Does the organization your church belongs permit culottes on women?
Yes.
I don't know.

Are these culottes the kind that look like a skirt, or the ones that look more like gauchos?
More like gauchos. But gauchos are a little tighter through the seat than culottes, so they're not exactly the same. I've seen some women wear skorts to work outside, which have a skirt flap in the front, but not in the back.
Quote:
I was allowed to wear them in p.e., nowhere else. I've considered getting them for my daughters.
I don't think the UPC has an official position on it, though the WeDeclare folks must. (no bifurcated garments)
Right. That would eliminate culottes and gauchos altogether--even those covered by material to look like a skirt.

The culottes I wore in p.e. had a flap in front and back. It really looked like a skirt. My parents didn't care for the other kind, because when you sit down, they often tighten up around the legs, and look like pants.
I'd like to find a good source for culottes, but haven't seen any I like in a long time.
My daughters hate wearing shorts under their skirts, because they say they bug them, but I hate the immodesty that I see when they're playing and not wearing them. Especially on playgrounds!
