I think I'm semi modest. I dress appropriately for my age and for a mother. I do wear pants, but I don't wear dresses or skirts above the knee (I believe I only have one dress that is just slightly above my knee). I do show cleavage SOMETIMES, but I don't purposely push the girls out on display in a way that is inappropriate. I like to dress my age and in a way that is flattering without showing the entire world what I have underneath.

Modest, not PRUDISH.
Some outfits just CAN'T be ignored, giving a guy no chance to tune it out! lol

as soon as I lost weight I finally was able to NOT be modest. I love my tight clothing, shorter skirts, I love pants and dresses some are loose and some are not, I don't do a lot of cleavage but I love bikinis....and this is all intentional.

when I was fat, all I could wear was big baggy clothes, so I could never go back to being like that.

I like women to dress modestly and only be overly flirty with me (If I am dating them). Could be why I like cowgirls so much. They tend to be the kind of women who only have eyes for their man. Nothign wrong with dressing sexy but why give it all away instead of saving it for your man.

You said it, Cowboy...

why no pants?

I wear t-shirts and blue jeans most of the time. I do wear mid-calf length skirts with boots - I love that look. I don't like to show cleavage, I know a lot of women do and that's their prerogative. I don't have a problem with it. I want to look well put together - classy and a little sexy, but not desperate. I must say, though, I do like my dresses to fit my body and not be loose, unless I'm just wearing them around the house.

Well, as for the pants thing - wouldn't a dress show off more than pants? Hehe but that's your own choice I like both - but certainly modest. I think that if more mothers practiced dressing modestly and taught their daughters to dress modestly, they would have more respect for themselves and find a guy who respects them more, too.

Just because she is in a cute sleeveless dress does not mean she is being immodest.

msacurrie

Although she did say she didn't wear sleeveless clothes haha - but maybe she makes an exception for warm weather or fancy events

I dress modestly for a few reasons, also not religious.

One is that I just think it looks tacky to be hanging out all over the place if you're not on the beach. I'm kind of...I guess "southern" in that sense. I'm amazed by some of the things people wear to work where I teach. Let's all cover the cellulite, high beams, and 5 o'clock shadow pits in the workplace, FFS!

I usually wear pants but not tight pants. I never wear shorts or short dresses. I'll do a maxi dress now and then.

I'm also very pale (and I mean VERY pale) and don't like my lily white arms and legs blinding innocent bystanders. It's a public service!

I'm modest. I keep the girls and the upper thighs covered! It's what makes me most comfortable.

If by modest we're referring to Kate Middleton's style then I am all over that....but seriously on a much smaller budget. I show more boobage though - there is just no hiding these.

Uh-huh, but she did say she didn't wear sleeveless stuff...

If by modest you mean short skirts no undies and tight shirts then yes. I am super modest. In fact if being modest were an Olympic sport why I declare I would win gold every time.

I am just guessing, but I'll bet she meant strapless.

I dress with the trends and fashion.... I don't wear "slutty" clothes or garments that are too skimpy or too small for my size. I dress appropriately, but I'm not modest to the extent that I would cover my shoulders or ankles.

kbailey374

I'm not THAT modest but I cover the stuff that is mine lol... it IS sort of for religious reasons, don't think God wants me to incite violence (JOKING of course) Nothing wrong w/ it IMHO

DeckerDoll

When did not wearing pants become a standard for modesty?? I'm all in for this one...I effin' hate wearing pants. Sign me up for the knee highs and oversized t-shirts...or a leotard. Yup.

hkevans724

If I wouldn't wear it in front of my preacher then I won't wear it at all.. When I was younger I used to flaunt the girls but now , no way. It's mine and I don't want folks looking at it. Even if it was skinny and fabulous.. Even when I get hot I won't wear a two piece.... It's hard for me not to show a touch of cleavage sometimes as I am a DDD but i try hard to keep it controlled. You aren't alone

I've found that after losing so much weight that I'm more modest, but not "MODEST" at all if that makes sense. I do not hardly show cleavage, I wear short dresses just above the knee but that is because I'm short and I don't like longer dresses. I think a lot of it is now that I have a decent body I don't have to show off my boobs anymore because I have other great aspects of me now that I can show off, but I do wear things that cling to show off my new found figure.

I'm mixed. I used to be seriously modest, and wore long sleeved shirts and long skirts or pants even in the summer. The exception in the past (for whatever reason) has been I would wear somewhat low cut tops -- not "intentionally" but I wouldn't rule out a somewhat low cut top if it looked good on me.

For some reason these days I don't care so much. This summer when it got hot, I wore shorts in public which I've never really done much before. I even went running in running shorts! I'm not at the fittest I've been, I think I just think about my body less. I feel like if someone else is going to wig out about my cellulite and bat wings that's their problem, there are plenty of other places in the world for them to direct their eyes. I think some of the things that made a difference were: getting married, being hugely pregnant for a while (a magical but totally undignified state, IMO) and being more focused on my son and my various projects in life than worrying about how I look and how people take how I look. With that said, I definitely crave a cool climate in which I can wear cardigans and cords and boots all the time. And I would totally wear a victorian bathing costume to the beach if I could. (Well, I could and I would and maybe someday I will, but I am too lazy to sew one, so for now I settle.)

I'd say that I'm somewhat modest. I don't show much cleavage, but I do wear very fitted shirts and very fitted jeans/pants. By fitted, I do not mean too tight, but they do show off my now-smaller figure. If I wear dresses, they are usually flowy maxi dresses that either have spaghetti straps or are strapless. That's the extent of me... I'm pretty casual.

I like to wear sexy clothing. Most of my shirts show at least a little bit of cleavage. My boobs are big and awesome, why not? Hahah. I wear shorty shorts, yoga pants, tight jeans with holes, skinny jeans/ straight leg jeans, and lots of tank tops. And sometimes I feel sexy. It makes me feel attractive, which I very much like.

When I was bigger I wore baggy band tshirts and jeans, or I would wear sweatpants or pajama pants. I know, I know....pajama pants. But that was because I thought I was disgusting and did not want anyone to see my fat.

I think I'm a modest person. I don't necessarily dress modestly, though. I don't show cleavage because I don't have cleavage, but I like wearing form-fitting and flattering outfits. I love bright colors and things that shine. I think I dress nicely and look good, but I can't imagine the sight of me in a miniskirt with a sequins tank top will send anyone into a lust-filled frenzy.

What irks me, though, and not pointing fingers at anyone in this thread, but something I've seen in others, is when people say, "I'm a good Christian and I love my husband, so I dress modestly." Because that implies that those who might wear a short skirt or a bikini aren't good people and don't love their husbands, etc. It sounds like, "I'm a better person than you," which is pretty much the exact opposite of modesty.

And the phrase, "leave something to the imagination" is pretty strange. Certainly some bodies are more pleasant to look at naked than others, but there really isn't that great a variety in the naked body and genitalia department. Seen one, seen 'em all.

I wear very simple clothes. I go for comfort and simplicity, rather than sexiness. However, for me, comfort doesn't preclude tightness - a tight hugging top or leggings can be very comfortable. I don't like clothes where cleavage is showing (either breasts or bum!) because that feels uncomfortable, as if the item of clothing is falling off. I don't like that feeling. I like to feel my clothes are fitting me properly and won't fall off. I like to feel comfortable. It has nothing to do with modesty. I have a hard time understanding what modesty even means in this context. I simply have no interest in sexiness or impressing people - not because I'm modest or virtuous, but because this just doesn't interest me in the slightest.

<<~~~~~~~ummmm, I guess not.

Not me. To work, yeah of course I wear appropriate work clothes.
But wearing full length (practically) body suits does NOT sound fun. Especially in the summer! Shorts and a tank for me. When I have to wear dress pants to work in the summer, waiting for the bus is the worst, soooo hot! How do you stand it?
Do you ever go to parties? Feel like you just look different? I don't know, parties are about having fun, dancing, etc. and usually it is hard to do that while wearing restrictive clothes.
And why not wear PANTS? lol what is wrong with PANTS?
I do know many religious people who dress like you though.
But yeah, I love my style. I wear flattering clothes. I don't see why I should hide myself from everyone out there.
