That used to be true (in my experience), but I don't see that as much any more.

I attended the UPC from the early 80 to till I was 18. So I saw the end of the 70's fashions when many of the women looked like Mrs Lundstrom (Of the group "The Lundstroms"). The huge hair with some literally putting the oatmeal containers under their mighty piles.
As the beehive hairdos were ending, it saw the rise of the might poofs, which to the best of my knowledge are still around.

Re: Did 1st century christian women "stand out"?
Who says we HAVE to keep up with culture? Isn't the fashion world lead by Hollywood? And we all know where that goes!
I don't get it.
If women wore dresses and long skirts ( and NOT pants) way back in the day...and that was "culture"...and many many years later all that changes...well.... I want to know what spirit led that change?
We all know who the "god of this world" is.
I believe in modesty inwardly and outwardly. I know there are dresses and skirt that are NOT modest. I don't feel "bound" by rules and standards.
I don't believe I could please my Lord all the while dressing in a manner that reveals too much of my skin or bodily shape lest Satan use me to tempt others! I've seen apostolics who don't follow standards in their church and they are wearing so much skin revealing clothing...low cut shirts that show cleavage...and I just don't get it!
I personally don't wear pants. Im not sure I can see that pants for women are modest. Sure, it covers you up but unless you like them baggy (which MOST women do NOT) it still shows your figure and shape. All this "keeping up with the Joneses" in our apparel is so vain! I don't care for the latest fashions. Yes i agree, that our love for one another should be what others notice. But what about our love for our precious King? Shouldn't that also be something that others see in us? ...."for man looketh on the outward appearance"..... I don't want to wear what everybody else is wearing. (Nor do I dress too old fashioned or even modestly "flashy") I don't want to look like the world. I want God to reflect through me in ALL that I do. I want to be an example of love. We are a "peculiar" people. A special people belonging to a One True God.
