I've been to those churches before and it really doesn't work. Many in those churches have a covering but it isn't of the Lord. It is a tradition of men and religion that drives it and well, it can be seen. You'll have women wearing skirts and blouses so tight that it leaves nothing at all to the imagination. You can see their panty lines. Same with some men. They look like they are straight out of an 80s rock video with the skin-tight jeans. Then they got their shirts tucked in to make sure they give all us gals a good show.
Truth is modesty is all in the heart. If you are not a modest person you can make anything unmodest. I would rather wear my above-the-knee skirts and modest pants/shorts than put on a show at church to try to get attention in a skin-tight-fitting skirt or dress. While thinking I'm hiding my intentions from the Lord.
So I guess that's the answer...God sees our hearts and knows our intentions.
PS...My dad always said that men with little weak puny arms come up with the rule that men can only wear long sleeves. He said they were jealous of other men and embarrassed to show their own arms...lol

Well our bible college makes pastors and missionaries so they say they teach professionalism. You gotta wear a tie too and shave. We also don't watch tv. It's just a school rule on the tv to most but you get an ardent brother or two who say even christian movies are wrong. I personally have non christian movies though my wife is a fan of hallmark and Christian movies.
You would think it peculiar because you've never been among Transgender communities much. You don't know how society dehumanizes them. You would not have worked for their relief. There is a huge population of them in India. So, what is peculiar and strange to you isn't to us. We see them everyday when we commute by train, by bus. So, it's not that strange to us.
In samoa they have faafine
It is quite common. Because of small popularion and they need more girls.
Its actually encourgaed by the families/parents.
But then in China they killed baby girls, female infanticide is very common.
In the Bible it was Hebrew baby boys.
When babies are born usually they are just wrapped in cloth, no matter what gender they are. its only when they reach a certain age that parents start dressing them in 'girl' clothes and 'boy' clothes although the clothing manufacturers have started differentiating them from very young, as theres a market for 'boy' colours and 'girl' colours, usually pink for girls and blue for boys. bit never used to be like that.
Chritening gowns were always the same white colour and used for both boys and girls.

I think it's important to consider not only what is considered modest but also what makes you feel comfortable and confident.
In terms of finding modest clothing, I recommend checking out bellabarnett.com. They have a great selection of feminine and decent clothes that could be perfect for your group. They have a wide range of skirts and dresses for women. It's always worth taking a look and see if there's something that catches your eye.
