What does the Bible say about modesty in dress for women?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible encourages women to adorn themselves in modest apparel with decency and propriety (1 Timothy 2:9).

The Apostle Paul directs women to dress modestly, highlighting the importance of decency and propriety in their appearance (1 Timothy 2:9). This modesty in dress is not merely about the clothes but reflects the heart's attitude towards God and the Gospel. It emphasizes that a believer's identity and virtue should not be defined by worldly fashions or costly attire, but by good works and a character that honors Christ. The emphasis is on being distinguished by modesty rather than the latest fashion trends, which can sometimes lead to pride or a lack of focus on spiritual things.
