Dress with Uneven Length
Question
Modesty
Is there an issue with a dress that ends at an uneven length? In what manner is it permitted or forbidden?
Answer
Hello
Anything that stands out and draws attention is not modest and is forbidden to wear, even if it covers what needs to be covered.
A noticeable change in the length of the dress certainly draws attention and is forbidden. A slight change that is not noticeable and does not catch the eye is permitted.
