I mean in Islam, we have the "hijab" or headscarf and all of the woman's body must be covered except the face and the hands. Do you have a similar thing in christianity? A limit or something? For example, can a conservative christian girl wear bikini in public?

She should wear clothing that does not draw much attention to herself as opposed to wearing advertisements of her sexuality. That is what becomes a distraction. Of course there are men out there that would even be turned on by a woman in a burka.

The guideline is that a woman (and a man for that matter) would dress modestly. However, the Bible does not specify exactly, though I remember there is mention in Matthew of wearing hats in the contesxt of modesty and humblness before God at a worship service.
Should a Christian wear a bikini? I've seen a lot of people who should not and I don't know their religion. I certainly would not let any of my daughters wear one, but I cannot impose my personal mores on other people in that regard.

No Christianity teaches do not even tournament as a lot as Yeshua's teachings or the training of the Tanach which they declare to base their faith from. to respond to your question Christianity changed into shaped by using Saul/Paul of Tarsus (are a minimum of the meant personality). The latter heathens (church fathers/councils) did in the religion even added by using bringing in paganism and all kinds of twist that had not something to do with scripture or with what the early actual believers practiced: Sunday Worship, Trinity, Crosses, Christmas, Easter, Torah Abandonment, Heaven, Hell, Rapture, and so on.

I am a 16yo Christian girl. The Bible calls on Christian women to dress modestly, but is not prescriptive about what this means. I personally think that the islamic view is extreme, and oppressive to women. I think a lot of women should be more modest than they are though. As for a bikini, I think it is appropriate if it suits the girls figure and she is comfy. Not a thong though.

It depends on the denomination. Yes, Christians wear basically whatever they want, but certain denominations have specifics. For instance the Pentecostal women only wear skirts or dresses and they are long. Plus most of them have long hair. I guess that most general Christians or Protestants wear whatever they themselves deem to be appropriate. The churches that I have attended never had a dress code.

It varies with different denominations. I have friends who are Pentecostal Christians who wear dresses or skirts only, and will not cut their hair. Some of them also wear no jewelry or make-up. Most Christian women dress conservatively, and most would not wear a bikini in public, but it isn't really forbidden. I dress to please myself, which is a style I don't think would offend most people, but my Pentecostal friends probably wish I would dress more conservatively.

When I was in the Assemblies of God Church (conservative Evangelical), women were told about "modesty" all the time. Basically, it means don't dress in such a way that you're trying to stir guys up. Nothing too tight or short...and no bikinis.

As Salaamu Alaikum, I am looking forward to some answers on this myself. I personally wear the niqab, abaya, and gloves. But I am no christian.

Pauls Letters Will Help;
(1 Timothy 2:9-10) Likewise I desire the women to adorn themselves in well-arranged dress, with modesty and soundness of mind, not with styles of hair braiding and gold or pearls or very expensive garb, 10 but in the way that befits women professing to reverence God, namely, through good works.

T*ts out. G-String.
Man would church attendance (and the collection plate) go way up.
Seriously though it's more of a cultural thing than a religious one.
I hope though, that even with the dress I described above, men would be held to account for assulting such a women, unlike in Islam, where the woman's sexuality is scapegoated.
