It is summer time now and many ladies I've seen wearing sleeveless, back less and or blouses that they call it spaghetti because of that tiny little thing use as strap and that's it. I for one is very uncomfortable to wear those kind of attire in public. I usually do that at home.. hahaha but in public? much more in church? How do you feel about it? I know it's hot now but.. going to church with that attire? with that attire? do you think?

Hello again bebs, we have different costumes on different occasions. There's what we call "sunday dress" because it would be intended usually on out church affiliation.
I think wearing backless or spaghetti style dresses for a women would not be the appropriate in our church services. The Holy Bible is against with that. That's not of a real christian teachings.
Why is it that if we have appointment with most influential person or higher person in the society or being invited to a big parties we would wear our best dresses? But, if we're going to attend on our church services we would just wear whatever we wish to wear without thinking if it would be appropriate or not on the occasion..

You know what Bebs, I think there must be one reason why they would do that. They must have to know what is the right and true God service. If they would know that I think that issue would be lessen rather than rampantly doing it without knowing the importance of real God service. It is because not all church services are acceptable to our God. There is only one according to His will not the will of the people. And where you find and know it? It is officially written in the Holy Scripture..
I can state it to you separately from this post if you want to know Bebs..thanks for the nice topic..Keep it up

I don't wear that kind of attire either, not in public and certainly not in church. Most people will say come as you are to church that God doesn't care what kind of clothes you wear, but I believe we still need to be respectful and dress decent in God's house. I for one wouldn't be comfortable in clothes like that to wear anywhere..haha.

I agree with you. God sees the heart not the clothes when we enter the church. But when we wear indecent attire in church and tempt people to sin because of our appearance, that is not good. We are the same friend. I am not comfortable to wear that kind of clothing in public.

hi Bebs if you turn away the lest of them you turn away me. think of that a bit. At least they are in Church. Where I live in California we often have very hot summers.A lot of women come to church in our Churches in sundresses of some sort and nobody says anything asits hot outside.They are in dresses not shorts, and they look pretty and neat and comfortable too. I think they will get the pastor's sermon better if they are not too hot from dresses up to the neck and down to the shoe tops.

bebs every one has skin for goodness sakes you surely do not expect in a waRm climate for us women to wear long sleeves and skirts down to our shoe tops, we are respecting the reverence in the church just fine but
without having heat strokes.no I will save no bare backs thats out, but most sundresses I have seen our friends wear are modest. this is now
2010, not 1810. People dress acording to modern styles and yes all the people that I know who wear sundresses are pillars of the community,not street walkers,nor other garbage.Maybe our American customs are not yours but respect our rights to our customs as we respect yours to dress with out one inch of skin showing.if this is your custom fine, I respect it but also respect my customs too.And for your information the pastor himself wears a short sleeved shirt. and so what? we respect him and he also respects his congregation.Nobody turns their heads to stare at us
'as we all pretty much dress alike.

I used to see ladies wear that kind of clothing attire in the church. But I can honestly say that they should not do it because it's a bit vulgar or not decent to wear clothes like that. They only attract unwanted stares from other people and they could not see that people were talking about their unpleasant behavior with the kind of clothing.
The church is a holy place the ladies should wear clothes in a formal manner. A jeans or skirt with a blouse to match will do. It's not a party that anybody can wear sexy clothes and much more mini skirt. I think ladies will have to change their frame of mind first.

I have not qualms or against it since it is already modern ages as long as the person wearing does not really reveal too much like having a plunging necklines or too revealing outfit still tolerable. The person manner is one things i could not tolerate like doing some inappropriate activities when it suppose to be the place of worship and nothing else.

I am from the old generation. We wore pant suits once to church after a morning service at a camp ground and was asked not to come back dress in slacks. The seventy's short dress with sleeves and half way down the thigh, long pants under this.

Human Beings are created in the Likeness, and Image of God. God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden completely naked. Its very Obvious that God is very happy with His Perfect Human Bodies. Do you believe that God has made a mistake? God has been around for a Very long time and has Never made a mistake before! Would there, Could there, Should there, be a better place to celebrate God's perfect creations, (the Human Body) than in his House (Church(?

Hi, Bebs08. I think that wearing this is very inappropriate. I would never wear this to church. If I wanted to wear a tank top like this, I would make sure that I wore a thin blazer over it. I don't want all of my back showing while I am in church. It is bad enough that people are already looking at me as it is. I don't want to give them anymore reason for them to stare at me. It is hot outside, but this shirt should not be worn in church. At our church, we wear jeans and many other types of casual clothing. But I would not wear a backless blouse or thin spaghetti strap tank top.

Hi Bebs~ I think I would tend to agree with you that even though
that it is pretty hot now that I wouldn't feel that it is
appropriate to wear something backless to Church myself. I
don't know if someone else who is younger than me would feel
uncomfortable in the hot weather or not. I guess it depends on
the Church and the people in it if they have a problem with it.

hi there bebs.
i notice this too. there are a lot of those who go to church and dressed inappropriately.
i don't want to sound conservative, but one must know what is proper decorum. dressing up like this is not so proper.
makes me want to ask these girls personally: will 1 hour of mass kill you if you don't dress up like this?
come on, one doesn't need to be smart to know this. it's common sense. argh!
and you are right, even if the weather is hot, this is not really appropriate.

I don't think that wearing something backless or sleeveless would be appropriate attire for church. it is not something I would reccommend or wear myself. Nobody wants to see someone's bare back or bare arms while they are congrgated to worship God. There is a need for respect wven in clothing choises.

Would mind wearing stuff like that when I'm going out somewhere, to the beach or to weddings or parties but definitely not to Church!!! So I may not be the pious- god-fearing kinds but I do have some etiquette and common sense about these kinda things. Even if I do wear something low or revealing, I make sure I cover myself and I'm dressed decently when in Church at least!! I've seen several girls wear skimpy stuff to church and that just shows their lack of respect to anything sacred! A place of worship should be just that, not a fashion show!!!

I don't think it is proper to wear backless or inappropriate clothing in church. It can be very disturbing if people are seeing you dressed inappropriately but I think wearing sleeveless is fine, since there are a lot of sleeveless blouses that looks really formal and appropriate unless one is wearing a sleeveless that should be worn in the beach. I think we need to look pleasing in the eyes of God during worship day.
