prophetic worship flags
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion...the Garment of Praise for the spirit of heaviness." Isaiah 61:3
Garments of Praise
    We wear costumes as garments of praise for a variety of reasons.  They set apart our worship from participation as a member of the body to a role of ministering to the Lord on behalf of the body, and to the body on behalf of the Lord.  They allow a team of dancers to present a uniform, excellent appearance.  They also provide a medium to speak prophetically through the symbolism of color.
Concerning Modesty
   A critical issue in the garments of worship dancers is modesty.  We operate in an extrordinary liberty in worship, and need to be squarely hidden behind the cross in so doing.  We want to direct attention to the Lord, and not to our dancer's bodies.   We also don't want to be ourselves distracted from His presence by worrying over what might be exposed if we begin to praise extravagantly.
   In addition, we have a very real responsability not to be the cause of a brother's stumbling.  Be assured, it doesn't take much to make most brothers stumble.  Proper foundation garments that keep our uniquely female attributes from showing through and shaking free are essential.  This includes a long-sleeved leotard, preferably fully lined in front. 
     Proper undergarments under skirts are not optional.  The coulottes we sell were designed by a worship dancer through much refining to have just the right proportion of flare to coverage.  She found out the hard way how distracting the dancer's bodies can be to an unregenerate heart. 
     Our dedication to modesty is not a bondage, but the instrument by which we are freed to come boldly before the throne, offering ourselves as a living sacrifice, wholly acceptable in His sight.  Modesty allows us to be a transparent veil through which the Glory of God may brightly shine.
     Another aspect of modesty is not calling attention to the individual personality at the expense of drawing attention to the Lord.  Hairstyles should be simple, and pulled away from the face.  Jewelry should be kept to a minimum.  You need never take off your wedding ring, but extra rings and necklaces detract from the simple, graceful line of your costume.  Earrings should be small and simple for the same reason.
