#modest dress

I found this template online a few months ago. It comes in handy when you don’t know where to start. So far my house is spotless and I’m not stressing out.

I think I need to accept that being fully (as in whole body) covered in the legal field may not be feasible. Maybe if I wear wide-leg pants? Most skirts seem to be at the knee or a bit below, which I’m okay with generally, but I’d prefer my whole leg covered. I just feel more comfortable that way.

The Feminine Appearance Part 1 - Modesty in More Detail

Modesty, unfortunately, has developed a connotation of only being one specific type of way: boring, unflattering, frumpy, grandma-ish. We've been taught that if you're modest, you're automatically seen as unattractive and/or pretty girls and beautiful women can't be modest.

While modesty is super important and needs to be/should be followed by a traditional feminine woman, that doesn't mean you have an excuse to neglect your appearance and look unattractive.

You do not need to look like your grandma to be modest, so put the mumu down. Modesty doesn't not equal frumpiness or is the antithesis of fashionable dressing. It simply means that we do not need to show off all of our good to look attractive.

Take me for example. I went through the entire of college thinking that in order to be seen as attractive, I needed to wear the shortest shorts possible and show off my chest at any opportunity. Now I know however, that a dress that goes to just below my collarbone and is knee length is still just as attractive if you know how to wear it correctly.

A feminine, traditional woman can't neglect her appearance. It's our duty to be put together, to stay attractive, and be pleasant to be around. We owe it to ourselves, our husbands, our community. And it starts with one of the easiest things to change about yourself, your clothes.

One of the number one things I see that work to ruin modesty is not dressing for your body type or just opting for the baggy, 3 sizes too big garment. Flowy is fine, but baggy is going to do all the wrong things to your feminine shape. Don't show it off, but don't completely hide from it as well. There's a balance, cinch in your waist with a belt or wear an outfit that you brought to a tailor to fit you just right.

The other main thing I see is your clothing being very plain. Simplicity is nice in certain circumstances but in order to be attractive and modest, you need to start playing with patterns and fabrics, change things up a bit. You don't need to always wear solid colors in cotton or wool. Opt for maybe a floral pattern or fabric like satin or chiffon.

Here's some key items that help elevate your modesty and keep you away from looking old:

Accessories. Don't let your clothes just speak for themselves. Make yourself look put together, wear a necklace or some nice earrings to make the rest of you pop. My favorites are usually a simple chain or one with a subtle pendant and smaller hoop earrings. Wear a neck scarf, sunglasses that flatter you face shape.

Slip/Satin skirts

Matching Sets

Longline or tailored blazers

Jean skirts IF done correctly, with a raw hem or slightly distressed with a tailored fit

Layering pieces. Have a spaghetti strap top or dress you want to wear? Throw a t-shirt underneath.

Play with patterns and fabrics, don't just stick with plain white or black cotton

Graphic t-shirts. If you have them, wear them with a skirt and a cardigan to jazz it up!

Smock tops, especially for ladies like me with larger chests

Modest fashion that is flattering and age appropriate is sometimes SO difficult to find in standard retail stores! I promise that you can find something almost everywhere, but digging for those holy grail items can be exhausting.

So here are some stores, in person and online, that I find hold the most amount of modest products so you don't waste your time:

Uniqlo - this is where I bought my FAVORITE house dress, plus is a great store for basics

H&M - particularly their sections on business wear has great blouses, skirts, and dresses

Primark - this can be hit and miss but the dresses are wonderful

Ivy City and Co. - an online boutique based in Utah, has great items and adorable Mommy and Me matching sets!

NeeSee's Dresses - caters specifically to modest fashion, a bit pricier but so worth it

JC Penney and Kohls - they're everywhere and they have pretty much everything under the sun you would want, dress, skirts, loose pants, and blouses!

Amazon - I try not to shop here for clothes all that often because quality can vary, but if it has a good review, it's typically great and has great variety!

Friendly reminder that you can like your body and still want to cover it.

It’s always interesting when people try to decide why others are modest for them. Like no I’m not modest cause I think my body needs to be hidden or is dirty or because men say so and I have to listen to men I live in a highly antisemitic environment as in my father has outright said hitler is right type of antisemitic (while he’s never physically violent this is still a very not fun environment) because of this environment I don’t get to really do the things I need to do to move forward in converting I had to stop going to services I don’t get to celebrate holidays there’s no lighting candles for me or Seder or anything else I get to read my books and say prayers and blessing when I’m by myself I can occasionally catch services when they are streamed but I don’t get a lot of privacy so that can be tricky to but you know what I can do I can control how I dress I can consciously think about God and the day I get to move forward with converting every single day while I get dressed things like clothes shopping become ways for me to connect with God and to think/remember the people and community I want to join Modesty isn’t always done for one reason and I wish people would not reduce it to one reason or say it’s only ever done for misogynistic reasons

To anyone who stumbles upon this post who identifies as female and dresses modestly, please know two things:

1) I am looking very respectfully.

2) I am also looking with great admiration, because every single one of you I’ve seen in public has absolutely peak fashion sense. Whether you’re dressing traditionally for your culture, in a more modern look, or a combination, you’re all somehow always rocking it.

I wanted to mention this because, while I do try and give compliments in person when I can, that’s not always an option without it being weird or intrusive. So I’m saying it here!

Your taste in patterns and/or colours (if you don’t wear patterns) is fantastic! (This includes all of you who wear solid black!)

Those of you who wear various sorts of coverings, they always look so tidy and nice, and are made of such lovely fabrics!

The articles of clothing you choose are always interesting, and I’m in awe at how you manage to look so simultaneously stylish and comfortable!

You look absolutely amazing, and I hope you have people in your life that tell you so frequently!

#modest dress #some of this is from the fact that I myself prefer not to show a huge amount of skin (it’s not cultural just a me thing) #some of this is from a 'I freaking love clothes as a concept #and I love seeing all the variations different people and cultures have come up with' #one of my greatest resentments of society: #it's not always acceptable to go up to a random stranger and tell them they look fantastic

I love you modesty.  I love you bare face.  I love you sleeves.  I love you flowing skirts.  I love you baggy dresses.  I love you comfortable outfits.  I love you not preforming and just existing.  I love you headscarves.  I love you clothing that was not meant to showcase me like a piece of meat.  I love having control over who has visual access to me and my body.
