Regarding the rebbetzin- the pants are absolute lies, the sheitel I’ve heard conflicting reports – one is that early on she wore a hat that didn’t completely cover her hair (this was way back where most frum women didn’t cover their hair at all, and the rebbetzins did with a hat) but as soon as the Rebbe spoke about it she got a sheitel right away. Others said she had one all along. Regardless she was extraordinary in her tznius. Any kind of kovod made her super uncomfortable and she avoided the masses. Most chassidim (I mean women too) did not know what she looked like. When a crown heights store she shopped at found out that she was the rebbetzin and started giving her special treatment, she stopped shopping there. She never went to shul because she didn’t want a fuss made over her etc. She would introduce herself simply as Mrs. Schneerson from president St. Their home was also very simple. Very few people visited her in her home. She was very different than the Rebbes mother who was a very proud rebbetzin, went to shul often, warmly greeted people and made them feel welcome etc.
