friendofJPII Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) I think some of those outfits on the "modbe" sight are very low cut! Not to graphic here, but most of their models are small busted, if you have a fuller chest and/or have a short torso you will show cleavage in those suits! Who are they kidding?

[/quote] Colors convey meaning....and I'm refering to women from Western cultures, primarily. Edited July 24, 2008 by friendofJPII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 +J.M.J.+ okay, you have your opinion, and i have mine. and ne'er the twain shall meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I understand... but I think your wording is incorrect. Wearing a black (or any other color) dress does not make a woman impure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmom Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 At my daughter's First Communion, there was one little girl who did not wear a white dress. She was wearing a powder blue dress with a powder blue veil. I had never seen anything like it in all the shopping I had done with my daughter. It was clearly a family heirloom and I'm going to guess that it went back more than one generation. Does this make this little girl less pure? Nonsense.

But I believe her mother erred in dressing her daughter in a way that differed from American, Catholic tradition. Like it or not, the little girl was drawing attention to herself, and that is not appropriate for a first communion ceremony where the attention should be on Christ in the Eucharist.

homeschoolmom Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 You said that a bride's purity is not [i]solely determined [/i]by the color of her dress. I would maintain that her PURITY is in NO WAY determined AT ALL by the color of her dress. As for the Communion girl... would you say the same thing to the parents of the one and only boy who wore a white suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 +J.M.J.+ if my girl wants to wear a blue dress to honor Our Lady, i'd be all for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
