I have a special nickname among my friends-modesty nazi. I think that ladies who pursue holiness need to cover it up. So many times I find myself appalled at what women wear to church...to CHURCH. Most of these women want attention-the wrong kind at that. Instead of using our looks, we should do good works.
Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. (1 Timothy 2:9, 10 NASB)
BarlowGirl has a song that deals with this issue:
Clothes aren’t what they used to be
They don’t seem to fit you and me anymore
Modesty is out the door
Flaunting what we’ve got and more is in
Yeah it’s in
They’re saying
Don’t ask why just wear what we say
You’ll look like a model if you’ll only obey
To get the attention, just do what we say
Pay so much for clothes so small
Was this shirt made for me or my doll?
Is this all I get?
I looked so hot but caught a cold
I was doing just what I was told
To fit in
We’re saying let’s ask why
Don’t wear what they say
Don’t want to be a model
They can’t eat anyway
That kind of attention will fade with the day
So I’ll stand up and say
Clothes that fit are fine
Won’t show what’s mine
Don’t change my mind
I'll be fine
