Should women in the United States wear only dresses whether it be in church or at the office or gardening or hiking through the woods?

If Ellen White is to be believed, women should wear dresses and not skirts. She says the weight of our clothing should rest on the shoulders and not the waist. Blessings, Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him." [Colossians 2:9, 10.] {GW 57.1} -- Ellen White.

To express their femininity and give glory to God in the beauty of His creation just as a flower with its beauty is how in my opinion they should do. Sometimes flowers have their beauty hidden or covered by snow or weather, but its always there.

Never even crossed my mind as didn't pick up the difference in her writings, but yes my wife does wear full length dresses when she goes to church. I have even picked some out for her which others say are very nice, as I enjoy having her wear nice dresses rather than the 'power suits' many women are picking up from the business world and bring to church.

Daryl, Pants/trousers were to be held up with suspenders--thus suspending their weight from the shoulders. I would have to say that your question seems irrelevant. Either a skirt (such as the one attached to a dress and thus hung from the shoulders) or pants (suspended via suspenders) were to have their weight hung from the shoulders. I'm not telling you what I do. I'm telling you what Mrs. White says we should do. If suspenders were more readily available, perhaps I would adopt them. Maybe I should anyhow, as I do seem to have some stomach/intestinal issues, and belts can cause such, per Mrs. White. Perhaps the quote Alchemy found should be seen by all. It continues, but here is the first paragraph of it, and I would encourage folks to look it up in its context and read the rest as well. We object to the popular style of woman's dress because it is neither healthful nor convenient. The skirts generally rest upon the hips, which were not designed to sustain weights. Every article of clothing should be suspended from the shoulders. The habit of fastening the skirts about the body with bands, allowing the weight to rest upon the hips to keep them from slipping off is decidedly injurious to health. For exactly where these bands girt are nerves, and large blood-vessels, which carry the blood into the limbs. These veins and nerves should not be pressed, but allowed the most perfect freedom to fulfill the purpose for which nature designed them. {HR, April 1, 1872 par. 1} Blessings, Green Cochoa.
We can receive of heaven's light only as we are willing to be emptied of self. We can discern the character of God, and accept Christ by faith, only as we consent to the bringing into captivity of every thought to the obedience of Christ. And to all who do this, the Holy Spirit is given without measure. In Christ "dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him."

I can tell you this is spot on as if my belts are too tight it cuts off my circulation and gives me a headache and I have to loosen them up and risk having my pants drop. So I have solved it by using suspenders, looks a bit old fashioned but it works.

Sometimes flowers have their beauty hidden or covered by snow or weather, but its always there. Ok, I didn't catch if you meant only/usually to church or not. If a woman is covered up with pants in the snow, how is their beauty there? If underneath, then cannot one recognize a woman whether pants or dress? Is the advice only for church?
