Baby is sleeping, so I will try and get this done real quick
Grew up with standard moderate dress. Head covering on Sunday, but no plain or super modest dress.
In my teens began to take notice of the Old German Baptist Brethren in our area.
Was intrigued by the beautiful dresses.
In my 20s, I started looking into head covering full time more.
This of course led into looking at wearing dresses/skirts more.
The last century has seen changes in female dress that had never been seen in history before, and I was intrigued by that.
I love period dress
but it is not practical for everyday, or for work.
As tends to occur, I swung very hard to the other side of the pendulum.
I adopted the OGBB dress, and over time moved more towards Old Order Mennonite.
Maintained a mix of that for many years.
After moving to Alaska, I slowly moved into a more modern skirt and blouse variety, along with jumpers.
Today, my closet has jumpers, skirts, and now a fancy pair of flared jeans that I wear with shorter dresses.
I want to state that no where in Scripture, does it say that women are not allowed to wear pants.
There is a verse that makes mention of breeches for the priests, but guess what? That was their underwear, worn under there tunics, so that if upon entering the Holy of Holy's they were to be struck dead, they would not be exposed when being drug out
The verse that talks about men and women not wearing that which pertaineth to the other?
Well, men are not to wear the woman's head covering, and women are not to take on the warriors armour.
Bike shorts! Just about every "fulltime" skirt wearer has a set of cute fitted shorts. And for winter, I like 3/4 to full length leggings
