And during the 80's the girls still wore their jean skirts over their snow pants when we went skiing. It looked just ridicules.

I don't recall any specific examples or him preaching about it from the pulpit (although he probably did). It was just a given that you didn't watch or have a tv.
What is widely thought of as true and I don't doubt it is that Gunsmoke being on Sunday nights before DVR's caused the demise of most churches having a Sunday night service (non Pentecostal services of course). I have read that speculation from reputable sources. If true I think it was probably partially due to people just being burned out from two services on Sunday and wanting some down time to relax.

"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."
