Sheet for Tznius (Ohel on Shabbos)

I try to put a sheet over myself while dressing and undressing for tznius purposes. On shabbos am i making an ohel?

Answer:

No, wrapping yourself up with a sheet will not be a problem.

Although some poskim discuss the possibility of a wide-brimmed hat constituting a problem of ohel, this is only a concern for ‘hard’ hats, and there is no such concern concerning draping a sheet over yourself.
