“What do you say to a modestly-dressed woman?”

———————————

“Your dignity’s showing!”

With the warm weather coming out, girls tend to show more skin and wear less clothing. It keeps us cooler and is also more attractive to the guys, so why not?

     As women, we should always be mindful of what we wear and how it affects those around us. More importantly, modesty is an outward sign that portrays an inward sign of security, love and respect for ourselves and others. By dressing modestly we show others the dignity that women inherently are given by God. We demand more than the attention that our bodily appearance gives on its own. We challenge others to love us for who we are, rather than for what we look like. On a more practical level, modesty also benefits women because it allows us to be comfortable by not being limited in how we can move without exposing more than what should be shown.

Before I met my fiancé, I struggled in some ways to dress modestly and I did not understand all of the affects it had on myself and those around me. Immediately after starting a relationship, I felt the desire to dress more modestly. I believe this is because every woman knows inside that to be truly respected and loved by ourselves and others, we must dress in a way that conveys that message. Not only am I happier and more secure than I have ever been, but my fiancé as well is so thankful for the way I choose to dress.

A guy’s perspective………..

“Modesty is not only an ornament, but also a guard to virtue.”
