I know you all dress modestly…
but my question is..
from where do you draw the definition of ‘modest’ for ur dressing??
is it
…your religion
… your culture (your family/ancestors culture)
… the culture of the place/country you are living at
or
… social setting you are going to visit?? like…university opposed to a wedding as opposed to a party etc etc…
Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
Religion only. As a teen, perhaps more cos of my conservative parents, but now as an adult, just religion.
Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
religion plus social setting
Re: A question to ladies about dressing…
Quite an interesting topic :k:.
For me its a blend of the reasons you mentioned. 1) Religion? Yes to a good limiit but unfortunately i don’t follow it completely 2) Culture is also quite important and its something one is born into so you automatically adapt to it. 3) Social setting is EXTREEMLY important. I don’t have issues with people wearing whatever they want to wear but it seriously looks quite odd when they are dress so wrong for the place they are at.It’s like why are you dressed like you are going to a disc, while you are out here shopping?! 
p.s AND NO i know they have no plans of going to the disc even after shopping

Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
If I am not mistaken. The question simply could be:
Laies: Please define modest dressing.
Re: A question to ladies about dressing…
It is a state of mind

Who’s?
Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
I think how you choose to dress up has a lot to do with how you've been raised...which includes your religious background, how religion is practiced in your community, how you've grown to understand it all, and what you're comfortable in.

modest dressing is something that fulfills the requirement of covering yourself properly...........

That is whats being asked........ from where do you draw the definition of 'proper'...
Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
Well obviously it's a mixture of what you believe in and the influence of those around you. It's quite interesting really - I've always worn hijab in the sense that I wear a headscarf but my definition of modest dressing has changed over the years.. Perhaps what I thought was acceptable earlier isn't anymore and vice versa.. And I think most girls will probably feel the same - the way you dress doesn't stay as a fixed static thing..
Re: A question to ladies about dressing...
Its my choice to wear a low cut shirt and tight jeans and if anybody stares at me they're a pervert. how dare they :)

Can’t believe whatever you said.
Please provide explicit proofs.
