I became intrigued with these "very sexy women's wear" signs that were all over the market after reading Lonely Planet's recommendation that foreign women make sure not to show too much skin. In fact, I purposely bought shawls to wear while walking in the street on my own. It was partly influenced by the LP tip, but also partly to emulate the elegance of Indian women most of whom wear some sort of shawl, scarf of traditional drape. Note also that LP specifically said that wearing local garb is perceived by locals to be a sign of respect.
