Jerusalem – A women only semi-annual designer fair in Jerusalem, held ahead of the Jewish holidays, brought together a mostly religious crowd seeking designer clothes and accessories within the Jewish Orthodox limits of modestly.

Head coverings and modest clothing were for sale and a fashion show displayed the goods that were available for purchase.
I could only wish that my wife’s yom tov fashion shopping would be limited to the latest and greatest in snoods and tiechels. The two pairs of shoes and dress from Nordstrom’s before pesach could have paid the kid’s tuition for next year.
#2 : Women who buy expensive clothing are not neccessarily unhappy or depressed. Firstly, many women can afford to buy these garments without making a difference to their family’s lifestyle – husbands often like to bellyache, just because. Secondly, better clothing is usually tailored better, stitched better, uses better fabric and therefore, lasts longer. Better to have a few very good outfits than a closet full of inexpensive shmatas. Fine feathers do make a fine bird and you can never go wrong with well tailored clothing, particularly if you have any figure flaws you might wish to conceal.
I just want to comment I was personally there. The clothes were inexpensive as the most expensive item i saw was 100$. The teichels the most were sold for 25$ if u compare that to a sheitel I think we are on a different level than the American Jewry sorry to dissapoint #2 but even rhe designer modest clothes were still in moderate prices as apposed to #1 whicj I can’t believe what he wrote!!

My wife tells me she buys shoes at Nordstrom’s on sale for about $200 but they last forever. The same with dresses. She buys what she calls “timeless” styles for several hundred dollars each but they don’t become outdated after just a few yom tovim.
