Do these people look as if they are dressing in Out Dated Attire, or do they look like happy Christians, who joy in serving God?

It's not to say I haven't seen them, but it's very rare. So suggesting that because someone believes in dress standards is out of date or unfashionable is not entirely accurate.

I apologize for making a broad statement that has offended. Honestly, I did not mean to offend and the pics that Miss Scarlett posted show beautiful people that are dressed modestly and in current trends. Please accept my apologies.
The point I was trying to make is that some are too concerned with how to appear different from the world. If we want to stand out that kind of goes against modesty in that it is immodest if we stand out too much. The skirt wearing women of the 1950's didn't stand out in an obvious manner whereas sometimes they do now.
I agree that we shouldn't tie certain 'holiness' standards to salvation and judge solely on hair/skirt length, make-up, jewelry, etc.
Again, I apologize for my insensitive comments.
