Just a curiosity question....

So what did those "Conservative" churches do in 1942-47 when you could not buy a pair of Nylons do to The War?

Worldly women were painting lines up the back of their legs.

I can understand requiring them on the platform, but if the dress/skirt is to the ankles, who cares.

Worldly women? Church women, too, according to my mother, because otherwise it appeared that you weren't wearing hosiery, which was unacceptable.

Hence my "Worldly" statement. :-p
Why did they even have makeup in the house. LOL

some thoughts on women wearing hose,

I think it is a carryover from when women wore cotton stockings.

One OP preacher in our town preached that women were to wear stockings and if they couldn't afford nylon they should buy cotton stockings.

One of my earlier pastors preached that the women had to wear seam hose, with a seam running down the back of the leg. Now that caught my attention more than seamless, especially when the seam was crooked. Always wanted to help them straighten it out... JUST KIDDING! Not!

I have to tell you tho - another thing that is amazing me is how much shorter the skirts are getting. When I was in church last Sunday, 2 of the 3 praise singers had on skirts that were above their knees. I see nothing wrong with that as long as you have the legs for it and as long as you can keep all the other details from showing underneath

BT, there are things UNDERNEATH of a ladies skirt that should never be seen by the general public. I'm thinking you can imagine what that refers to If you can't, I'd rather not be the one to have to explain it. LOL
