Not sure why this short ended up on my feed, but thanks for bringing more positivity and grace into the world ❤
Whenever I need a modest outfit, I would go to an online muslim store, especially the one that caters more to modern fashion. They have great selection of long skirts, flowy pants, blouses and shirts. And since most Muslim countries are tropical, the fabrics they use are great for summer wear.
There's a film I watched that's since made me wonder why they make anything in blue and white stripes. You handled that gracefully. Not everyone would get it.
I’m a traditional Catholic and I also have a tricky time finding modest clothes that I enjoy. Fortunately for me I’m on the shorter side so knee length dresses are a bit longer on me. I did find a really cute white linen blend dress with black stripes at target, but it was a bit see through so I put a slip underneath and it’s perfect!
@nicolebarber If I had to guess, they probably attend the Traditional Latin mass or an orthodox rite, which are both Catholic masses just different kinds than the Novus Ordo. People who attend these rites tend to hold more "traditional" adherence to church teaching aka a little stricter. This extends to modesty, frequency of "optional" devotions such as the Rosary, liturgy of the hours, stations of the cross, daily mass, etc. As well as just about everything else. It's not necessarily adifferent sect, just a different way of practicing the Faith, typically more devoutly. I tend to go to a Novus Ordo, although I prefer TLM, and I hold pretty traditional views and habits as opposed to my Catholic peers for context. Hope this helps!
@@isabellagaines6868as a non-traditionalist Catholic just wanted to say you explained this super well and without being negative about either side so thanks for that 😊
@@isabellagaines6868I go to the TLM and the Novus Ordo mass, my Canon ( priest) from the church which only offers the TLM told me there's no such thing as " Traditional" Catholic. You're either Catholic or not. And yes I do all of the devotions and veil at all holy masses including Maronite Rite. You gave a beautiful explanation by the way ❤😊
I usually sew in a cloth panel or lacy frills into the slits. Adds a pretty touch of color and prevents the constraint of movement from sewing the slit shut.
I wish they’d stop putting those slits in every single dress!! I’ve bought a couple from target and didn’t realize they had it until I put it on at home, now I wear them to lounge around the house instead.
I think the slits are usually for mobility, as it tends to be lower quality fabric, that may be tight or tear with top much movement. But there's some amazing tutorials out there on how to cover them, either by just sewing them up or adding fabric into them to make it pretty
@@lollove9974 but then I wouldn’t have my lounge around the house dresses :) I don’t mind wearing them at home I just wish I didn’t have to think about the slit when purchasing.
Legit question from one who does not know: Could you just wear thick tights or leggings underneath the clothing with slits? I don’t purposefully dress modestly, but I layer much of my clothing like this to cover my skin when it is colder.
It depends on community standards. It also depends on the slit location and length. There is a concept in Jewish law that the slits *regardless* draw attention, which is immodest, even if you’re wearing tights underneath. I’m in a more mixed/open community, so sometimes I might wear tights underneath, but only if it’s a side slit that I already partially closed. Slit above the knee is a big no no
@@ElleMonzonshe shows her hair half the time then covers up half the time. She seems to be more of a hypocrite than an actual Orthodox Jew. Especially with how much make up she wears. But all religions are full of hypocrisy. None of them are worthwhile if anything.
thank you for posting and letting girls know that there are Many other girls out there that want to be modest as well, and that modesty can still be cute.
you can sew in a panel on the slit up the side :D it allows for more movement, and you can also add it in a pretty accent colour or pattern if you'd like :)
I like this video because you really show options for women who dress modest while not shaming women who choose not to do so. Also stores can do much better to have more modest clothing options that are fashionable apparently
With the jean skirts with the slits it would be pretty if you put a slip with frills underneath it so it would cover the slit with a little detail as well. Idk if you can wear lacy stuff but it would be a cute little fix. I really liked the jean romper. That would be cute and it could be dobe modest for sure.❤😊😊.
That’s such a cute idea! The problem is that lace is see through and anything above the knee cannot be see through. I wonder if they have such a thing that doesn’t have holes/isn’t see through and looks cute?
@RK-fz7qc OH okay I completely understand. I was too sure if that was permitted or not. But maybe something with a cute pattern that is completely opaque could still work 🤔?
Oh my gosh I dress more modest (not as much as her but still pretty modest) and slits are always a problem for me too. I see a cute modest dress and oh it has a slit 😂
I learn so much from your page! It’s really interesting info for someone who has never met an Orthodox Jew. You get straight to the point and make it seem more simple/easy than other people or info do/does
There’s always ways to modify your clothing for modesty. If you don’t sew, you can find a tailor that can sew fabric into the side slits of skirts & dresses, add length to skirts, etc.
Just an fyi if anyone tries the silky skirts - if you wear it to the office, you might find yourself readjusting your seating position throughout the day as the material doesn't grip well to the seat...wore it once and never again... great for a going out look though
I tend to shop in charity and second hand shops, because of personal preferences, and can find some pretty good modest clothes there. I don’t tend to be very modest in my tops - I often show my arms/shoulders and occasionally some cleavage, but I absolutely need good modest skirts for my preferences. I’m really lucky I live somewhere with great second hand shops, because I can find a lot of great modest vintage finds. (I dress modestly not for religious purposes, but just personal preference, so specific rules and standards aren’t really an issue)
I'm a Christian that has always dressed modestly. I rejoiced when Midi dresses became popular. You MUST act respectfully if you expect to be treated with respect.
Modesty isn't the problem, forcing women to dress a certain way is. That includes showing/ hiding skin. Also some women feel free and safe coverd. If depends who its for, this us for her, not anyone else x
She’s not saying it makes you a disgusting whore to wear them, she’s literally just saying she personally prefers to cover her knees.. relax, good grief
The second blue and white striped one you showed, the one on the plus sized mannequin- I own that! Super cute, honestly kind of short. Stops a little above the knee. Such a nice video! Love that you’re supportive
i recommend muslim stores online! they’re catering to modest clothing as well. also those slits are necessary so you can move freely. i recommend buying short dresses as long tops and pairing them with thighs/pants. if you see a cute shirt but sleeves/cut is short, pair it with longer/sleeved shirt underneath and if you wanna wear it on summer get a sleeved shirt and cut the body part, just leave the sleeves so you can still buy the short sleeve shirts. i don’t dress modest but i have friends who dress modest and i learned all of these from them. 😂
It actually helps keep the sun directly off your skin and most of the time they are airy enough to let breeze in. natural fibers are the key, it wont work at all with synthetic materials.
are you able to wear thick and opaque black/grey/brown tights underneath to help cover and the slit not be a problem? im not apart of any religion that has modesty rules but i love layering clothes for outfits and finding new ways to wear pieces thats more comfortable and flattering for myself, and i love to learn about how others with different beliefs dress and why and how they see clothing in a different way ♥️ much love. also the jean romper would be super cute with a pop of color long sleeve underneath with tights and you could change the color top and stuff you wear with it for infinite outfit possibilities to go with the seasons!
All the sad people who don’t know why she’d stay away from blue and white stripes 😭💔 I honestly never thought about not wearing blue and white stripes… but omg, I am now definitely gonna NOT do that! 😟
So I have two questions, if that’s ok: 1) the Jean, halter looking one with one strap, could you wear something like that with a sweater or cardigan covering the upper area? Or a shirt underneath? 2) do you have to cover that much? Or it’s a personal preference. Thank you to anyone who answers! If this is offensive, then ignore. I’m honestly just curious.
A lot of good ideas have been submitted for the slit in the skirt. I would make it into a decorative feature by adding fancy buttons on each side and then using a ribbon to tie or braid it shut.
With the dresses that have slits the best way to kind of solve the problem is to cut panels of a non see-through lace design or a pattern and you can have it be more modest if you like sewing
Just recently I started getting into dressing more modestly and almost threw out a dress I had from target because the slits were so high… I just hand stitched them together. The world doesn’t want us to dress modestly so we gotta learn how to sew lol
Thank you for educating us on your traditions and beliefs. The stripes… my jaw dropped. I had never even considered that. From the bottom of my heart, I am so sorry. Keep shining beautiful.
I tried on those first dresses, pink, and the striped. Oh my, they were frumpy as anything! Not cute at all. The ties were in the side, but didn't go around the back like a proper shirtwaist dress. Didn't buy them, so glad I tried them on.

The skirts with slits can be worn over leggings or opaque tights to make them more modest
I've sown the sides of slits if I really like the dress or skirt. Target is pretty good for tzius options. Shalom Chavera😊
You could always sew slits together or add a piece of fabric to them to close it up.
For the slits, add fabric, or if it won’t end up being tight, sew them slit together. Apostolic girlie here so I understand
I own the white dress with bows, if anyone wants to buy one make sure you also get a slip to wear underneath. It is extremely thin!
I love how you always find a way to present a modest style that is current without ever inserting any sense of shaming. It's all just positivity.
You could definitely do a denim skirt like that with a frilly skirt underneath for the modesty
If you really like the dress, but don't like the slits, you can always stitch them closed, or sew in a triangle of a complimentary fabric!
I cant imagine wearing that much coverage in 90+ weather 🔥 I would be dying in heat.
It actually helps keep the sun directly off your skin and most of the time they are airy enough to let breeze in. natural fibers are the key, it wont work at all with synthetic materials.
If you have time and can sew you can use other fabric to fill in slits. You can use lace layered on black or a colour to make a pop of colour.
I love that you’re saying that things would be problematic for you and not stating it in a way that seems negative toward others
on the 1st dress, my 1st thought was to maybe sew the slits? 🤷🏽♀️ it wouldn’t take too long & because they’re flowy, you’d barely be able to tell.
You can add decorative safety pins for the slits. But it’s for movement.
The first pink one would be super cute, and would be simple to sew up the slits
I'm LDS and we have modesty rules too. Anything with slits I sew them closed or wear a longer skirt with it. That way coverage but can still move.
are you able to wear thick and opaque black/grey/brown tights underneath to help cover and the slit not be a problem? im not apart of any religion that has modesty rules but i love layering clothes for outfits and finding new ways to wear pieces thats more comfortable and flattering for myself, and i love to learn about how others with different beliefs dress and why and how they see clothing in a different way ♥️ much love.

You can just sew up the slits, it’s pretty easy even if you are doing it by hand.
Damn, as a black person in America i can understand the blue and white stripes comment. We use our oppression as humor forr therapy.
I'd just sow the slits on the skirts. You can also change their design a bit by sowing pretty cloth over the slits to close them up.
"i try to stay from blue and white stripes" then almost immediately says a different blue with white stripes dress is perfect
So I have two questions, if that’s ok:
1) the Jean, halter looking one with one strap, could you wear something like that with a sweater or cardigan covering the upper area? Or a shirt underneath?
2) do you have to cover that much? Or it’s a personal preference.
