Title
Modest Clothing for Women and Girls
Description
We created the Biblical Garden Clothing Collection to provide orthodox Jewish women with a store where every item of clothing is acceptable according to Jewish standards of modesty in women’s dress. But what exactly are those standards?
The understanding of Jewish laws of modesty in women’s dress vary, from lenient interpretations to what are perhaps the strictest interpretations of the laws as found in the book “Modesty: An Adornment for Life,” by Rabbi Pinchas Eliyahu Falk of Gateshead, England. In Israel, and perhaps elsewhere, several communities of like-minded rabbis have drafted “Laws of Modesty” tractates which proscribe many aspects of women’s dress very precisely, down to the acceptable denier (thickness of weave) of women’s nylons and the maximum acceptable length of her earrings.
Communities adopt the laws as interpreted and condoned by their rabbinical leaders, but there is tremendous variation even within orthodoxy, from the neighborhood or school where girls are required to wear 40 or even 70 denier stockings, to communities where many women regularly go bare-legged in the summertime.
