I'm sure your boobs are covered and not revealed. I'm also sure that a minimzer won't miraculously make your boobs seem tiny. Sorry that your MIL is giving you grief about the size of your body parts.

Personally I find it disturbing that your MIL is noticing so much detail about your chest region. 🤷‍♀️

I hate tights, I love maxi skirts. I think it's the best compromise FOR ME. Completely covered, but not miserable. Knee socks are the best, IMHO. I don't live in a Chassidish area where mid calf length and seamed stockings are the norm, but I pass through that community daily. Nobody even gives me a second look.

As for the chest area, Hashem gave you that size! It's not more "untznius" than if you'd been given flaming red hair. I hate it when women get shamed for natural attributes.

As long as your tops are not skin tight, I don't see that there is what to worry about. Nobody of any size should be wearing skin tight, anyway. (Same goes for skirts.)

Why wow? Rav Falk is from the Gateshead community. That is known to be very charedi. Not a secret, but not everyone holds of that shita in tzniut at all.

Not everyone reads the site every day. Just because someone asked a question which was asked a few weeks ago, it shouldn't imply in the slightest that they're a troll.

I have no idea if he is or if he isnt. I just know that in many circles he is known as the extreme shita. Gateshead is also one derech, not like many others as well.
My point was, that rav falk is not mainstream judaism. It is one way, not everyone's way, thats all.

I live in an American right wing area. Most people I know consider Rabbi Falk to be a more extreme opinion. I went to a right wing Bais Yaakov school and they even advised people not to try to follow his book because they were nervous people would go too extreme and it wouldn’t be healthy for them. This isn’t to say I have a problem with people who do, but it’s definitely not mainstream in many frum communities.
