Actually it's quite hot when a man sews...

There's nothing like a man's finger getting stabbed by a needle, eh? :P

There's a wide spectrum for dresses when it comes to interpreting what "modest" means. That is, I know some women who feel comfortable wearing a strapless dress in the summer that doesn't show any cleavage, whereas other women I know aren't comfortable unless there are at least 2 inch sleeves. But then, modesty also really depends on a particular woman's build.

But if you're looking for something on the more "conservative" end of the modesty spectrum, I'd check out any LDS/Mormon websites. Mormons in general have very strict guidelines for feminine (and masculine, actually) modesty, and their dresses are GORGEOUS. :) Otherwise, I've been successful at the usual standards (Macy's, JC Penny's, Sears, etc).

Edit: DRESS BARN! How could I forget Dress Barn? I love them so much - you can find very pretty and modest clothing there. :)

If you don't appreciat the extra attention you could always privately ask him to stop. Rather than making a big deal out of it.

David's bridal has quite a few pretty and modest options. Clearly, they aren't one-of-a-kind and you have to sort through the scary ones, but they're reasonably priced.

I too, was going to say try a bridal shop such as David's Bridal. They often have a Clearance Section from overstock material. Also, perhaps, try a second hand store or Consignment shop. Just because those dresses are often less, does not mean they are not nice. I got a dress there for a Costume competion one year. It was beautiful and also they are A-line a lot of the times. Hope this helps.
