CC1, what are you saying above? Are you saying there is little information on this subject, or that you were only able to find very little information regarding this subject? Yet you found information that says there was difference between male and female head coverings? Didn't men cover their heads in the scripture during mourning? David ascending the mount of Olives barefoot while covering his head weeping 2nd Samuel 15:30, Leviticus 10:6 Aaron instructions to his son not to uncover their heads to not show the sign of mourning for Nadab and Abihu who brought forth strange fire to the Lord.
Jeremiah 14:2-3 the servants being sent by mourning noblemen come to dry cisterns and cover their heads in shame. If the Hebrew Bible shines such a negative light on male head covering, why would it be a part of their attire of the men? Talmudic Jews will tell you that there is no Torah ordinance for a Jew to wear a yarmulke (Yiddish) kippah (Hebrew). I was taught growing up that the head covering of the yarmulke was to show mourning for the temple. |
EB, I mde my first statement about differences in their garments based on my memory. i could not recall specifically so did some research on the internet and that is why I said there is very little information I have uncovered. I am not saying there is not information out there but my limited search did not find it today. Here is a link to the site I quoted (however I looked at additional sites that pretty much had the same information)

Titus2woman on AFF
"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."
