I am correct that you don't know, and have limited information on this subject? Yet you know for certain the garments in "Biblical times" were the similar for both genders? Because this was what you have "read" throughout your life when you seen material on the subject? Did you ever consider that you might be wrong concerning this subject? That the difference between men and women's clothing in Judea and Israel were greater than we could even imagine? That even other groups around the Roman Empire also had strong differences in dress concerning male and female. That in Rome one needed to be dressed a certain way to indicate that status in the Empire.
Even homosexuals and prostitutes were know by their clothing, hence attire of a harlot statement found in
Proverbs 7:10.

What culture? The United States? Bosnia? India? When you say modern Pentecostal are you basically referring to the United States?

Do you believe that God doesn't care about differences in attire between males and females. Not even talking pants, but differences between genders? If cultural, let's say United States, then does man dictate to God what is masculine or feminine? Or the other way around?

So who is charge of what to wear?
God or man?
Also culture dictates how much clothes you need in public.
So in your view, how little is too little?
