Women need to allow THEMSELVES to wear pants to church. I wore pants to church a lot. I was friendly and gracious to everyone, and no one ever said anything about the pants.

Like in Wizard of Oz, "[they've] always had the power, my dear, [they] just had to learn it for [themselves]." Unfortunately, I posted the same info on a FB thread, and I got attacked. I got attacked both from the angle, "Ha! Just try it sometime!," to "Don't blame women for the problem!" Still, I think that the real problem is people (not just women, of course) not standing their ground, and stupidly allowing the church to dictate personal policies to them. Of course, I'm no longer a Mormon, but I almost neeeeevvver (ever) wore a white shirt at sacrament, even when reminded about it by some bishop or counsellor. I liked dressing up--still do, if given an event to attend (no longer happends), but I didn't/don't like white dress shirts.
I know a woman who has always worn pant suits to church. She's been a member for decades and has served as Young Women's President. No one has ever told her that she can't.
Back a few years ago when I attended (I have since resigned )
There were a 40 something attractive lady who rode a Harley to church every Sunday and she always dressed in a black leather pants suit. I guess it was motorcycle riding attair.
As far as I know no ever said anything to her. The last time I attended she was still wearing it.
I thought it strange, she did look very out of place. I was surprised but it was apparently acceptable.
