Reminds me of the story Larry the Cable Guy tells about carrying something in his arms in Walmart that blocked his view. He ran into something and when he finally saw what it was he realized he had run into a midget.
With genuine concern in his voice he asked the guy "Are you ok?, How are ya feeling?". To which the midget replied "Well I'm not happy!". To which Larry replied "Well then which one are you"?

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
