15. DRESS
On the third day Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace, in front of the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, facing the entrance. When he saw Queen Esther standing in the court, he was pleased with her hand and held out to her the gold scepter that was in his hand (Esther 5:1-2)
That must have been some dress Esther had on! What kind of dress would make a man want to give all of his power to a woman? Contrary to popular belief, flesh is not the attracting factor, mystery is. Some men have double standards about the way a woman dresses. Yes, he will turn and gawk at a woman walking down the street who is showing more than she should, but does he want the woman on his arm to dress in the same manner? Absolutely not! He ma be attracted to the scantily dressed woman but not respect her or take her seriously at all.
I always ask the question: Would you be proud to meet Jesus in what you are wearing? That settles it, dress accordingly. Now that doesn't mean your stuff has to be up to the top of you neck or hitting the floor. Simply dress with taste and modesty. Leave something to the imagination. Leave that man wanting to know more about you. Give him hints but not the full conclusion. Dress carefully and effectively. Soft, feminine, and inviting, but without displaying things that only your mate should see. Let your dress speak volumes about your character- modest not brazen, godly not worldly. Highlight your best qualities without distracting from your overall natural beauty. The rule for dressing is less can be more, and I am not speaking of fabric. Dress the wa you want to be perceived. If you are a queen, dress like one.
