Maybe I’m naive (after all I live “out of town”) but are short skirts really such a problem?
During the week, my girls (including 3 teenagers) and I, as well as all of their friends that I see in our house, all wear pleated skirts at least 4 inches below the knee with black tights. Shabbos outfits are harder to find, but we still manage to find long skirts (and wear opaque hose instead of tights).
The biggest two tznius problems that I see are low (or loose) necklines and shells with extremely tight sleeves. I think that most women know that their skirts have to be long enough to cover the knee and that this is not such a big issue.
Am I wrong?
