The church said that? Please provide a reference....this would be the best Christmas present ever

john, that was my own summary wording. The Church pointed people to the website about what to expect at a Sunday service.

That wording says that "typically" men wear suits and ties, women wear dresses or skirts, and children "dress up", but it says:

"You’re welcome to wear any clothes that you feel comfortable attending a church service in."

Dress standards at church certainly are an area where a LOT of people look well beyond the mark.

Where was the quote taken from?
Could you provide a link?

Sorry, forgot to include the link. It is from the Newsroom section @ lds.org. Here it is:

Scott Trotter is church spokesman and says what women wear is not specified:

"Attending Church is about worship and learning to be followers of Jesus Christ. Generally Church members are encouraged to wear their best clothing as a sign of respect for the Savior, but we don't counsel people beyond that."

Hey Bear, see the link in my reply to johnh, specific statement that there's no policy beyond 'sunday best'

A family member in the bishopric said the church has sent out a letter adding that women wears dresses. Wondering if our resident bishop can verify this for us? A bit of double speak on the church's part if they did
