Abercrombie & Fitch and its subsidiary Hollister have shown an unusual degree of antagonism to the name of Christ and an unusual display of wickedness in their promotions. In protest, articles displaying their logos are not acceptable to be worn, carried, or displayed (even if covered or masked in some way)."

Tops must be long enough to cover the midriff.

Sleeves are required. (Sleeveless tops and dresses may be worn with a sleeved blouse, jacket or sweater underneath or over top.)

Necklines may come no lower than four fingers below the collarbone.
Skirts

Hemlines and slits or other openings should not be higher than the bottom of the knee.

Denim skirts may be worn for casual dress (not to class or other professional-type events).

Pants

Loose-fitting pants may be worn between womens residence halls, for athletic events, and off campus (where appropriate).

Loose-fitting jeans may be worn in and between womens residence halls and when participating in activities where the durability of the fabric is important, such as skiing and ice-skating.

Low-riders are not appropriate.

Shorts are appropriate only inside the residence halls and fitness center.

Ease

All dresses, skirts, pants and shirts must be loose-fitting, having a minimum of three inches of ease at bust and hips.

An informal way to measure ease is to stand up straight and pinch the loose fabric on both sides of the hips or at the bust line. Without stretching the fabric, there should be at least a 3/4-inch fold of fabric on both sides.
