We had a kilt-clad bagpipe player at a funeral last year, and he was sitting cross-legged in the church nursery waiting for his cue, and...um...flashed...a couple of people...probably wasn't even aware of that fact, used to wearing jeans...but then again, I can't imagine WHY...well, oh well, never mind.
Did you hafta share that? LOL!

Well. The bagpipe playing in and of itself sent me into a very inappropriate and untimely fit of giggles...our church isn't huge, it certainly isn't a hillside in Scotland, and when that guy fired up and started down the aisle, I nearly lost it. To make it worse, apparently there was some huge sentimental value to the poor deceased saint's grown granddaughter who was sobbing the whole time, which added to my amusement. (Yeah, I was sittin' up front by the organ, in plain sight...my best friend elbowing me in the ribs.) I had to bite my tongue till it nearly bled to stop myself from ruining the funeral and my somber, appropriate image.

Word To The Wise: Bagpipes are great if they're about a block or more away. Any closer than that...

If he is trying to appear to be a woman then it violates God's word (this would cover most situations of such occuring here in the USA). However, if it is a native garment worn during a traditional ceremony, then no. I have also seen Holy Ghost filled men wear robes (which are essentially dresses) during Easter plays. I don't believe that they were sinning or are going to hell. It's all about motivation. In our current culture there is no good motivation for a man to be wearing a skirt in normal day-to-day life.

I mean, it's made by different designers and all.

Maybe he's just trying to be comfortable and stylish?
The priests were ordered to wear undergarments that covered their thighs to the knee caps so they could climb up to minister, so do these men dresses cause these chaps to not climb ladders, trees, jump a motorcycle or sit on a couch?
