Think about all those men and boys walking around in black felt hats with the sun beating down on their heads. Temperature under those hats must be unbelievably hot. Hot enough to fry their brains, which could account for some of the strange chumras those black hatters come up with.Libbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-10925251826234979392010-06-15T10:57:01.156-04:002010-06-15T10:57:01.156-04:00Just looking at these poor women in these outfits ...Just looking at these poor women in these outfits makes me sweat. You forgot to add in the sheitel. If I were a woman and had to dress tzniusdik on a hot day, it would be a long flowy skirt, a loose top, and one of those Israeli tichels.<br /><br />As for stockings, they're a 20th century invention. Their invention and marketing push was tied to the new idea that a woman who wants to look attractive should shave her legs. Maybe hard to believe, but the entire concept of shaved legs and stockings is less than 100 years old. Another fun fact is that the original stockings had a seam on them as there was no other way to manufacture them at the time. When the new methods were invented that eliminated the need for the seam, the manufacturers actually added in a dark line to look like a seam as the public, at the time, associated seamed stockings with higher quality.JSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-86109380322355610772010-06-15T10:01:42.179-04:002010-06-15T10:01:42.179-04:00I like black because it makes me look slimmer (I&#...I like black because it makes me look slimmer (I'm entitled to my delusions..) but even when I wear black, it needs a touch of color (at the neck, or whatever).

When my mom was in school most of the schools didn't have uniforms at all. Then the girls yeshivas started copying the catholic schools and even buying the uniforms from the same places. The colors weren't all black like they are today. My mom went to one of the frummer girls schools and her uniform was burgundy and grey with a white blouse, not black anything. So yes you can blame the schools for putting the girls into the black and insisting that they dress outside of school in the same way.Malkynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-45462340845025889122010-06-15T08:23:27.233-04:002010-06-15T08:23:27.233-04:00Stockings, socks and other forms of hosiery were a...Stockings, socks and other forms of hosiery were also not part of the original uniform and make no sense in the heat.
