Question
DEAR RABBI, DOES A WOMAN GOY HAVE TO DRESS TZNIUS? OR ONLY JEWS? ALSO CAN I DRY CLEAN NON-TZNIUS CLOTHING FOR A NON JEW ? ALL THE BEST
Answer
No, this is not one of the Noachide laws, and only Jews are obligated in the laws of tzniut. Accordingly, a Jew can dry-clean the non-tzniut clothing of gentiles, but nevertheless, a Jewish man may not look at a gentile women in such clothing. Jews have a special role of being a "light for the nations", and accordingly we have many more mitzvot, and thus, we will eventually and gradually bring these ideals and values to the rest of mankind as well. But not as "commandments" but rather as ideals.
