High Slit

Is This Modest?

MInTheGap: I’m actually glad for this pose– not because I believe the dress is modest, but I believe some people would believe that a high slit is ok because it doesn’t expose anything. The truth is, a high slit looks modest while a girl is standing up, but when she sits down her whole leg can be exposed.

If you remember, one of the things that I’ve said about modesty and the male mind is that the guy’s eyes are trained to look for and to see things that aren’t supposed to be seen. Slits that are too high invite that attention and opportunity.

Foy: Not to mention the fact that if she moved her legs apart, who knows what could be seen. It’s apparently a common practice now to not wear undergarments with fancy dresses – if a woman did that with this dress, a wardrobe malfunction may occur quite easily.

Erin: What else can I add? The heels, the slit…In the wrong part of town, she’d be mistaken for a different sort of lady.

Your Turn…
