Hello Rabbi, I have two questions regarding modesty. 1. Is it allowed for a woman to wear a skirt or dress out of denim fabric? I heard that in some places it is not allowed, and in other places just the sturdy stone washed denim fabric is not allowed, but is there a halacha for this or is it just a stringency? 2. When wearing very wide skirts, the wind sometimes blows the fabric in between the legs of the woman that wears it, thereby exposing the shape of her legs. Is this considered modest or should she buy way tighter dresses that have like a 3 inch ease around the legs so that the wind can't blow it away? It's a bit of a dilemma because I myself wear dresses that are about 40 inch wide at the ankle height when you lie them down, but because of the wind I'm afraid it looks like wearing pants. But the tighter skirts shows the shape of the body more all the time, which I also don't like. Thank you for time in advance.
