I agree with the overall concept of modesty and moderation, and "decorating" ourselves with good works rather than what we wear. I'm just not convinced that the meaning of the passage is that specifically wearing those materials or wearing a beautiful dress is sinful! It's pointing out traditionally decorative items, and saying that good works is the preferable adornment for a woman. I agree with that principle.

MB, specifically, and to his audience, do you know what Paul was addressing?
We know the Apostles didn't just start scratching together lists of rules. So what is going on that he's making these remarks? Any idea?
