I don't know Pergamum, To complicate her on her body sounds like something my wife and I would do.


TO ALL - Y'all are pathetic. Nit picking this to death. You know what modest dress is. Usually when people do not agree with modest dress, or try to haggle over the fine points of modest dress, they have ulterior motives, like their wifes don't agree, they like looking, or a host of other reasons. But I also know the ones on this thread, and how you just love to stir things up. (I won't mention any names Pergamum). Modest dress can take both Modern and Older forms. Personally, I like the older forms. When you see such a LADY, you can't help but think "Now there goes a religious woman who follows the Lord!" When I see most attempts at modest dress done by people who don't agree, I can read the "I'm a Liberal" from across the room.
