Extra Modest Clothing Resources

Book: How to be a Hepburn in a Hilton World	In the title for her book, author Jordan Christy contrasts the qualities that movie star Audrey Hepburn possessed with those of celebrity Paris Hilton. The book's subtitle is, "The Art of Living With Style, Class and Grace." The author does promote "classy" life choices, despite using occasional mild slang or raw humor to emphasize some of her points. On the site, portions of the book are available for browsing (Chapter 6 is "Dress to Impress"). In a video interview which provides a quick overview of her book, the author says, "Self-respect, modesty and class are truly some of the most attractive qualities a girl can possess."
Book: Christian Modesty and the Public Undressing of America	In this 76-page booklet, conservative Christian author Jeff Pollard examines modesty in women's clothing using comparisons among popular Western culture, historical clothing trends and Biblical teaching. Readers should be cautioned that the author goes into extensive detail about elements of undress in society as he argues in favor of modesty.
Clothing Store: Works of the Heart Modest Apparel	This family-owned business produces several styles of simple tops, skirts, dresses, vests and nightgowns. The website does not display pictures of the finished products, and women's and girls' styles tend to be mixed together, but those who are looking for traditional or vintage styling may want to take the time to investigate this resource.
Clothing Store: Made With Love	Two young ladies who are friends maintain this site from which they take orders for several classic clothing styles that they sew for customers.
Article: Practical Helps for Modest Dressing	Mary Van Nattan Stephens writes about her site, "We are trying to provide Bible-based helps and studies for home makers." Her conservative list of clothing guidelines presents unique suggestions for staying comfortable in various weather conditions, especially for staying warm in cold weather while wearing dresses.
Wendy Shalit's Writings (link not provided)	Wendy Shalit is a Jewish author of three books about modesty and regularly appears as a guest speaker and contributing author in mainstream media. As a caution, reviewers of Shalit's books or her Girls Gone Mild website or Modestly Yours blog will find in her writings some explicit examples of immodesty in current culture as she argues the case for modesty. Shalit's well-informed work has had an impact in circles that sexually exploit women. Readers outside of those circles should be warned that the descriptions are at times disturbing. For this reason, we are not providing an active link, though you are welcome to investigate her work on your own.
Book: What Shall the Redeemed Wear?	The cover art on this book by Simon Schrock would appear to be vintage 1980s, and no content is available online by which we may offer an adequate review. However, the book appears to be a Christian Bible study about appearance, complete with study questions.
Book: What In the World Should I Wear?	This book written by Cathy Corle and published by Baptist Ink is probably from an Independent, Fundamental Baptist author with Bible references from the King James Version. No content is available online for us to make an adequate review.
Clothing Store: Sorella Bella	This company is also known as "LDS Sister Missionary Clothing Store" and provides a broad selection of modest resale clothing online at good prices. While we would like to be able to list this store in our primary listings due to the value of the product offerings, we are also aware that visitors to the Fashion Belle website come from a variety of religious backgrounds (our own is described at our modest clothing Bible study link), so we have posted our review of Sorella Bella here since the store's marketing is targeted to women who are serving as LDS missionaries.
Clothing Store: Modest Anytime According to Jewish Modesty	This retailer of women's (regular, maternity and nursing) and girls' clothing follows the modesty guidelines in The Tznius Handbook and Rabbi Eliyahu Falk's book, Modesty, An Adornment for Life, to ensure that inventory is kosher, and most of the garments are kosher mehadrin. The styling is not as modern as that of other stores reviewed in our main categories.
Sexy Girls Book by Haley DiMarco	Christian author and speaker Haley DiMarco seeks to connect with teenagers in popular culture who are disregarding faith in order to follow the world's trends. Her book Sexy Girls, which encourages modesty in appearance from a Biblical perspective, is filled with images and examples of immodesty in current culture. The message for modesty is strong, but because of the types of references included, the book is more appropriate reading material for someone on the farthest edge of a lifestyle of provocative appearance rather than for someone who is already acquainted with basic concepts of modesty.
Prosun Swimwear Wholesaler	Based in Malaysia, this wholesale company produces all types of swimwear, with a special emphasis on Muslim-style suits for the Muslim majority community in Malaysia. Because online ordering is not available and minimum quantity lots must be ordered for use by retail distributors, we have listed the company here rather than in our primary swimwear directory.
4Modesty Clothing	This tiny online store offers a couple of long skirts and a jumper style.
Covered 4 Him	A Torah-keeping Christian wife and mom who wears dresses and headcoverings encourages others in that lifestyle with practical blog posts and sales of handmade headcoverings.
Catholic Modesty Resources	Books, postcards and several sewing patterns from Little Flowers Family Press promote modesty from a Catholic perspective. Another similar website is Catholic Modesty.
The Modesty Walk Clothing Shop	Natalie, an Apostolic Pentecostal Christian, sells and gives away modest clothing and accessories from her Facebook shop and also maintains a fashion and lifestyle blog.
