red dress is an evening gown or for a bridesmaid

I didn’t think of this before but it’s good for the stores–they can sell many more clothes this way.

re Mrs S, I see that too.
I don’t know whether this is the egg or the chicken, but it seems that the religious shops are selling clothes that are not modest, then the girls have to wear undershirts, they also wear the underskirts,
I feel they are doing this as they have no choice, not because this is how they want to dress.

Mia,I bought shoes that are covered with gold sequins for my 4yo. These were in a different category.
LOZ, The wedding boutique does not cater to the religious crowd. I presume the red dress is an evening gown or for a bridesmaid (do they have those in Israel?).

those wedding gowns don’t look particularly צנוע. and what’s with the red wedding gown?
my wife likes the dress (or long shirt?) over pants look.
it’s nice to see religious girls wearing some color. (here it’s basically all black.)

I am one of those that wear the “layered look” shirts also in summer, not for religious reasons just becuase I don’t want to have anything peeping out from here or there. In summer I spend most of my time in the AC’ed workplace, so it’s not a problem. The skirt over skirt and pants under skirt is nothing new, Ulpana girls were doing this way back when I was in school.
About the shoes, my daughter is only 4 and I already noticed that some of the sandals have heals. I don’t mind the glitter.
Those wedding dresses I really don’t get.

RA:Shirts are skimpy these days for sure. Fabric is expensive, you know.
TC: That is the main reason I prefer to work from home. Didn’t Roseanne Barr once say something about frumpiness being the result of a desire for comfortable footwear?

I’m amazed at those necklines. I seem to be in the everything-is-too-high-or-too-low category.
For my 12 year old daughter, the challenge is finding shirts long enough to keep her covered when she lifts her arms.
And we are both way too warm for any extra layers.

Annie, LOL.
RM: I can’t stand the thought of an extra layer in the summer. I’ve avoided that look.
Mrs. S: I’ve seen that as well. My teen daughter still sticks to skirts and stops, bli ayin hara poo poo poo (that is a formula to ward off the evil eye).
Miriam, plenty of women wear them too. Again, I can see it in the winter, not the summer.
