I couldn’t agree more
Everyone in my personal life is probably tired of hearing me rant about what young girls are wearing these days. It’s really a pet peeve of mine. I cannot believe that everyone else isn’t utterly shocked by the new fashion trends for pre-teens.
I don’t generally put buttons on my site since I’m lazy and like a clean look, but I’ll make an exception for the Moms for Modesty one. I couldn’t agree more.
* As a Mom for Modesty I believe in common-sense modesty for girls and young women.
* I believe in refraining from sexualizing our girls and young women.
* I believe that it is unwise and unfair to taunt boys and young men by permitting my daughter(s) to dress in an immodest manner.
* I believe that true beauty comes from within and I strive to teach my daughter(s) this truth.
* I will loyally shop at retailers that provide girls’ and young womens clothing that is modest, affordable and stylish.

Do you know about Colleen Hammond’s book, and website, Dressing with Dignity? It is quite good and has links to a lot of different vendors (some well known, others not so) of modest clothing.
May I also recommend True Girl Magazine? This magazine is aimed at Catholic girls, ages 12-19, and is a brilliant alternative to the usual sex-filled teen magazine like Teen Vougue and Seventeen. Lots of fun and fashion as well as Catholic catechesis. My sixteen-year-old daughter thoroughly enjoys it.
I’ve got 4 girls and this is something I always think about. My wife does all the clothes shopping and she does a pretty good job. No bare tummy’s, no sassy/rude sayings, no short-shorts, no words on the butt. Just nice looking, cute stuff.
