Since it is about respect for the worship time, how is that related to Mary? No one is praying to the Pastor.

You aren't distinguish your CUSTOM from the hard requirements of the scriptures. CAN dress make a difference, yes. MUST dress make a difference, no!

One service I remember as one of the most worshipful I've been to was a Singspiration I visited in a little Baptist church in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They had a guy playing an electric guitar and wearing a Harley Davidson tee shirt! (It did have a nice eagle on it.) I didn't even pay attention to that; the Spirit focused us wonderfully upon the Lord.

That argument echos the arguments made about Mary. "Since Jesus is the sinless spotless Lamb of God it is reasonable that his mother would also be a vessel worthy to carry Him". That kind of reason was what I was reading in the dress code stuff.
