“And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.”

1 Timothy 2:9-10 (as quoted in New Living Translation http://biblehub.com/nlt/1_timothy/2.htm)
