  • Dresses and pants should extend below the knees
  • Modest wedding dresses with long sleeves are necessary for women, and recommended for men
  • Shirts and dresses should reach up to the front of the collarbone
  • Women's legs need to be covered, whether by a floor length dress or by stockings
  • Men must wear a yarmulka, and it is recommended that females cover their heads
