What was immodest about it, Yacov? My shoulders? Are you sick? Like you said, I'm not Jewish so I can pretty much dress how I'd like... my picture though was just fine and I was beautiful. I could see if I were half naked. What did you expect though.... a Quaker dress, Yacov?

You are not Jewish but this is a Jewish forum and we don't allow immodest pictures on here.
--- End quote ---
I wasn't naked, Yacov.You are the only person who had a problem with it. There was nothing immodest about my picture. You're just a sad individual.
--- End quote ---
Immodest pictures include showing below the neck line, short skirts or dresses (That don't cover below the knees.), and if the arms are showing too much (Strictly speaking, nothing above the elbows should show although some people are less strict and only say to cover the shoulders.).

My dress was floor length, Yacov.
--- End quote ---
But you were showing below the neck line. I couldn't even see the bottom of your dress. If you have a problem with the rules of this forum, you are free to leave.
--- End quote ---
So I was supposed to show the entire dress? I was showing my shoulders...shoulders, Yacov. That wasn't a Playboy Playmate shot...it was SHOULDERS. If you are threatened by shoulders on a woman, you have some real issues, Yacov.
HOWEVER, I'll respect the forum and never post a picture of my shoulders again.
--- End quote ---
Can you read? I wasn't complaining about not showing the entire dress. I was only complaining that the dress didn't cover your shoulders.
--- End quote ---
I read very well and like I said they are SHOULDERS. I'm not showing ANYTHING ELSE...and about the length of the dress... you can actually see how long the dress is in the photo. The photo cut the dress off at mid calf...it was floor length.
*I miss that size...I mean dress...* LOL

I don't have a problem with it but it's not for me to decide whether it is immodest or not. It is for Halacha to decide and I think it might be showing too much neckline according to Halacha.

I know what Halacha says I was only interested in your personal opinion, thank you :)

In a word, no. There is no obligation for Jews at these proms to dance or dress immodestly, what is the problem with Jews attending social events and having a good time?
--- End quote ---
You are not Jewish. Who gave you the authority to decide Jewish Law?
There is nothing wrong with attending social events. The problem is that men and women dancing together is immodest, period. Men aren't even supposed to see women dancing among women because it is immodest to see the form of a woman dancing. That is why the mechitza at a Jewish wedding is not made so you can see through it but the mechitza in a synagogue is made with wholes where the women can look across and see the men praying. The second is fine as long as the men don't stare at the women through the wholes. It's just meant to keep a separation between the genders.

This is my Gentile point of view, your question by using the word "Should" is implying that you are inviting all points of view, and this is mine. I simply can't believe that dancing is immodest! Is going to watch the ballet forbidden? Social events are, by definition, social, and I would say that it is morally wrong for Jews to be forbidden from mixing with Gentiles on account of this. However, this is coming from my position as a Gentile (as I cannot see why this is immodest) and I respect your views, even though I would disagree with them.
