He draws the line at micro mini (yes they try it) skirts and shorts. Some people come in their work clothes because they';re just getting off or they have to go directly afterward.

You both said it well...
I also grew up in a COGIC...And they were stuck in the mentality of women wearing dresses and no nail polish and no short hair cuts (yes, I know
)...Now I go to a different church, where our Pastor & church basically has a 'come as you are' policy...I usually wear nice pants and a sweater (I'm still in college) or a skirt...I don't care about what others wear as long as you look somewhat presentable (read: do not come looking like you are going to the club...and some do this). People show up in work clothes, jeans, etc...Some people might not have money to buy nice clothes--and those nice clothes, as Pinkpassion08 put it, don't "get you into heaven"...
