Like some of us wore to gym class. (When we walked five miles to school)
The one-piece gymsuit. This model actually looks pretty good in hers. Most of us didn't!!! I had my name embroidered on my gym suit. Mine also had a belt...I hated wearing it!:

Ohhh, please don't take me back to those awful days of bloomers and gymsuits.
Back in the day, we weren't allowed to wear jeans, or even dress pants, to school.
It wasn't considered ladylike.

Key West High finally allowed girls to wear pants when we got a cold snap (50's in the Keys is cold) the winter of 1970.

Sorry I was raised in the south I wear a dress to church and A funeral home. Husband can wear a tie but doesn't need a jacket and less it's cold. It's just personal opinion way I was raised not going to change this late in my life My grandfather would roll over in his grave if I Had on pair of pants to church.

"The times have changed" when it comes to dress. Many men wear shorts and golf shirts to church (about 1/3 at NCUMC). You see a number of casual slacks and open collar shirts and finally a few sport coats and ties. Women dress casual and. wear anything they feel comfortable in. Very Casual is the style in The Villages.

Ballroom dancing--- no clue. "Other" dancing on square or at Rec Center very casual.

I doubt God cares what you wear to church. He just appreciates it if you show up. In my humble opinion.

I am happy to hear what justjim & Barefoot shared and totally agree. If it was up to me I would only wear shorts & a golf shirt for the rest of my days. I refuse to wear a tie ever again. I recently went to church after a small break of 25 years to lite a candle and pray silently for a friends wife who was ill. I was there in shorts and God answered my prayer. What a feeling to step into church again, it was great. I made a deal with the big guy that day and will be attending church once I arrive in TV. That was my offer & I intend to follow thru.

Nucky, I believe God considers your shorts and a golf shirt, after 25 years, to equate to formal wear. We have many wonderful churches in TV. I'm sure He will welcome you in any of them.

I was OK shortly afterward. I'm just glad that bolt of lightning missed me. Whew!

You are in the hot south, casual is the main dress code around here in Florida. Will you see shorts, dresses, coats and ties at the same event...yes! It's pretty much dress however you like, whatever makes you feel comfortable.

I like dressing up for church, my grandma alway made me wear my Sunday best. Even today when in church I think of my grandma which by the way raised me till 12 when she died at 65.

[graciegirl]

We see casual everywhere, comfortable, short hair is the norm so it won't blow in your face in the golf cart. AND...wrinkles. Lots of those around on dear faces. AND of course young-er and so beautiful too.

That possibly explains why the bushes beside the front door of First Presbyterian in Michigan caught on fire as my husband walked through after his short 50-year hiatus.

CF - tell me it ain't so. Probably just old wiring- in the church, I mean!
