Wow! tab; I’m genuinely impressed!
but the what did they start out as…doesn’t have anything to do with it! I mean what is it now? Is it nice and looks like a dress
fine, is it shlumpy or “Robey” (new word) that is not kavod shabbos
to go outside like that.
I personally, view it as a glorified nightgown.
Take crocs for instance. Crocs started out as ugly, holey,
troll-like foot mushrooms, though they are soo comfortable,
but now there are really stylish ones that look like regular shoes.
Note: there are still many haggy (new word) ones that I see many
ppl wearing on shabbos. They must think it looks nice (it so doesn’t)
