I have had A LOT of conversations with a lot of people of many ages about modesty in dress. Someone just emailed me this regarding an upcoming homeschool dance.
Standards of Modesty in Dress
Imprimatur dated Sept. 24, 1956
"A dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat; which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows; and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knees. Furthermore, dresses of transparent materials are improper."
The Cardinal Vicar of Pius XII
Just so you know -- I can't think of a single summer dress I own that covers the arms to the elbows.
