Annie12 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Do any of the women on this forum know of where to get a beautiful formal modest dress online ( it doesn't matter how formal it is)? I think I checked out a website called Shabby Apple which had some lovely dresses but any other suggestions? and what constitutes modesty for a young lady around 19? Are gowns with straps okay?

MissyP89 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I found a beautiful sun dress that I wore to graduation last spring at J.C. Penney's. It was $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilllabettt Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 modcloth has some nice things if you search under "longer lengths" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) The dress I wore last night at my semi formal was from Macy's. It was reasonably modest and I love it. It was a little pricy though Edited February 19, 2012 by FutureSister2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilyAnn Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not being in the US, I'm not sure I can really help with where to get a dress. As modesty goes my general rules would be: shoulders covered, no low necklines, no cleavage showing, skirt length to at least about the knee, nothing skin-tight, nothing see-through, no slits.

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Also, Kathleen's Bridal and Formal has some great stuff (it's all modest formal wear), and Etsy has great stuff if I find a good store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were in a panic because the one I wanted wouldn't come in time, so we felt like we were in a rush! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayte Postle Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) [url="http://www.modestclothes.com/"]http://www.modestclothes.com/[/url] This site has a TON of great links to online clothing stores. You might have to do some digging through the site to find what you want, but I love this site, and use it all the time! p.s. the LDS section has a lot of great links.

TheresaThoma Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thank you all for this thread! I have to go to a cousin's very formal wedding in about a month and I have struggled with finding a modest formal (but not matronly) dress.
