can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I'm jewish and you can't wear sleeveless in temple.
More specifically do you think this dress is appropriate for an ordination ceremony?

Yes you can wear sleeveless in church.
I like the dress- I think it's fine to wear.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I would never wear that to a regular mass, much less a special one. How about a cute shrug?

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I think it's fine but it really depends on how conservative the parish is.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
It's more that it's a halter than being sleeveless that concerns me.
I imagine it has a low back, which isn't really church appropriate, although people wear things like that for weddings because they are going to a party afterward.
Other sacraments tend to be a little more conservative than weddings though.
I would wear a wrap/shrug/sweater with it.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
my rule of thumb is, if i wouldn't wear it to temple, i wouldn't wear it to a church either.
if you pair it w/ a shrug or cardigan or something, then it would be both temple and church appropriate.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I do, I know some of the priests dont like it but as I feel ok as long as there's no cleavage or too much skin showing

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I wasn't allowed to strapless for my wedding, but could have spaghetti straps or halter. I don't get it. I think it's fine, but bring a cardigan if you are unsure what others will be wearing.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I just asked a friend if I could wear pants to a church because I am so used to wearing skirts/dresses in temple. I was raised conservative and would never wear a skirt above my knee. Reform temples are not as strict.
I was told that pants were ok for church, but out of respect for the hosts and the priest, I would cover my shoulders.

I wouldn't. I also wouldn't want my bare back touching the seat that a million other people have sat on.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I wouldn't wear that dress to a church ceremony unless I was going to a wedding reception right after and even then I'd probably wear a wrap or something. Maybe look for a shrug or cardigan to wear during the ceremony.

I don't understand this. What's bad about your back touching something? Is it worse then touching it with your hands or sitting in shorts and the back of your legs touching something?

Oh, it's just the weirdo in me coming out. It just skeeves me out just thinking about it. I wear long shorts, so I never thought about it. Hands have touched a million gross things (either at work or commuting) and that doesn't gross me out. I'm weird like that.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I would wear it to church. At my wedding, I wore a strapless dress and it was not a problem. At other weddings, I have gone strapless as well. I usually bring a cardigan just in case it is cold.

Re: can I wear a sleeveless to a church?
I wouldn't.
I would DEF wear a cardigan over that.
My church makes a post in its bulletin every time the weather gets warmer to "remind" people that it is a place of worship & that what you would wear to a bbq or a party is NOT appropriate in church (sleeveless tops/dresses, shorts, torn denim, tank tops etc).

ITA.
A woman was wearing a halter dress at a first communion ceremony mass this weekend we had to say a special prayer that Jesus would have mercy on her all exposed soul.
