They do not change over time. What needs to be covered, needs to be covered -- Das Moshe. How they are covered changes over time, influenced by the fashion industry, but monitored by the G-d fearing Rabbis of the time -- Das Yehudis. However, a woman who lives up to the potential of the Woman of Valor (Eishes Chayil) who manufacturers robes and sells them, would be very fortunate, as she can maintain true Jewish modesty regardless of the fashion tides surrounding her.

One person's modesty is another person's immodesty, but we know that truth is not relative. On the subject of people changing, I have seen a lot of young people change after they get married. While under their parents' roof they abide by their parents' standards and then when they move out you find out what their own standards have been. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, it's just interesting to watch how people change. It’s hard to know where to draw the line.

Australia, stay true to your own feelings/values, you should feel comfortable and confident in what you wear. And no, none of us are perfect! Thanks for the comments!

For me it's difficult still living at home as my mom, sisters and I all have different definitions of what's modest. Ergo, many 'discussions' have taken place around here. I know that my view of where to draw the line has changed in some ways in the last 5 years or so...some ways I'm more conservative, while not so much in others. I try to go by whether God would be OK with it...or with what guy friends in my life (who've discussed this kind of thing with me) would be OK with as well. Alas, I am never perfect! :?

I like the idea of defining modesty in clothing. A lost discipline. This is a cool website. I like the idea of defining modesty in clothing. A lost discipline.
