1. Marylike is modest without
compromise, “like Mary,” Christ’s
Mother.
2. Marylike dresses have sleeves
extending at least to the elbows, and
skirts reaching below the knees.
3. Marylike dresses require full coverage
for the bodice, chest, shoulders and
back; except for a cut-out about the
neck not exceeding two inches below
the neckline in front and in the back,
and a corresponding two inches on the
shoulders.
4. Marylike dresses do not admit as
modest coverage transparent fabrics—
laces, nets, organdy, nylons, etc., —
unless sufficient backing is added.
However, their moderate use as
trimmings is acceptable.
5. Marylike dresses avoid the improper
use of flesh-colored fabrics.
6. Marylike dresses conceal rather than
reveal the figure of the wearer; they do
not emphasize, unduly, parts of the
body.
7. Marylike dresses provide full
coverage, even after jacket, cape or
stole are removed.
