How would you define 'decent' dressing? Do you mean covering your whole body including your face like the Arab women?
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by gunit(m): 1:10pm On Nov 26, 2005
well idont tink a lady would dress indescent due to one tin or the other to me its the level of the girl/womans mentality[color=#990000][/color]
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by christyne(f): 4:54pm On Nov 26, 2005
U dont have to be like an Arab woman as said by seun b4 one can dress decently.Putting on a simple dress without any show off is a decent dressing.U cant compare a lady putting on a nice tube top with short with d one puttin on a simple trousers/skirt with a nice top,ok?
Abeg my frd, dressing different frm dressing,ok?
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by Seun(m): 5:30pm On Nov 26, 2005
The issue of what kind of person is decent and what kind is indecent varies from culture to culture, and person to person.

Which of the following do you see as being indecent when worn by lady?
- Men's trouser.
- Body-hugging trouser.
- See-through body-hugging trouser.
- Sleeveless blouse.
- Body-hugging blouse with a bra.
- Body-hugging blouse with an undershirt/singlet.
- Body-hugging blouse without a bra.
- See-through blouse with a bra
- See through blouse with an undershirt/singlet.
- See-through blouse without a bra.
- Mini-skirt.
- Blouse showing your bely-button
- Skirt with a long slit that shows your knees.
- Blouse that shows the tip of your cleavage.

Which of the above would you clasify as being indecent? Can we be a little bit more imprecise? Because you might be complaining that some other girls are dressing indecently, meanwhile others are looking at you thinking, "why can't christyne dress more decently?"
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by christyne(f): 6:26pm On Nov 26, 2005

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by tiwa(f): 1:06pm On Dec 07, 2005
Come off it seun. Would u marry a woman that dress like an Arab woman?
Dress normally i mean a nice pant (trousers) will do, with a good not too huggy and not too baggy top u get what i mean. seun for crying out loud what is wrong with sleeveless top?
I kind of agree with christyne, everyone dresses the way they want. I can wear a kind of jeans and someone else might complain it's too tight or sth u know we are different. I used to like mini skirts but no one stopped me from wearing it anymore......I decided 4 myself. Even though ma grandma used to complain... but then i didn't hearken to her but when i was satisfied i stopped. I don't like wearing skimpy things all 'cos i don't like it. Some other pple might like it for other reasons na dem sabi. My advice to them is that they should not wear skimpy clothes to Yaba/oshodi 'cos i am sure they will go back home with a baggy shirt.....lol. embarassed
it is not until u dress half naked that u will look good. there are different ways u cld look attractive and nice instead of going half naked ma sisters..........
Think about it

What exactly did I say to deserve that statement?
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by gem87(f): 7:38pm On Mar 29, 2006
the thing is dat in dis generation decency does not exist, wht is decent in the western world is aborminable in africa. wear bikini to the beach in the u.s it's decent even the thongs are acceptable even posin nude in magazines is becomin normal the world is changing. but if u put on a one piece bathing suit in naija u'll c 4 urself so i'll say style depends on the person and their location,
as for me miami or mallorca i ain't wearing no bikini my body is not 4 public attraction.

Our ladies are dressing comfortably. We can't answer the question "why are they dressing indecently" for as long as we don't have a common agreement/definition of what decent or indecent dressing is. DO WE?


That is Seun's point, which I agree with wholeheartedly "Decent dressing is a matter of interpretation" and I think we should leave it as that.

In some families in Naija and all over, even wearing any type of trousers by a woman is considered indecent, no matter how baggy it is.

The mantra of this generation is "As long as it is comfortable for you, O GA GOES!!!" And I think that makes more sense than us spending precious time that can be spent or more prouctive activities arguing what is decent dressing and what isn't,

I agree, the definition of decent is so subjective that we cannot debate on what decent dressing if until we can have an agreement on what decent means
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by mamaput(f): 4:51pm On Apr 01, 2006
Its not about what you ware . But how it looks on you.
my daughter and her best friend wore the same top.
No one said anything to my daughter but to her friend because she has big bubbs. and they were almost falling out.
I ware what i like some times nice some times bush some times mini yes at my age.
My kids have hidden some of my bush things mostly shoes.
In am slim and i have fine legs so i can show them.

You have a very valid point there
However do you think that there are some clothes out there that look aweful regardless of who is wearing it

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by mamaput(f): 8:41am On Apr 27, 2006
Take a löök at the clothes the catalog, they all look good on the models.
But try wearing them :
They was a time these Apron dresses were in fasion (these check dresses with bottons down the front) some thing a house wife will wear to do her house work . But on a model it looked different.

Hot pants are not hot pants.On every one
A wrapper on a white skinny woman is also not the best i mean tying wrapper is alos Arts, not just tying.
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by SvS(f): 6:24pm On May 01, 2006
aqua:

Any dressing that does not show bra, nipple outline, pantie outline, breast shape, ass shape is decent to me.

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by eveseh(f): 7:58pm On May 07, 2006

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by gem87(f): 7:59pm On May 11, 2006
decency is almost non-existent it all depends on location, simple n short!!!
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by kiki(f): 3:58am On Aug 11, 2006
i think anybody can dress anyway they want to as long as they feel confortable in it without gettin judged by nobody its their body and they culd do anythin they want to it as long as it doesn't affect nobody

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by Memunah(f): 10:37am On Aug 11, 2006
for a lady not to dress well depends on her mentality and it differs on every body perspective of not dressing decently.so wether u dress well or not depends on you personally
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by gem87(f): 10:46am On Aug 11, 2006
define "decently"
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by Memunah(f): 2:26pm On Aug 11, 2006
to me decently maybe in two ways;some may be dressing and covering all your body like a typical muslim or an arabic.or is either you dress casually without exposing your body.or wat do u think gem?
Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by gem87(f): 12:28am On Aug 12, 2006

Re: Why Are Our Ladies Not Dressing Decently? by mamaput(f): 2:24pm On Aug 12, 2006
Its jealous women and men that see something in the way a woman dresses.
Some men cannot control themselves and know that ladz is never for them.
Some women know that their Husbands or boyfriends can go for that girl dressed as they call it indecent.
As long as it fits. now what is indecent for me is a fat person in a mega mini and belly free top
