KKH, the sicko mindset of the fashion industry is not relevant. With every single item of clothing they design for women, their intentions are less than pure.
I can take a skirt that was intended by the fashion industry to show more leg than frum Jews find appropriate, add a piece of fabric to the bottom, and now it is perfectly fine for any rebbetzin to wear. Would you say frum women can’t wear it because it was originally manufactured to look alluring?
Women fix immodest clothing all the time to make it OK to wear. Take a short-sleeved shirt, wear it with an appropriate shell & now it’s fine. It was designed to send a certain message, but it’s not being worn that way.
My non-frum friend was looking at summer-time pictures of my family taken in Orlando. My daughters were wearing floor-length denim skirts. My friend did not find this look to be alluring in the least. She was impressed by the modesty of Jewish girls, who will wear long skirts even in hot weather.
