It's appropriate to wear halter dresses to formal places like Church....if you cover up with a nice shrug or wrap. :) I don't go to church, but I'm still on the lookout for a cute, warm, thin knit, black bolero sweater that has a classic clasp in front (or hook eye enclosure). Plus it'll keep my arms warm on chilly summer nights without being too much. Another way to wear a halter.. would be to wear a thin tank top or a thin camisole underneath the halter. It may be too bulky looking - but no harm in trying, no? :) But still not appropriate for church - shoulders showing... Agreed!

I think it's too much skin, personally. I see these tops and they whisper "sexy"...I certainly don't think they belong in church, and I wonder if they belong anywhere other than at home for your comfort and dh's viewing pleasure. But I do know that I'm old-fashioned and not in the latest "fashion" know. I really love the looks of the dresses though, and if I had one, I'd wear it with a light cardigan-style sweater...something to hide my shoulders and back. My viewpoints on clothing and how we dress were really affected when I read Created to Be His Helpmeet. I had my eyes opened big time on how the way we dress affects the man in the pew behind us. We can't let ourselves "cause a weaker brother to stumble".

I had an apron style bodice dress for a friend's wedding and then a spag strap for sister's and not having to mess with a specialty undergarment is SO worth it (and I am more top-heavy than Susannah - it can still be done with the right cup and a good tailor).

I never would have thought of that. Especially with the ones that were already sort of a combination of print and solid, or like a border print. Thanks Oxanna! That would work!

Not too difficult, just hem a little triangle along one side and stitch it in. You could also sew in a little insert with a coordinating fabric.
