Well, here it goes, The Bible has its own dress code. That is why Pentecostal women dress the way we do. We strictly abide by the Bible. It is God's word.
Deuteronomy 22:5 states "a woman shall not wear that which pertaineth (relates) to a man, neither shall a man wear a woman's garment, for all that do so are abomination to the Lord thy God." Abomination means "extreme disgust, hatred or loathing." God feels this strongly about the way we dress because he cares about the way we dress. hate is a very strong word. Nobody wants to do anything that God would hate. Pants definitely relate to men. You go to the bathroom, you look at the figures on the sign to see which one to go into. If you're a woman, you go to the one with a dress. If you're a man, you go to the one with the pants.
Isaiah says that if you show your thigh, you show your nakedness. Your thigh begins in the middle of your knee, so obviously, we should be wearing skirts to cover our knees. Of course, when we sit down, it can't show our knee then either.
1 Corinthians says that a woman is not to cut her hair, therefore, we do not put any sharp object to our hair, it is our glory. That means not even a trim.
1 Corinthians also states that if a man has long hair, it is a shame. Therefore, the men keep their hair short.
Some people try to judge us and put us down, I don't understand why. We go by the Word of God. We add nothing to it, nor do we take away from it. I know as well as all of you that there are some Pentecostals who are rebellious and they either don't read their Bible, or they just don't care, that is between them and God. I don't judge them, just as I don't judge those who are not pentecostal. God says we are to love everybody (even our enemies). Nobody is perfect, but I sure can try to be... and that's just what I do. I hope I really do help those of you out there who are truly trying to live right for God.

All Christians who love the Lord should should dress moderately and not dress in a manner that would bring embarrassment to the body of Christ. However, not all Pentecostals believe that wearing pants are an abomination to God. This is why some people erroneously think that all Pentecostals believe that wearing pants will send you to hell. God looks on the Heart. Once the heart is right, then the rest of the person is right. As a Pentecostal, I never understood why anyone thinks that pants are a mans garment. Think for a moment, did men wear pants during Jesus time? There are pants specifically made for men and pants specifically made for women. This business about women not trimming their hair? The majority of Pentecostals who are Holy Ghost filled do not hold to this view. God does not preoccupy himself with what earrings we wear, or what hairstyles we have. If you have not given your life to Christ, then all of this is irrelevant.
The scripture regarding men and women not dressing in each others clothing was written at a time and to a people whose men and women both wore robes (dresses). There were no pants. Therefore, the scripture clearly speaks of not "cross dressing" or being a "transvestite". Let us not forget that these were letters written by the apostles to churches in a particular time and place. The apostles did not want the people to do things that were considered rebellious and offensive to their culture, either. This would go against the higher law of love (to consider others more highly than yourself and bear up with those who are weaker). Modesty is the best policy. Just like not eating meat in front of a vegetarian. Then there is the scripture about not judging. We need to take the whole context (or letter) to heart. God judges the motives of the heart. This being said, all should adhere to the guidelines set forth by the leadership of the congregation. If you continue to fellowship in the house that forbids women to wear pant then wear a skirt or dress. You can make your views known without bucking the authority of the leadership. Your submission to authority (especially when you disagree) speaks volumes.
One area overlooked by the stricter denominations such as Pentecostals are in spiritual areas. Just as many women crossdress and act like men in the natural, many Pentecostals crossdress in spiritual areas.
The word of God shows us that Jesus Christ is the Husband, Head and High Priest of the church, his betrothed. She is not to wear that which pertaineth unto the man. There is one man between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
He as the Shiloh of God and High Priest, is the only one ordained to wear the breastplate of judgment!
When the church looks down their nose or judges their fellow human being, she is wearing that which pertaineth unto her Husband!
And that is an abomination unto the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

Every Church with holiness standards will moderately vary according to the discretion of that particular pastor. Trueholiness Churches will have these common standards for women:
- Skirts below the knee. No splits in skirts or slits stopping well bellow knee.
- No jewelry, not even wedding bands.
- Pants are never worn - never. Not even to bed. Not underneath skirts. Never.
- Shirts are not to be form fitting.
- Hair is to be uncut.
- Faces to be clean without makeup.
- Women should not be dressed sloppily and unclean.
- Shirts should be high enough to never reveal cleavage, (generally, a 2 finger-width rule from the neck all around). Sleeves should cover the elbows.
- Certainly no midriff.
- Skirts shouldn't be all the way to the floor/ hippy looking.
- Essentially - women should be dressed modestly, clean, presentable, and not in a "look at me" manner.
- Our hair is our glory, and the Holy Ghost is our shining beacon, emanating the wonder and beauty of God through our shamefacedness and sobriety.

Should a apostolic pentecostal wear skirts in public?
People attending a Pentecostal church can wear any clothing they choose. If you are female, wear what you feel happy with, be it a skirt, jeans or slacks. I've seen all types of clothing. All people have different tastes. The "Pentecostals" are believers in God like most Christian denominations and we don't have set rules on what clothing to wear, long as we look decent. If a church tells its followers what clothing to wear or not to wear, then get out of that church and find another one. God is interested in our heart not what we wear, provided that we dress decently. No church has the right to tell its followers what clothing to wear.
