Is it merely a question of covering up a certain amount of skin and certain regions, or is it also a question of not being too tight? Just how fitted can a garment be before it is immodest?<br /><br />These are the questions one would have to answer before deciding on which "stylish" clothes would be acceptable to wear.<br /><br />Arguably, a long skirt and a long sleeved and a high necked, fairly loose blouse ought to be the minimum for a Christian woman to wear for sufficient modesty. And a head covering, especially for married women.<br /><br />Arguably.<br /><br />Who decides what is modest?<br /><br />And when did Christian women lose their tradition of wearing head gear?<br /><br />Possibly we ought to look more like the muslim women.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-33724201878639920242012-02-28T03:13:35.695+01:002012-02-28T03:13:35.695+01:00Who are these women hiking & climbing trees in...Who are these women hiking & climbing trees in jumpers?

It's about saying, "Dear, modesty is a virtue, but it can be taken to extremes. You know how the boys keep going after those tramps in high heels? Those aren't really tramps; those are just girls who dress well." <br /><br />I think it is shocking to encourage young women who want to be wives to dress in outfits best suited to five year olds.Seraphichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251504033428511090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-39214100201589882732012-02-24T20:21:23.674+01:002012-02-24T20:21:23.674+01:00I don't wear jumpers, but I also don't fee...I don't wear jumpers, but I also don't feel the need to play fashion police for those who do.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221464682706193091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-42006360558729638762012-02-24T20:19:14.175+01:002012-02-24T20:19:14.175+01:00Say what you want about jumpers but they are incre...Say what you want about jumpers but they are incredibly functional. You can carry two purse loads of stuff in the pockets and you can climb a tree,go hiking,run from a mugger or haul a couple of kids around wearing one.
