But she didn't say that. She said she wouldn't wear any of the things on your rather specific list. And neither would I. And in 44 years I never have. You didn't say "swimsuit", you said "bikini"- I've never worn anything but a one peice and never will. You didn't say "gown", you said "ball gown"- ditto. You didn't say "workout shorts", but you did say "belly shirt", another thing I've never worn but would never wear. It's unfair to put list A in a post and then assume that if somebody will never wear anything from list A )and I wouldn't either), they will therefore never wear anything from any other situational list you then make up.

I guess I'm not seeing how this relates. There are places that certain clothing is appropriate. I don't see why a belly shirt would be necessarily inappropriate at a football game, even if it would be wholly inappropriate at church.

Just substitute "you" for "one".

Well, there's where we differ.

I've been following this debate understanding your point, but here is what I don't agree with - a belly shirt is okay to wear to a football game if one is a spectator, but not if one is a cheerleader? So you don't think that guys aren't going to ogle (ha, that's a word my mom uses!) your girls b/c they are sitting in the stands? Just b/c they aren't on display in front of the crowd with all eyes on them doesn't mean they are any less sexually suggestive?

I don't care what the style is, I wouldn't let my girls wear them anywhere - performing or not. I guess I'm a prude.

So, basically, whether or not the belly shirt is allowed has little or nothing to do with whether it is appropriate or not, when speaking of cheerleaders.
