BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVES FOR GODLY WOMAN DRESS So what are the Biblical standards for dressing for godly women? The answer is that a godly, regenerated woman can wear anything as long as it goes along with these biblical perspectives: (1) WELL COVERED: When you give your life to Jesus and living a new life in Him, you are not controlled by the world fashions sense, you are not dressing to belong or please yourself, you dress primarily to cover your body as a living sacrifice to God. Because you realize your body is a temple of Holy Spirit. Anything you wear must cover you well. How? Your skirts must reach below your knees; your shirts must well cover your breasts; any tops, gowns, etc. Your wears on top must not show the trace of your breasts if you bend down and your underwear must be under, not over. That is the meaning of well-covered dress. If a Christian woman wears a cloths that doesnt cover her knees, that the trace of her breasts can be seen, that people can see any of her under wears outside, she does not present her body as a holy temple of God, she is defiling God’s temple since she claims to be a child of God, and the punishment is serious. NOTE: Any dress you wear as a woman, on the top, that shows the trace of your breasts is the most sinful and ungodly dress of all. Those Christian women who wear such are under the trap of Satan, they are satanic agents of pollution, and the bad news is majority of Christian women are victims. (2) NO TRANSPARENCY: Any clothing you wear as a godly woman must not be transparent or evaporated that your under wears will be seen. Since the purpose of wearing clothes is the cover your nakedness, wearing transparent or evaporated clothes has defeated that God’s purpose in such womans life. Wearing transparent, evaporated clothes is an indirect nakedness and disobedience to God; it is as bad as half naked. As a Christian, godly woman, you are watchful of what you wear and how you wear them so that you are not disqualified by God just because of your dress-style. (3) NO TIGHT: If you are wearing skirts, gowns, shirts, native dress, self made, uniforms, whatever, where ever, it must not be tight. Wearing tight clothes that shows the shape and anatomy of your body to the world is also an indirect nakedness. You wear clothes to cover your body not to show your body shape. When the motive is to show the shape of your body then something it wrong, it is called inordinate motive. A godly woman does not dress to show the shape of her body, so body hugs and all sorts of tight clothing are ungodly and can lead to damnation and condemnation of one’s soul at the end.There is no how you will trouser as a woman that will not the shape and anatomy of your body especially your buttock,which can leads to the fall of many men,and you will pay for everything,that is why Jesus said in LUKE 17:1 CEB Things that causes people to trip and sin must happen,but woe to him through whom they come that is why God said in Deut. 22:5 - The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a womans garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God. though the verse does not specifically mentioned any dress,but trousers has been men dress from history. wowen started wearing trouser During World War I , women wore their husbands (suitably altered) trousers while they took on jobs previously assigned to men, and increasingly wore trousers as leisurewear in the 1920s and 30s. And for a period in the 1970s, trousers became quite fashionable for women. In the United States , this may be due to the passage of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which ruled that dresses could not be required of girls. Dress codes changed in public schools across the United States. In the early 20th century aviatrices and other working women often wore trousers. Actresses Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn were often photographed in trousers from the 1930s. During World War II, women working in industrial work in war service wore trousers, and in the post-war era trousers were still common casual wear for gardening, socialising, and other leisure pursuits. In Britain during the Second World War , because of the rationing of clothing, many women took to wearing their husbands civilian clothes to work while their husbands were away in the armed forces. This was partly because they were seen as work garments, and partly to allow women to keep their clothing allowance for other uses. As the mens clothes wore out, replacements were needed, so that by the summer of 1944 it was reported that sales of womens trousers were five times more than in the previous year.According to wikipedia on history,you can click on this link to read more en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_wearing_trousers_in_the_Western_world_after_19 00and ask says Woman begin to wear trouser when A Fashion revolution took place around the time of the French Revolution (1789-1804) and Napoleon Bonaparte (1804-1815), with Napoleons wife Josephine.

I will implore us to listen and read Gods word because it is All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. (2 Timothy 3:16) (4) NOT EXPENSIVE: Either a woman or a man, as a child of God, Bible directly warns us not to buy, wear expensive clothing, not because you can’t afford it but because you are a Christian, modest. Christianity is all about modesty, meaning showing little about your self, your financial capacity. You don’t buy clothes by the reason of your financial capacity; you buy clothes by the reason of modesty. Wasting money on expensive clothing and accessories is un-biblical. Our modern preachers can tell you opposite but here is what the Bible says, “in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,” 1 Timothy 2:9. Costly clothing is unbecoming for a heavenly conscious woman. Then how can we measure costly clothing and every other thing we buy? Simply apply the principle of moderation: (I) ask yourself why you want to buy it for that price, are you buying it for its quality, for ego, to class and prove your financial level? Or because it is the reigning fashion and you want to belong? (II) Ask yourself if you can get another clothing of same quality with lesser price. Then let the Spirit of God guide you. God knows our intentions and thoughts, so we can’t deceive Him. GOOD MOTIVE BAD MANNER = CONDEMNED PERSONSome women claim that they wear any clothes with pure motive, without any bad motive to seduce. If you have a pure motive and you don’t care the about manner you express that motive, it is a sin. If your pure motive is generating un-pure thoughts from those who see you then you have become the source and cause of un-pure thoughts. When you are a child of God, you show God’s glory, people see you and see Christ not otherwise. Some say they wear what they want to wear, and if it affects any man, such man should close his eyes. Such statement should not be from a regenerated person who is a child of God, because (1) closing eyes will only lead the world into darkness, but a child of God is a source of light, to help open the eyes of the people in darkness, it is not to close the eyes of people into deeper darkness. (2) A child of God dresses to edify not to instigate lust or shows self.
