A hardliner? Not sure what you mean by that or it being fine for me, but if you think it is okay to wear a blouse that shows your bra or half your breasts is okay then yes, I must be a hardliner.

JB, I was referring to your opinions on White shirts, sorry if I was not specific enough.

And no, I do not believe it is okay for a woman to wear a blouse that immodestly shows off their breasts. I don't think you have to be a hardliner to agree with that. What I mean by hardliner is that I think you are living the letter of the law, and not the spirit of it, by taking what is advised to those who pass the sacrament and requiring it of everyone. I believe the spirit of the law is to come dressed respectfully. I don't believe this to mean that everyone has to dress the same, just that you should be dressed in a manner that is pleasing to the Lord. As I do think that dressing in a white shirt and tie would be pleasing to the Lord, I don't know of anywhere that it says dressing in a colored shirt is displeasing or inappropriate.

Personally, I think people should have common sense, we all should try to look simple but decent. Meaning clean and modest clothing. "Sunday best" does not mean fancy clothes as some people may interpret.

President Hinkley

Though this was given to the Priesthood I believe it applies to all members.

President Hinkley seems to be implying that our dress is a reflection of our actions. Or our actions are a reflection of our dress, I am not sure.

FASHION SHOW MAKES A STATEMENT FOR MODESTY
See https://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695266804,00.html

SPANISH FORK, Utah - When Kelsey Hiskey walked down the runway last week dressed in her white, ruffled wedding dress with her fiance, Jared Glenn, the point of the faith-based fashion show was clear--when young women wear modest attire through their teen years, they are creating a pathway to a temple marriage.

I always tell my girls (some of the young women at church) that if they want to value themselves then they will dress properly. If they don't think much of themselves then wear what they want. Its kind of reverse psychology but it makes sense for them.

We all should dress appropriately at church. Some of the posters have said that they thought that denim skirts and flip-flops are inappropriate for church, I can't say I have ever heard that. I will say that I think in the fifties and sixties flip-flops would be considered as not being dressed fully. But now days they aren't considered that way any more. I go to a Young Single Adult branch, and yes I see the young women wearing clothes that showoff their breasts, their mid-riff, or legs. So what is the solution to help stop this? One would be to have leaders talk both in a group, like young women's, or Relief Society, and in private, also it would help that men would compliment the women on their modest clothes.
On the same subject, it's not only women that should be dressed modestly, there's the fad of young men/boys, wearing baggy pants showing half of their boxer shorts, it's also culturally ok for men to go out without a shirt. We should be telling both the men and the boys of our church that they should be dressed modestly as well as the women.
