OOmis -“You are mistaken. And the paintings I have seen, are paintings of the times. We know from seeing period costumes that women of note throughout the Middle Ages through the 19th Centrury, dressed with lowcut necklines. it was the fashion, especially of the wealthy, AND of the members of Court. The ONE and only point I was making was that you cannot use the “dress in front o0f the king” argument, because often throughout history, that mode of dress would eb considered inappropriate by our standards of tznius, yet be considered wholly proper in front of the king of that time. Look at how women dress for the Inaugural Balls today. that is OUR “King’s Court,” and yoI highly doubt you’d want you daughter dressed like that.”
Instead of conciding that you were wrong – you just say you looked at costumes and they weren’t Tznius. My point though was you were talking about a period of time. Just because some time period dress wasn’t Tznius -you might have to go back further. So your objection to my statement is just a Letzonus.
And a Frum Woman/girl should dress like a princess. Obviously, I’m not talking about the period in time when princesses didn’t dress acc. to Tznius!
