On the Apparel of Women: 84 (Lighthouse Church Fathers)

Female habit carries with it a twofold idea--dress and ornament. By dress we mean what they call womanly gracing; by ornament what it is suitable should be called womanly disgracing. The former is accounted (to consist) in gold and silver and gems and garments; the latter in care of the hair and of the skin and of those parts of the body which attract the eye. Against the one we lay the charge of ambition against the other of prostitution; so that even from this early stage (of our discussion) you may look forward and see what out of (all) these is suitable handmaid of God to your discipline inasmuch as you are assessed on different principles (from other women) --those namely of humility and chastity.
