Interesting thread.. The laws of modesty in Judaism have similar clothing requirements.
You have to wear skirts, they must cover your knees (even whilst sitting), your tops must go up to your collarbone and past your elbows, and married women must cover their hair (either with a wig or hat/scarf). It technically isn't law, but such a widely held custom it has the same level as a law, is that you must cover your legs with either stockings or socks.
I don't find I'm really any hotter in summer as long as i dress smartly. So that is mainly wearing cotton, and loose skirts and tops. The hardest one i find in the heat is stockings, but i'm used to it, so it really only bothers me probably 2 days out of a year.
I really enjoy dressing this way, i feel like i'm making a statement about myself and my boundaries. Which is funny, because before i became religious i thought all women who dressed this way were either brainwashed or repressed.
