The Vatican (as well as most churches in Italy) has a strict dress code. Absolutely no bare shoulders, no mini skirts or short shorts for females. Code is enforced and all clothing must be knee length, no tank tops or bare feet. You will not be permitted to enter if the dress code is not met as it is not optional.

It is suggested to not carry any backpacks (or keep the content limited to a camera), large purses, golf umbrellas or luggage as it would take a tremendous amount of time to pass through security when you could be inside enjoying the artwork. Note that small folding umbrella is permitted. If you have a large purse or lots of contents of your bag you may be asked to check it with Vatican security.
It is preferable to travel light due to the fact it's a long walk all the way around the Vatican city wall to return the the security check location to retrieve your items. If they are not retrieved by 4:00 PM you cannot retrieve your item until the following day.
All bags will be searched (make sure to not have any knives) or you can leave the item at security. Note there is a charge for leaving items with security. Light/small purses and cameras are no problem as they are easily searched.
No animals (i.e. purse dogs) are permitted in Vatican city, St. Peter's square or the Basilica.
