Do mormon women have to wear dresses?

Mormon women do NOT have to wear dresses!  Not all the time and not ever if they choose not to!  We are never told what to wear on any occasion.  We are simply asked to dress modestly and in appropriate attire for the given activity.  Most of us choose to wear dresses or skirts on Sundays as a way to express our femininity and our devotion to our Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ by offering Him the very best of ourselves.  To many of us, that means taking a little extra effort to dress up and look nice in what we consider our very best.  We are women.  We are feminine.  For the most part, we enjoy wearing our dresses (and skirts!)  There are many activities in which we participate where dresses and skirts may not be appropriate.  Things such as service projects, luncheons, visiting teaching, etc.  We are free to choose what to wear on every occasion.  I love the freedom available to women of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints all over the world!
