And I also saw Goss's comments as speaking more to being fashionable and not drab. Had nothing to do with the issue of modesty. Hard to believe he would advocate less than modest dress. Especially in that day when such dress was still "socially" unacceptable.

So if Goss approved the wearing of jewels by the women in the movement, at which juncture along the way did jewelry become forbidden?
