Now, do I think you should wear skin-tight clothing? No, but I feel that way in general. There's nothing more immodest about a belly bump than any other body part. |
No one is saying we need to hide our pregnant bellies, (that's impossible obviously.) But we shouldn't be wearing skin tight clothing that exposes the exact shape of the stomach and let's not mention the belly button that comes along with wearing tight maternity clothing.

Great.
Either the woman you saw at the party holds this way, and decided to break a rule.
or she doesn't.
that's it.

I love when people use tznius awareness posts as an opportunity to gossip and show off how much better they are than the fool who made the tznius faux pas. What good does it do to whine about what someone did after the fact? It would be more effective to post a general tznius PSA regarding costumes before Purim.

Tznius. |
I think you are missing the point. I'm not in favor of flaunting the body. I'm opposed to hiding the condition.
And for what it's worth, my grandmothers both said that back in Europe, frum women nursed in public all the time. They didn't expose their breasts, but everyone understood that infants had to eat. Finished.
The gemara (Yoma 54a) faces a problem. One pasuk says that the poles, the badim, of the Aron, could be seen through the paroches and one says they couldn't be seen. The gemara reconciles the two by explaining that the poles pushed through the fabric like a woman's two breasts are seen through her clothes.
הא כיצד דוחקין ובולטין ויוצאין בפרוכת ונראין כשני דדי אשה
Because women have the bodies that Hashem gave them.
