    Chops: A lav is a “lo taaseh” – a mitzvah not to do something.

    Listen, maybe we are getting cinical. sorry.Tnius is the most beautiful mitzva for a woman. It makes us regal. It changes us from being ordinary street people to a person with class. the princess of spain was once criticized for wearing an “unprincess” appropriate dress. It had one sleeve only and looked provacative. Royalty dresses with class, at least they are supposed to.

    Just to let you know re: “Oz Vehadar Levusha” by Rav Falk, it is a very comprehensive book about the halachos and hashkofos of tznius, but for clarification of anything you read in ANY book, you should ask your own LOR (Local Orthodox Rabbi)!

    thinking jew: by the way a great idea for open necks is a bobby pin! you make a seam at each side and stick in a bobbby pin to hold it, I’m not sure how clear that is but if you get what i mean

    Thanks for the idea, thinking jew. I think I get what you are saying, but won’t the bobby pins move out of place allowing the seam to open?

    shaatra: I think it EVERY women should wear a shell/under shirt under ANY shirt.

    I don’t think it’s necessary to wear a shell under EVERY shirt, but some shirts or blouses do call for this – especially white shirts, due to the nature of the color and often the thickness of the material, v’hameivn yavin.

    plonisalmonis: Since safety pins are annoying, my new “shtick” now is a necklace – (only works for a collared shirt) underneath the collar – closes off the top of the shirt and doesn’t look bad!!

    I have tried this and it can work, but sometimes the necklace doesn’t always keep everything in place. I prefer the sew-on snaps or safety pins to make sure all is secure.

    coal: shaatra means that a housewife that does everything, and everything well done

    Thanks for the explanation for all of us j-dubs! ;D

    I just looked into this group. According to the description, it’s geared towards Orthodox women, it was started 7 years ago, it has 349 members, and it is not moderated. No activity for the past 7 days.

    How does it work? Group emails?

    I happen to like the YWN in general, and the CR is a wonderful forum for frum people to voice their opinions on matters ranging from the trivial to those of great important.

    My purpose in starting this thread was to encourage myself and others in the area of tznius. If some people are not comfortable in expressing themselves in this forum because they feel it is too open, then I want to help them access a forum in which they will feel comfortable.

    For frum, married women I just heard of a website called Imamother.com. (Get it? Ima = mother or I’m a mother. Cute.) They have threads on all topics relating to being a frum mother and you can begin threads, just as you can in the CR. You have to be a member and it is only for frum women, moderated by frum women.

    If everyone feels more comfortable expressing themselves in these other forums, then I myself will ask for this thread to be closed – especially considering what Mod 80 has written above. I never wanted to be nichshol others. However, if others would still like for this thread to continue, then they should let their opinions be known.

    A frum woman has to be beautiful in the way she dresses,she always has to be clean,her sheitol has to be well combed, her hands have to be well trimmed and cleaned , her blouses and necks have to be properly cover, she should not go out in the street without stockings, the skirts should be long enough, and a frum woman every morning before she goes in the street and in her house she has to know that she is representing a holy nation , not only do it as a habit, she has to know she is doing a mitzvah and everyday she has to know this. When she is in the street or her house she has to be careful with her mouth, never talk bad words and always act properly, do not speak lashon hara and be tzeniut with everything she has and does. Think everyday, I do this because the Torah commanded me to do it. And everyday when she gets up and gets dress and has the right Kavanah, she gets the right reward. The intention is the most important thing in keeping tzeniut. I know people that cover their head with a sheitol because they want to look better. ex. movie stars that wear wigs; Well their intention is not to keep a mitzva so they do not get a miztva so tomorrow morning when you get up. Think and say it loud. I keep tzeniut because it is a mitzva. The reward is greater.
