Hey, now you can wear flowery patterns:

For years, the dress standard for sisters missionaries has been a
consistent guideline and entirely unchanging. In recent months
however, the Church has implemented new changes to the approved
apparel.

Encouraging brighter colors, patterns and even accessories, the Church
hopes to make sister missionaries' appearance more inviting to
investigators. With completely new photos, the changed apparel
guidelines have proliferated as they have been sent out to sisters
recently receiving their mission calls, and current missionaries have
been notified by their mission presidents.

In addition to the unchanged guidelines of retaining modesty by
ensuring clothes are neither too tight or too loose, sheer or sloppy,
the new standard is meant to enhance the perpetual tradition of
presenting oneself as dignified, well-groomed and clean in appearance.

"The Church provides dress and grooming standards for Elders and
Sisters alike, which are current with acceptable styles yet maintain
an appearance of dignity, professionalism and modesty," said Scott
Trotter, spokesperson for The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day
Saints,

In conforming to current acceptable style, the updated guidelines
encourage sisters to wear brighter colors and patterns, simple
accessories and dub nylons as optional. Skirt length has also been
modernized with the rule that they can rise above mid-calf, but are
still required to cover the knees when sitting or standing.

Although there are revisions, sisters are still required to maintain
their appearance of modesty, wearing conservative outfits that consist
of professional suits, skirts, blouses, jackets, sweaters and
dresses."

So I guess "frumpy" is no longer acceptable for sisters.
