Tie Back Cardigan

Filed under Female, Soft Surroundings

This tie-back cardigan looks comfortable, and is a nice color (though it comes in four different colors.  Some things I noticed: Button downs can be tricky, but the spacing here is small—meaning less gaping. Button down also allows for being more immodest in private—a plus for us husbands out here. The shirt seems to get [...]

How many of you know what a soutache is? A soutache is narrow flat decorative braid, a type of galloon, used in the trimming of drapery or clothing. In clothing soutache is used to conceal a seam. [Wikipedia] You learn something new every day, don’t you? This top is pretty in that it’s a nice [...]

The Marie top from Mia Bellina has a great look—especially in yellow.  The sleeves are cute, adding a bit of poof.  The length is terrific, I can’t even see the pockets.

Most of the swimwear at Divinita Sole are tankinis, mix and match style. That being said, some of them are more modest than others. This halter top has a band that also ties in the back, and seems to have less flowy material than the others. The band hangs out below the bust, and draws [...]

Metro SOS Tankini

Filed under Female, Hapari

The Metro SOS Tankini is much like the Hibiscus that we reviewed yesterday.  This skirt is a tad bit more modest, except that it also has more of a chance of flapping up as you enter the water. The top could be a little higher, but there won’t be the maintenance issues that you could [...]

Is This Shirt Modest?

What looks great on the rack may not look modest on your body.  With the fact that sizes are not standardized, an item purchased at one store may be different in size from a different store. So, when you’re trying to find out if that shirt you like is modest, try it on! That’s right, [...]
