Wearing Red Clothing

Question

Hello, What shades of red are forbidden for a woman to wear? Is burgundy, which is dark red, permitted? And if it is an item in burgundy color, which is only part of the garment (for example, a burgundy apron on Purim that is part of a costume). Is it allowed?

Answer

Hello 

The prohibition applies only to the actual red color. 

The prohibition is only on the overall appearance of red, not on stripes within a garment that do not give an overall 'red' appearance.
