same thing happened to me in Villagio and to think i was pregnant that time and should wear a dress but due to my bulging tummy my below-the-knee dress got a little above-the-knee and it was the first time a lady (im not sure if a local but wearing black and in veil) approached me and told me that she does not want her sosn to see women wearing such dresses as its haram for them and even told me that she will tell the gurads to reprimand me and such so just to make the conversation short i asked my husband to just leave the mall... im now thinking that the lady wo approached you could be teh same lady who got up to me a year ago =)

still we should respect their tradition/ culture, whattodoyani!
