It’s a two potato sack affair. Here’s what you do…

Take one sack, and turn it upside down. Cut neck and arm holes. This is your shirt. Note: you must wear a turtleneck underneath (heathens :roll_eyes:).

Take sack number 2, and cut the bottom off. This is your skirt. Use plenty of safety pins. Note: you need to wear tights (Jezabels :roll_eyes:).

It must be a skirt. Pants are a near occasion of sin.

Shoes should be a sensible military style boot lest your ankles show. No heels (:roll_eyes::roll_eyes:)!

It is also recommended that you never leave the house. Problem solved.

I’ll just add to this that the sacks should also not be too fitted and not too short. I’m also of the opinion that the turtleneck should be long sleeved just in case the armholes are cut too loose… we don’t want any sneaky flashes.
 
This is so interesting. Why are some people so interested in modesty in this day and age as opposed to past decades and centuries? Have you seen how women used to dress in the 16th and 17th centuries? Could it be it is not so much about how women dress but the attitude they have underlying their clothing choices and the decisions they make? I don’t think people in religious circles talked this much about modesty prior to the sexual revolution. But that’s just my take.

Quite right. Long sleeves and loose fitting sacks otherwise you’ll be mistaken for a streetwalker! 😱

I always thought that both men and women are required to dress and behave modestly. I don’t get how women may dress more “appropriate” than men apart from the choice of clothing respective to gender (e.g a man wearing a dress is like… errm)
 
You’re right. We are all called to modesty and decency and chastity etc. We also don’t want to cause lust in our neighbour, hence the potato sacks.
 
Perhaps how we act is more important than what we wear. When I see an indigenous woman with no clothes on, I don’t immediately think, “My God, she’s so immodest.” It is their culture. However, when I see a woman dressed a certain way in this society, I do tend to wonder, “Who is she trying to attract?” Why is that? Could it be because our culture is hypersexualized?

Funny I have heard the opposite. It is women that have a harder time controlling their urges rather than men.
 
People didn’t talk about modesty back then?

You sure about that?

There is a reason why prostitution is considered the world’s oldest profession. Even back then prostitutes had to advertise their “wares” so to speak.

There was immodesty even back then.

Yes, people did talk or gossip about it.

Of course, both are called to be modest. However, women need to be aware that God gave
them a body that is meant to attact a mate. Men are more visually stimulated than women.

😒

Men need to maintain custody of their eyes and take responsibility for their own thoughts and actions just as women must maintain custody of their eyes and take responsibility for their thoughts and actions.

Men are just as capable as women are of self control. They are thinking, reasoning beings with a consciousness granted to them by God. They can control themselves. And women are likewise as impacted by lust as men.
 
Don´t forget Andreas´Musculuc war aginst immodest pants on men!

The good old Braguette was always my favorite in costume history, some sort of push up alternative for the fashionable men in the eraly modern times.
 
He was mad about it and published a whole load of modesty papers, for example against students who wore little shoulder furs with purple inlay (“like the electoral princes!”), against priests who wore short cloaks so that their braguette was better seen (“Oh my!”) and then, his “Hosenteufel” was published. Caused propably on of my most funny talks ever 👍😊

And vice versa. I’ve been around enough women in my life to know that a man’s physical attractiveness is pretty near the top of the list.
 
We have a lopsided preoccupation with the lustfullness of men. Women struggle with lust as much as men.
