theculturewarrior Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 I think there must be a fair way to ensure that everybody dresses modestly, both men and women. Right now, I favor the 1984 approach. We should all wear jumpsuits. Or better yet, yellow jumpsuits, like in Bottle Rocket. A jumpsuit would be much more feasible than my other idea, because if we all wore birqas, we would swelter. A jumpsuit can be any color and of a material that breathes. For church, we would need a nicer jumpsuit. I'm not quite sure how that would work, though.
Aloysius Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 girls are supposed to dress differently from boys. our clothing ought to reflect the reality that while we are equal in human dignity, we are fundamentally different and should be distinct in our appearance. for more on the issue, check out Sacred Scripture where St. Paul writes to Corinth.
homeschoolmom Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 Soooo... blue jumpsuits for boys and pink for girls? Silver and gold for mass?

Aloysius Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 fiddlesticks! you know I was scouring cafepress for a bandanna... I so would've tricked it up with like a simple brown cross image... it would've been awesome.
avemaria40 Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 haha, great idea TCW and no one would complain about fashion since we'd all dress the same, thus ridding the world of vanity:):) however, wat would u do for wedding dresses and would the preist still keep his vestments?
homeschoolmom Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Vestments, yes. In fact, priests can have black jumpsuits with collar and alb and chausubles etc... Wedding attire could be black and white jumpsuits.
homeschoolmom Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 One piece outfit... Think coveralls... zips up the front.
homeschoolmom Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 Well, I was thinking biker boots.... but footies might be nice.
Aloysius Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 bandanas for girls! bandanas for girls! and guys should have crazy black hats that are round on top and you can use to sneak a subway sandwhich into a movie (like my hat!) but they have to take them off to pray of course.
homeschoolmom Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I'll wear a bandana (now that you've spelled it right) if you wear the funky hat.
Aloysius Posted July 18, 2005 Posted July 18, 2005 I wear the funky hat! I take it off in Church and for dinner and for praying and for being inside. girls should do the opposite with their bandanas well, maybe not EXACTLY, with eating and inside/outside... but with Church!
