Wow, Caroline, I stumbled across your site a few days ago, and have been very challenged by what I have been reading! It is all new to me! When I was converted ten years ago I stopped wearing very short skirts as I felt it was inappropriate as a Christian, but oth than that it has never occurred to me that what I wear could be immodest, I have never really heard the word before! I have not come across just wearing skirts! I certainly have a lot to think about, so thank you for being thought provoking and challenging. I have a few questions, if you don’t mind …
What scriptures talk about dressing modestly? How can I explain what modesty is to my six year old daughter – she loves wearing dresses but always sits so that you can see her underwear, I’m not sure how to discuss it as it is innocent to her. Also, what about on the beach or swimming baths? I personally hate bikinis as I don’t like showing off my body, but I don’t want to missout on swimming with my kids. The other thing is taking into account my husbands preferences. He isn’t a Christian, and loves to see me in tight jeans and jumpers – he would hate it if I suddenly started hiding my figure, what would you say is the rule there? I’d appreciate advice xxx xxx

Yes I agree, I always like nude colored undergarments under whatever white clothing I’m wearing. Sometimes it shocking to see red bras under a white or other light colored shirt, and sad to see that they did it on purpose I did have to tell a friend once that she really had to wear a slip with her white skirt because her white panties could be seen!

I had no idea this thread would get “heated”, It doesn’t take much when you’re talking about modesty. I’d just like to say for the “official” record, I think Caroline’s shirt is perfectly modest, I just don’t like wearing text myself because I’m um……… top heavy.

I wonder if the reason why teenage boys automatically say writing is a stumbling block is because the shirts that their peers wear are typically tighter and tend to say things like “flirt” “foxy” or worse ” you can’t afford me” Suggestive wording right across the bust coupled with curve hugging no wonder they stumble.

Legalism aside, our goal should be to be kind too men and even teenage boys. We all might have different ways of achieving this, but if we have the same goal I think everyone needs to tone down judgement and dial up the grace. (even me)
