<font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=4>Someone sent me the following,
but did not indicate where it is from. However, it does give
sources for the statements below. YL<br><br>
<b>Red Clothing<br><br>
</b></font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>Many women wear
different color garments during the summer months. The color<br>
red </font>is <font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>not permitted to
be worn by a woman since it is a sign of <i>pritzos. 36 </i>Included
in<br>
this </font>is <font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>a red headband,
or red stockings. 37 If a garment has a minute amount of red in it,<br>
then it </font>is <font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=3>permitted to
be worn.38 Some quote the opinion of <i>Horav Yaakov Kamenetsky<br>
zt"/ </i>who maintains wearing red is permitted today since it is
not viewed as a garment<br>
of <i>pritzos. 39<br><br>
