Modest Clothing

[M]

I am interested to know what types of clothing styles you ladies think of as modest.  Should Christian women dress modestly only for church or all the time?

I am of the opinion that a woman, who professes Jesus Christ as her Savior, should dress modestly unless she is in the provacy of her own bedroom.

What's your definition of modest?

[Freak]

Yeah. It seems like everyone has a different idea of what "modest" is....

Apparently unable to define it though.

[Freak]

Yeah. I would define modest as clothing that would not cause anyone to fall into lust. That's usually a good rule of thumb for me. If people wear it because they "want to look hot" then I don't buy it. I take someone with me to go shopping. If I bend over, and they can see underwear, I don't buy it. A lot of the "low-riders" are just sick and wrong in my opinion. I prefer to have my booty covered TYVM. But a lot of people would consider me to be weird or something I guess...I just don't see how that's appealing to people.

Nice try but I know many a man who could fall into lust looking at a woman in a sweatsuit that comes down to her wrists and and ankles.  

Modesty to me means you can bend over and touch your toes without worrying about what is or isn't showing or in danger of "popping" out.  It means your underwear are exactly where they're supposed to be....*under* your clothing and if you're worried about your cellulite showing through your pants....they're too tight and I don't consider that modest either.

Interestingly, my sons girlfriends are all modest dressers.  Funny the things they pick up just from being exposed (no pun intended) to them.

[Freak]

Yeah, me too. But I'm talking about obvious things that cause others to lust.

For me, modest clothing is something that doesn't show alot of skin and doesn't form tightly to your body.

I really think that the woman should choose something that is nice & not to tight that shows everything off. I wear skirts an jumpers to church & they are nice looking too. If the weather is bad then ... I'll usually wear a nice pair of pants. Usually on Wednesday the ladies of our church wear nice pants or jeans. But as 4 the Elders & Decons wives ( the older ones ) usually wear nice pants or even skirts.

I do watch what some of the young ladies were some where -nice skirts sometimes they are a bit to short but that's there choice not mine. But, my daughter usually wears pants & I do get her sometimes to dress up a bit. So, it's really the choice of the lady what she wants 2 wear & what she is wanting people to think of her.

I am constantly concerned with what people think about me.

Don't be worry about how other people, think of you. Think of how Jesus, would think of you. If you dress to please the Lord, then don't worry about other people. In the long run, it don't matter what people think, only what God thinks.

Resting in the arms of the Lord.

Freak: If your really worried about how people look @ you then make some changes in your life. Then people will not look at U in the wrong way. So, I hope that I've not upset you in any way !!
