Tips To Dress Modest

I know being a modest young Christian girl is hard. I find being modest so hard because on Ash Wednesday when I went to church I was the only young girl wearing a dress there.  I felt kind of awkward because all the other girls were wearing jeans that were so tight I could have seen the outline of a bobby pin in their pockets. I try to wear things that are cute, fashiony, modest, and Lord praising.

Here are some great tips about how to make sure you are dressing modest:

1. When you are wearing shorts, remember that they should be long enough that guys don't stare at your butt. I've known girls who thought that if they were wearing shorts, it wasn't their fault that guys would stare at them.  But you see, it is because we girls should not give that temptation to guys. Same policy stands for long jeans. Make sure they are not too tight.  They do not have to look like bags on you, just loose enough so that they do not see every outline of your skin.

2. Try not to shake your hips when you walk.

3. When you are wearing a dress, make sure that the dress is no shorter than the top of your knee.  You can always tell when the dress is too short when you bend over and the bottom of it literally shows your butt. If it happens to be as short as the top of your knee, when you bend over, just bend on your knees instead of bending over in it and being scandalous. If the dress is lower in top and you are wearing a tank top, the best way to make sure that no cleavage is showing is to bend over.  If a lot of your chest shows, it is too low.  If only a little shows, it should be fine.

These three things have helped me in dressing modestly as to honor God in the way that I dress.
