Does a woman imitating a man in her dress incur the curse?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a woman puts her abaya on her shoulder to imitate men, is she cursed?

Answer:
She is to be feared regarding this; because this is a characteristic of men. Placing the abaya on the shoulders is part of men's attire; therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to imitate them.
Q: If a woman wears a cap and walks like men, is she cursed?
The Shaykh: If it is from the clothing of men, this is the rule: if it is among the specific characteristics of men, she is cursed.
