Authorities in a devoutly Islamic district of Indonesia's Aceh province have distributed 20,000 long skirts and prohibited shops from selling tight dresses as a regulation banning Muslim women from wearing revealing clothing took effect Thursday.

Islamic police will determine whether a woman's clothing violates the dress code, he said. [The Associated Press] Read more [via Butterflies and Wheels]
