Deseret Book is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and publishes several resources on "modesty" (use the search bar to also search for "modest"). Although the LDS philosophy behind modest dressing differs from that of many other groups, it has some of the strongest adherents to modesty standards in Western culture who operate many fine modest clothing manufacturing businesses. To summarize the subtle differences, the LDS church teaches that dressing modestly includes wearing religious undergarments that are fully covered by regular clothing in fulfillment of spiritual covenants for salvation, while most Christian groups believe that salvation comes through faith alone and that dressing modestly is an outward evidence of inward faith, as explained in the Bible study about modesty on the Fashion Belle site.
