Prue thinks this is an American thing. Just like our good friend from Scotland, Geoff something.
Professing women in Australia wear dresses and their hair up in a bun for the most part.

In the main we Aussies do wear dresses and hair up. But not all, and not mandatory.

I have seen it in south America. Although there are few friends, the same basic dress code is followed in Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and the parts of Brazil that I visited.

I will be in Peru August 3 for several weeks. Perhaps we could get together. I have observed long loose dresses and hair piled into buns in south America. Perhaps not identical to what one would observe in san Diego but still a dress code by any standard I can think of.

Hey have you ever been to the big potato institute? In Peru. I lived there for 6 months researching the history of the potato in Peru especially the wonderful purple potatoes! I spend more time in Santiago Chile at the moment I keep an apartment there. We should meet.

The only place where I have ever seen a hearty professing woman, in a professing household, wear pants to a fellowship meeting WITHOUT being criticized, Haas been in Asia. These women wear traditional cut and styled pants. However, they have told me themselves that if they try to wear westen style pants such as jeans, then they are criticized by the workers. I have lived many places and travelled just about everywhere.

We must be fellow travellers Daisy. Will you be near Arequipa (south)?
I've lived in many countries too, but haven't noticed what you saw. The strongest form of dress code is in USA.

I may be able to visit you. I leave LA on Aug 3, will conduct some business in Chile with the ambassador and our lawyers, and then head to Lima aroung the 8th. We should yet to get together. I have only observed long dresses and buns no jeans, no mini skirts etc. I have buzzed through several conventions most often the one in Ecuador that is near the Columbian border.

They wear their dresses and their hair up? I'd like to see that!
Reminds me of the confucious joke about women running faster with dresses up than men with pants down.
But then, that's just me.

Well teenager, as I was told they dress differently, I really have no idea what to expect. Do you think my shirts will be acceptable meeting attire? I am curious to find out. I am forever reading where people say the dress code is very differnt, however I have only observed minor variations. I am eager to visit a place where there is no dress code. I have already had my parents contact the Peruvian workers, I can hardly wait to see how they dress. I knew one of them years ago in the states back then it was the same old dress code!
