    As recommended by the Wife of Noble Character. Now, back to the bible!

    Where can I get one of these dresses?

    I love it! Especially the “by Black&Decker”.

    While a most practical idea (probably from Susannah Wesley), it soon led to major church overhaul … widening the aisles, spreading out the pews between them, and adding more pews. Also they had to make newer models for the “more than two infant” mothers.

    Starbucks!

    …and probably green bean casserole!

    Can I find one with a toy/coloring book holder and child handles so toddlers can tag along?

    for Dress 2.0, B&D needs to build in an access panel for a scooter handle, or better yet, Segway! I mean, have some pity on mom.

    Nice dress… but Starsky and Hutch are on their way to arrest her and get Huggy Bear’s hat back.

    I see this woman can stand to have a bigger quiver. Two is at best a good start.

    And, Bereanwarrior, I think it is gratifying to see that she is in conformity with I Corinthians 14 and keeping her head covered when attending church, unlike the brazen women of today who shamelessly pray uncovered in the presence of angels.

    Is it Scotch Guarded?

    That is just the basic dress. There are more elaborate models, such as diaper/air bag incase someone else’s child from the pew ahead of her is “slain in the spirit” they can bounce back to the parents, a fan on hot days, and that is underneath, and a pouch for her copy of “Purpose Driven Dress”.

    In a seeker-sensitive church, you wouldn’t need most of that. There is a multimedia system for your hymnal, a 2 acre fun park for your kids and coffee holders in the stadium seats. You sure won’t need a Bible…uh…for obvious reasons. The tissues might come in handy to wipe off your brow after jumping up and down in unison to the beat of the secular band playing Guns and Roses remakes on the stage.

    I wouldn’t last a day in that dress in an Aussie summer.
    Glad someone has thought about tissues. Can’t go anywhere without them.

    Believe it or not, Lilian, the original sketch of this dress was described as a summer dress! Amazing what women did for fashion and decorum back in the day.

    There is also a built in flotation device in the event the Baptismal pool overflows into the aisles….and there are also models available that has built in “heretic” detectors!

  • Comment by Steve Martin — March 6, 2011 @ 10:28 pm

    Many Episcopalians and ELCA members are wearing those dresses (and even some of their women).

    …comes with burlap underlining to make sure we “keep ‘em in their place.”
