Subject: Why Bais Yaakov schools use Uniform Outfits

Dr Berlin in mj-V29n56 asks why having unifrom outfits in Bais Yaakov
schools is not a violation of walking in the "ways of the Goyim"

The explanation I heard of why Bais Yaakov schools have uniforms is to
prevent the girls from "competing in dress and jewelry" (A situation
where the parents keep on having to buy clothes because their daughter
feels left out because everyone else is wearing...)
