Is This Modest

MInTheGap: We’ve had some discussion before about strapless dresses, and yet we also know that many women who are normally modest will wear something like this to their wedding. To reiterated, the strapless-ness is a mystery and it does show off the chest and the shoulders. Knowing this, I’m going borderline– because these dresses are usually modest in length and there’s no cleavage showing.

To some degree, you almost expect something like this at weddings, and so the allure isn’t as strong (at least not for me) because there’s a continual reminder that there is a groom. That doesn’t change the fact that women should avoid strapless gowns, but hopefully it provides a little insight.

Kristin: I’m not a big fan of this dress.  While I personally have no problem with some strapless dresses for formal-wear only, this top on this gown comes too low on the chest anyway.  If one is going to wear a strapless it should at least come up high enough on the bust to lay flat against the chest- this one is dipping even lower and the curve in the fabric just draws extra attention there.  I’m going with Borderline on this one because of the attention drawn to the chest.

Your Turn…

I'm a software developer by trade, though I like to write on various topics. I got my start in blogging at MInTheGap in 2004 writing about culture, politics and got started talking about modesty on this site just 3 years ago.
