Where is the line that separates modest from immodest? — We’re wondering that too.

I’m happy to announce that the winner of our June NCA Giveaway is…
Congratulations!
You will be receiving an e-mail from me as well as NCA and they will get all the details—like what skirt you’d like, where to send it, etc.
July’s giveaway is just around the corner, so stay tuned!
One of the things that we have seen in our Quick Reviews is that many women will layer a shirt under another shirt to make the outer shirt modest. We’ve had some discussion back and forth about whether this actually helps modesty, or hurts it.
In the Quick Review of this image, we all agreed that the white under-layer of this image turned an outfit that was pretty modest into something that draws all the attention to the bust. While nothing is shown, there’s no question where the eye will go.
The question is, does the fact that the item attracts the attention to the bust make the outfit immodest?
Turns out we’re not the only ones asking this question.
Modesty is not just about making sure we have our body covered correctly. It’s about making sure that we look like a lady (for those of us who are ladies, obviously). That doesn’t mean Victorian dresses with ruffles and bustles (oh please no!). It does mean dressing in a way that makes sure we will not be mistaken for a man. I’ve heard the quote “Your clothes should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you are a lady”. You want those you come in contact with to realize you are a lady; not a chimney sweep, a man or a prostitute. You want men to look at you and admire you; not look at parts of you because you are dressed in a sexy and revealing way.
Feminine modesty does not mean you always have to wear pink and be in a dress. But you should look for clothes that flatter your coloring and shape, but still keep you covered enough that you have some mysteriousness.
Behind this dress is an interesting story.
It was a stunning dress back in 1966. And in 2009, it’s still a winner.
The silver frock first worn by Katy Baxter’s granny has helped the teenager through to the finals of Miss England.
Katy, 18, had to wear something ‘recycled’ for her semi-final against 57 other girls a fortnight ago.
She said: ‘You could wear an old dress or make up something yourself from old crisp packets, as one girl did.
‘My mother had just had Gran’s old dress dry-cleaned two weeks earlier and she suggested that I tried it on. It fitted perfectly and I absolutely loved it.’ [Daily Mail – Teen sails into Miss England wearing the same dress her grandma was modelling in 1966]
