Sounds like fashion rather than a true trend towards modesty, which I hope it is.

How could a dress be strapless but not low-cut?

Correction: There is no such thing as a trend that is tzniyus. If it is trendy, that itself makes it immodest!!! -------------------- Do you love the IRS?

Does "trendy" only exist in the secular world or can I say that the fact that most of the teenage girls at my shul have shoulder-length hair pulled back in a ponytail means that that's a trend? -------------------- "But it's a dry heat."

Haha. Wonder what the tznius police are going to do now....I mean being tznius is not supposed to be "trendy".
