I agree that dresses are easiest and prettiest. However, my point was that if you are really going to obey what Peter said you would NOT wear dresses:

 

1 Peter 3:1 In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

   2as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

 

   3Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

 

   4but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

Most holiness churches teach that women should wear dresses only. It's based on the idea that women should not wear men clothing. The Amish probably follow Paul's teaching best. Of course, there are Amish who are proud or who like to gossip. I know quite a few Mennonite ladies who faithfully cover their hair in church but who are also very bitter and unforgiving. Can't win them all.

 

Here's something ironic. I like to wear dresses to work. It's so simple becaue I don't have to think about whether my outfit is coordinated. I just put on a dress and a cardigan and that's it. Then one day, I overheard someone say I only wear dresses because of my religion. Oy vey! I started to vary my wardrobe a little after that.

 

Love,

 

Caroline
