I was just thinking about getting a dress like that.  And I'm not even a fundamentalist.

I think they look ridiculous on a 35-year-old, yes. I grew up in the era many of these same women grew up in, in which one wore clothing considered appropriate for your age group. Girls wore Peter Pan collars and black patent leather shoes with buckles on them; adult women wore something else entirely, and there was a third set of outfits considered appropriate for elderly women. Nowadays, standards have relaxed somewhat, but you still don't see Peter Pan collars on adult women in the secular realm.
