The video won’t play for me, for some reason, but I love what I could see about the wedding dresses. 🙂 I don’t understand the trend (?) of wedding dresses baring more than I usually do at the beach. Orthodox Christian, not Jewish, here, but those kind don’t fly at our weddings or other church functions. It is hard for some women to find anything modest enough locally.

I suppose this is the part where I should tell somebody to get off my lawn.

The video in the linked article has a 38-second advert. No thanks.

They seem like nice outfits and I prefer a woman of modesty.

Why not? I do historical re-enactments and dress in medieval and Elizabethan clothing and am comfortable. I don’t see what the big deal is in NOT dressing like a skank. It may not be the fashion, but a style I adored from the recent pass was knee height boots with a 2 inch heel, a mid calf length A-line skirt, and a soft angora cowl necked sweater … [sort](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b1/6d/a4/b16da4b9844f8566bc909885faa145d7.jpg) [of](https://img.shopstyle-cdn.com/sim/5a/8d/5a8d4eb93acfdc2fb4eae8ae1006161e/joan-rivers-classics-collection-joan-rivers-petite-look-of-suede-mid-calf-riding-skirt.jpg) like these.

Well, nobody, including the ultra-orthodox, would wish to slut-shame any girl.

I’m sure there is a place for every fashion, from Mormon women’s Temple Dress to pussy pelmets.
