Christa Taylor is a modest clothing site on a mission. Not only is the mission to be a successful business and to sell modest clothing for women, but it also exists to combat the epidemic of abandonment throughout the word—widows and orphans without care. You can read more about this mission at their site, but I find it comforting to know that part of all sales go toward this mission.
The online store has five departments: Dresses, Skirts & Shorts, Coats & Jackets, Accessories and Swimwear.
Dresses
We’ve been featuring selections from the Dresses selection all week in our Quick Reviews. What we’ve found is a great, high class selection of dresses that fit multiple different venues. The dresses have great colors and style, with most of them have a high neckline. Many of them hit the knee on the models we reviewed, while some are slightly above, and some of them show off the shoulder.
The site shows color options on the main search page, instead of making you drill in and choose a color option—something I find annoying on other sites because they usually only model one color and it’s how to see how the other colors play out.
Skirts And Shorts
Although the department says “Skirts and Shorts” I was unable to find any shorts pictured in the list of items. My guess is that when they carry modest shorts, here is where you’d find them.
A majority of the skirts are long, falling mid-calf to below. There are two skirts currently in the collection that fall right above the knee. As with the dresses, the different colors have their own images.
Coats, Jackets and Accessories
Do you know the difference between a coat and a jacket? The length! If it’s meant to cover a majority of your clothing, it’s a coat, otherwise it’s a jacket.
In this case, Christa Taylor has three different coats for sale—two if you count that the red and the black are the same style, just different colors.
For accessories, there are two berets and a headscarf.
Swimwear
Their current selection of swimwear could mostly be summed up in two different suits—a Brown Retro Rouched Suit and a Baby Blue Suit. Both of these look more like clothing than swimwear—which is much of the point with modest swimwear.
There is also a section for markdowns for those that are looking for a deal on their styles.

I really like the long skirt in the middle of the second set of pictures. I can think of a few things in my closet I could wear that with. I’ll take one please! :)
Not sure if they still have any left? I should put something on this post talking about how Christa Taylor is no more. :( I think they cleared out of everything.
I know. I commented elsewhere that I wish I could have heard of her before she closed. It looks like I missed out on a good site. Sound like she had a nice selection.
To be honest, it was a bit pricey, but she did have quality stuff. I was an affiliate, and she and I’ve collaborated on things. I still hold her in high regard.
