Modest Designs are Back

Ladies Against Feminism is linked to an article about how ladies are demanding, and receiving, attractive but modest clothes. I think too many Christian ladies think that they have to be frumpy or androgynous in order to be modest. Many devout women in our town wear loose baggy jeans and shapeless tops with sneakers everyday, so that I have almost come to see such attire as a badge of piety. It is most likely more a question of comfort than of modesty for them, I am assuming. I am just afraid that the little girls will get the impression that staying home with children means that one cannot wear pretty clothes on a daily basis. The career women wear bright, stylish clothes. Now what does that say to our daughters? It says that being a housewife is dreary while having a career is fun. Not that it is preferable or possible for a mother to be glamorous all the time, especially with gardening, cooking and heavy housework to do, not to speak of vomiting babies. But it is always possible to be feminine. Share
