might be fun to print up a dress code. You can get lots of pictures of appropriate and inappropriate wear for christian women on the internet - make up a large flyer with illustrations - paste to the KH door early some morning and wait to see the fun. To be very very clear, you'd have to have pictures of low cut blouses, push up bras, mini skirts, bare midriffs, nipples showing through clingy shirts, backless tops, skirts with thigh-high splits, with the big red circle and slash over them, being sure to not obscure the interesting bits. Surely some of you guys who are good with photo shop could do something great along these lines.
Remember we dress modestly when we get together!!!!

Oh, yes. Image is everything.
Even when it's an "insider" party, they can't just relax and wear whatever is comfortable?
I recommend you wear something that covers you up but has pictures or drawings of naked or bulging body parts or smart-alecky slogans or both. If anyone says anything about it, ask them whose definition of modest you were supposed to follow.
Sounds like loads of fun. I am greeeen with envy!

I think they ought to be given the option: Either you go, dressed as YOU see fit, or you don't go at all. And if they insist on having it both ways, then not showing up at all ought to drive that point home.
I think it's a matter of time before you are going to have to disassociate yourself. If they keep hounding you, and it's getting to you, then it might be time. Your family is likely to treat you like dirt anyway if they start something that you are doing things that could get you disfellowshipped. And soon enough, they are going to spin something against you. Ultimately, either ignoring the messages totally (like I do: answering machine messages, letters shredded, door visits not answered) or telling them that, one more hounding and you are going to bail out, is called for. Be prepared if you threaten to bail out--you have to be ready to make good on that threat, or they are going to continue hounding you.

Remember we dress modestly
The elder who gave this direction probably has a something like this in mind:
Sisters anticipating eternal life in paradise dressed modestly enjoying the party.
A certainly doomed sister dressed immodestly bringing reproach on gawd's prefect orginization.

This is a party you are invited to because they want something off you, namely food and decorations.
Don't be surprized if the elders decide to corner you and ask misleading and irritating questions until you crack and say what you really think of them.
Why would an elder call and ask you to confirm that you had been invited to a type of gathering that for years has been officially discouraged by the WTBCS?
They want an excuse to savage you.
TRUST NO ONE. That has been my motto with them for twenty years. Also:
"Blessed is he that expecteth nothing for he shall not be disappointed.
