equity in modesty

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.

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.

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?

Vestments, yes. In fact, priests can have black jumpsuits with collar and alb and chausubles etc...

Wedding attire could be black and white jumpsuits. :)
