Simply Nicki: Looks fairly classy.



I have a friend who ministers in Africa. Women often go largely topless among some tribes. His wife, however, was upbraided for her immodesty and dressing like a floozy. Her crime? She wore shorts whereas all good women covered their thighs.

This does illustrate that we see things through our cultural glasses. There are indeed universal standards but we often have a hard time acknowledging how much culture does determine what is sin and what is permissible.



Coram Deo: When shopping for lingerie it is less of a danger to go there in person then to google any lingerie related terms. Beware the NET!
