• They describe a "five-second rule" that discourages negative comments if an outfit can't be changed quickly, though they admit pre-departure feedback is "pretty brutal."
• Krishna says she will tell her mom, "You can't wear that in public with me," while Lakshmi says her teen often encourages her to dress "more provocatively."
• Lakshmi adds that she frequently advises Krishna to dress less provocatively and voices concern over skirt lengths.
