I guess we all know/have our standard definition of decency, having established that fact:
____ As women, should we change the way we dress once we get married?

For some women, fashion is about self -expression and as such, they shouldn’t lose dominion over their own personal style because of their walk to the altar. Changing the way they dress is seen as changing who they are. Furthermore, a husband should respect the wife’s decision to dress how she wants. That’s what he was attracted to in the first place, right?

Sometimes I see people say, a single girl is dressed like a married woman/mother of two...bla...bla...bla OR they say a married woman doesn't 'look married' (this could be a compliment/insult- depending on the situation/context it's being used)

I wanna know, is there a certain way a married woman/mother is expected to dress, (given that we all know what is decency)?

Should women change to a more demure style of dressing once they’ve said their vows?

Modesty should be the most important thing. As a married woman,flaunting skin is a NO-NO or wearing extra tight clothes. She should be decent in her appearance and dress her age. Not dressing like a 16year old or a 50+

Remember,the way one dresses is the way he would be addressed.

And what if I want her to flaunt the skin to make her look sexy for me like she did when we were dating nko?

I feel if your dressing is good enough to get you married to your husband, it should be enough to keep you in your marriage.

The issue of changing dressing has ruined many marriages.

Some women think "married women should tie Wrapper, wear only skirt and blouse and never wear fitted clothes".

Other women believe you should be fashionable in marriage even more than you were as a single woman.

The bible did say we should do things in Moderation, even our dressing.

I have male friends who have confessed that they could cheat once their wives stop being attractive, ie being stylish and fashionable.

If your fashion as a single is decent and moderate, why will you want to change that, to tie wrappers?

Your fashion and style does not have to change if it is decent, except for a woman who dressed seductively and wants to change due to marriage.

Marriage doesn't change a H.oe though, there is no point making a H.o.e a house wife.

sammoe:

your head is there jare. Why should a wife change her dressing upon marriage. If it's good enough for her as a spinster,then she should by all means go on with it. I understand stuff like the single/double wrapper ish.
If your wife showed cleavage before marriage, she should continue o...

Jennimma:

your wife is your property and not the public. Her body is for your eyes only and not for other men to feast on it. She can dress sexy,even bare it all for you indoors. But outside,she should portray decency. Let her buy clothes that accentuate her shape and all.

If she dressed sexy before you married her,she must stop it now she is married. She is now a role model to her children esp. daughters. Some kids be like "mum wears short gowns,why won't I?"
More reason why there are rape cases. Catch my drift?

kennygee:


Abi, na wetin make you marry her be that now.

Wellsaid dear. @previous post.
We not talking about baring bust and butt now. I mean examples like what you sited.
__Tying two wrappers.
___Tying gele
__always on skirt....things like that.

sammoe:

if dressing 'sexy' is unacceptable after marriage, why is it acceptable before? To ensnare ignorant men?
P.S. One can still dress attractively without being 'sexy', 'scandalous' i.e showing unnecessary skin.

You've got male kid friends(by their words).A woman should not stop being fashionable though.

The one I don't understand is why heavily pregnant women have to wear all this skimpy gowns when sitting properly because of the pregnancy will always be an issue.I see them when they come for antenatal and they can't just sit well.

I think the use of 'attractive' in your statement is wrong. A married woman should look as perfect as possible no doubt, bt decently. What is she attracting!!!

Jennimma:

it aint by force. If you don't feel "you" tying wrappers and gele,don't do it. Moreover,ankara is now fashionable. One can make jumpsuits,trousers,shorts and gowns with it.

sammoe:

Being 'attractive' doesn't always equate to 'attracting'. I used it in the same vein as 'good', 'pleasant', 'well-dressed'...
Most women want to look good.
My point is that you can look good without being 'sexy' or provocatively dressed.
