Girls can wear dress pants (NO leggings, knit, or jeans) or a dress; however, modesty is required - this means nothing shorter than JUST a hint above the knee and a short or flutter sleeve. If a dress does not have sleeves, a cardigan is required. No midriff or back should be exposed. Boys and girls should be dressed for a religious ceremony.
