How Is A Christian Lady Supposed to Dress?

[Openly Curious]

How is a Christian woman supposed to dress?.....modest.

I'm going to put it out there kind of bluntly concerning modesty. It simply is keeping your private parts covered up the top and the bottom area. It's being humble going to the church service when you go to God's house of worship.

Out in the world you might want to do the flirting things that go on between a man and woman which is natural in nature for it to happen. But the church is the Lord's house and the Lord is your husband. The scripture used in the OP when taken in context of the chapter as a whole you will find that instructions are being given to men and women on how they should conduct themselves within a worship service and what we are to put our emphasis on. But it is rather odd to me that some folk eyes when it comes to scriptures they only get fixated on a women outward attire they are somehow blinded to the inward attire in which scripture is addressing by using the natural attire to teach women about putting on a spirit of humility which is in the sight of God of great price having goods works in other words she lives and does right in the eyes of God. A virtuous women would apply but what I'm talking about has nothing to do with clothing. But I'm in a different dimension I guess and I could care less how I'm labled for my views. Just speaking my mind bopeep to get my meaning clearly said and open the scripture further for the sake of good old discuusion. I just think somethings are backwards and the natural mind don't comprehend the things of the spirit as they are spiritually discerned. However I am against transvesdyke who dress in order to attract the same sex to themselves in order to lie with them sexually as such sexual relations are an abomination in the eyes of the Lord and is a deception against God's natural order being one man and one women. But that's a diiferent subject and I think somewhere in my words I've made my point on dressing modestly. blessings

I disagree.I think a woman should be dressed modest at all times.I am not into "flirting" things where a woman shows off her breasts to seduce a man.I have heard many women say "Well,I have it so I might as well flaunt it".I do not agree with this at all.

One could still flirt although covered from head to toe... Just saying

Absolutely, probably through alot of blinking of the eyes going on as one has to see.

I think it is possible to dress modestly, classy and elegantly without the sleaze or seduction, that is so popular in modern culture. Clothing can be attractive, contemporary and functional too.  As females I think we are pretty aware if we are wearing clothing that is drawing sexual attention or not. To me it feels shallow, manipulative and cheap.  Why would I want to get this kind of attention from any other male but my husband?  I especially would feel embarrassed and ashamed if I was drawing that kind of attention from another woman's husband and away from her.  As a Christian it is my will to but even I can't help but to dress with the Lord in mind at all times, and especially in Church. 

You are right there used to be some dresses and fashion that was actually more sexy than the apparel that they have now with 1/2 of the body showing.Just try to find it.I was looking for a modest dress to wear to my daughter's wedding a couple of years ago.I went from store to store to store.When I explained to the sales clerk that I would like to have something modest they looked at me like I had a third eye on my forehead.I finally found something after a very long search.

Some women not neccessarily in a church settings or because they are a Christian will dress in a seductive manner for the sake of their own husband's attention as they don't want their husbands being attracted to other women. But usually they don't see in the process that they will get other mens attention towards them and they may have other men come on to them. Not a wise thing to do.

The scripture passage in the OP mentions shamefacedness also. Sometimes this could mean the things we add in order to be more attractive such as makeup and jewelry which enhances a womens appearance or at least that is what it is meant to do. Men can be physically attracted to a women in the church worship service with these add on as well as having our privates parts top and bottom showing. Men are physically attracted to the beauty of a women so if our makeup and jewelry is causing physical attraction then we should consider not wearing it to the church worship service so this does not happen on any part of our own and we should go humble to church (shamefacedness) instead. Not saying make up and jewelry is a sin or wrong for a women to wear as I don't believe it is a sin. But I'm talking about something entirely different. Nor does makeup and jewelry have to do with modesty two different things altogether.

I agree I think a person in their manner of dress in clothing or the add on's they use (makeup and jewelry) know within their hearts if what they are choosing to do is right or wrong. Mostly the wrong way is chosen over the right especially in the days we are living in.

You never know, LadyKay; maybe THIS time it won't result in a knock down, drag out.  Maybe.

I have been married to a man who had a roving eye and believe me he would look at another women no matter what I had on.I have heard of instances of women being raped for wearing such seductive clothing.I do not wear a lot of jewelry but I know a lot of women do and I am ok with that.A woman should not call notice to herself to allow another person to stumble and fall.And in this day and age you could not only be attracting a man but another woman which I find creepy.

Well this Christian woman in the winter lives in jeans, t-shirts and boots.  In the summer capreas t-shirts and sandals.

What of the makeup and jewelry - do you wear makeup and jewelry in the wintertime and wear no makeup and jewelry in the summertime. Or just simple none at all kind of gal.

That is so true even in the church it could happen frightening indeed. It is important that these type of issues need to be understood in light of what the scriptures teach and the reasons why it is being taught but sadly most in these type of discussion have no "understanding" of the subject whatsoever.
