Most times during the festive occasions, we wear clothes that would also match the party affair that happens after the church ceremony. Hence the dresses represent a bold design with much of party lines. This is however not acceptable for the church decorum.

Church authorities are insistent that one maintains a lady like style yet have all the elements of decent dressing.

Style for a person is different from the other. Make a wardrobe assortment for church dresses. The easiest coordination comes in pant suits or long length dresses. One can also resort the easy mix n match opportunities with jackets, suits and shirts.

Hats and stoles are not totally out of fashion but one will need to work on the entire ensemble. Again clothing needs to match up the weather. Hot climates call for cottons, chiffons or crepe. Monsoon has its own disadvantages and here the footwear is of prime importance.

Another facet is the accessories section. Too much of bling seems loud. The church is a place to find peace and seek blessings. Though dressing well is important to respect all occasions and the best way to feel good, over doing any kind of fashion statement will not work well.

Conservative dressing does not mean out of fashion clothing. Look at the styles in skirts and patterns. Choose long printed dresses for summer spring times and use relaxed footwear. One could always carry other clothing in a bag in the car for the party thereafter.

Vintage style is lace and might not suit all of us. The elderly have a careful collection of vintage items and silks are good for inners or camisole tops. Go for browns, rust, beige and also cream for the Sunday mass. Use minimum make up concealer and not too bright a lipstick. Most times the natural look with lip balm does suit day times.
