If you are having difficulty, remember layering! Camis and stockings don't fix everything, but they can help. And a shrug or bolero can cover up shoulders if the straps of a dress are too skimpy.

Like so: [url="http://www.belk.com/AST/Boutiques/Boutiques_Primary/wk43_After_Thanksgiving/Womens/Dresses/PRD~1500281077080/RM+Richards+Glitter+Velvet+Print+Dress+And+Bolero.jsp?off=18"]Belk - dress + bolero for under $60[/url]

Depending on the dress, another way to cover up the shoulders is to wear a nice shirt under.

--- they are having a sale!!!

Also [url="http://www.modcloth.com"]Modcloth[/url] has retro-inspired things. If you click on "dresses" and then "longer lengths" they have some cute, young, modest items.

I have seriously thought about dressing like that. I figure my Christian/non-Jewish/Non-Muslim friends would look at me weird.

My Catholic friend frequently tells me I look like a Hasidic Jew or a nun. It's because I layer like crazy and wear long-ish skirts most of the time.

These are some great sites. Now I have an idea of where to buy for new year's.

There's nothing wrong with it. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people hate on Muslim women for covering yet when a Catholic nun covers it is considered Holy and beautiful. What's the difference? There is none.

Personally I would never wear a modest dress ! Then again I would never wear an immodest dres either, something about changing 50 years of wearing mens clothing , call it a habit I am in, besides old fat guys in dresses, whew.

Land's End has really good dresses that wash well.

Actually, I really like the selection at JCPenney. The dresses are stylish and many and very modest (although I usually go for dresses that hit at the knee because I am short!). I would just suggest avoiding most of the Junior's section and you can find some very nice and modest items. (I love their [url="http://www2.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?GrpTyp=STY&ItemID=1961cfe&Ntt=cardigan&SelDim=6%7E&hdnOnGo=true&Ne=840+4+877+878+5+961+6+29+3+598+11+15+12+506+10+23+585+596+1031+8+18+904+903+969+949+833&submit%20search.y=0&SearchString=cardigan&submit%20search.x=0&N=4294959029&Nao=0&SO=0&PSO=0&cmAMS_T=XGN5&cmAMS_C=MERCH&cmAMS_Z=XGN5TOPOFRESULTS&CmCatId=searchresults"]Worthington cardigans[/url] as well!)

I like J.C. Penney's also. Also, Target in my area has been carrying some nice cute MODEST dresses!!! I'm glad we are keeping modesty alive!

What about Dillard's? You might have to put together a nice top with a skirt

target.

sorry, i'm don't have the money that some of those websites require. plus i like to try things on before i buy. because usually what looks good on a hanger looks dreadful on me.
