A Distinction in Dress

The Bible very clearly teaches that women must not wear men’s clothing and men must not wear women’s clothing. In modern society, women wearing men’s clothing has become very common and normal. But it is not supposed to be that way. God forbids this! 

Deuteronomy 22:5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

“I saw that the God’s order has been reversed, and his special directions
disregarded, by those who adopt the American Costume.

“I was referred to Deut. xxii, 5. The woman shall not wear that which
pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for
all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.’

“God would not have his people adopt the so-called Dress Reform [the American Costume]. It is immodest apparel, wholly unfitted for modest, humble females who are Christ’s followers.

An influence is increasing to have women in their appearance and dress
as near like the other sex as possible, and fashion their dress very much
like the men, but God pronounces it abomination. In like manner also women
adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety.’ 1
Tim. 2:9.

Those who feel called out to join the movement of Women’s Rights, and
the so called Dress Reform, might as well sever all connection with the
third angel’s message. The spirit which attends the one cannot be in
harmony with the other.” [11 T 2].

I want to show you some pictures of the “American Costume” that Ellen White is talking about.

Ellen White’s comments on this wardrobe:
Immodest apparel
Wholly unfitted for modest, humble females who are Christ’s followers
God pronounces it abomination

Wow! If that is imodest and an abomination, then what does God think of the modern way of dressing?
