Hi Sarah! I'm a Catholic bride planning my wedding next summer. It's so hot where I live, it is hard to find a "summer" wedding dress that meets my standards of modesty (also I don't believe in spending so much on a dress for one day!) Trying on the fitted gowns also makes me self conscious about my body, usually I wear loose fitting dresses & blouses. This video made my day, thank you!
Hi Emma! congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I am so delighted to hear that great news!!! if I may please wear what fits right for you Also , if I may share something a bit more personal on my wedding day I had a very heavy dress, but it was the dress in which I felt the most princess like and I felt so beautiful I chose it and never regretted it. I never even felt the weight of the dress and I absolutely loved my pictures. Praying for G.od to give you the address of your dream, many hugs and k
Emma, please visit your local thrift stores. They often have lovely gowns at lovely prices. And don't worry about your body; God will be looking at your soul. Isn't it nice to have a place where all sorts of modest women can share ideas? Good luck with the dress hunt and enjoy your princess day!
People very much misunderstand when they think being covered makes you hotter. It can, especially if you’re wearing tight fitting synthetic fiber clothes. But I worked at an 1850’s living history farm in the Southern US for two summers. I wore a cotton dress that went from neck to wrists to ankle with at least two petticoats underneath and an apron pretty much all the time. I also wore a cotton day cap as well (thin cotton bonnet). Having the sun hit your skin can really heat you up! When you sweat in cotton, it evaporates off the cotton and cools you. A full, breezy skirt really helps too since it touches your skin very little. Plus wearing a sun hat will keep more heat off. I wore a straw sun bonnet with a flap in the back to cover my neck. This allowed me to work out in our garden without being miserable even in 90°F (32°C) heat. And if people don’t believe me, look at Middle Eastern countries where loose-fitting light colored clothing is standard.
I used to do Medieval reenactment, and one thing you will be told over and over is to use natural fabrics. Our group used to take part in Canada Day celebrations and I once wore a lightweight wool dress with a cotton underdress. All those people who asked if I was too hot looked like lobsters at the end of the day. TBH, I was not 'cool' but also not unpleasantly warm.
Dear Ma'am Today you made me smile. I was in the hospital emergency room for 8.5 hours trying to achieve a normal sinus rhythm and get my blood pressure under 200. Turns out i was experiencing a thyroid storm. Viewing you, hearing your happy voice helped me through this day. Blessings on you.
I’m a Christian woman who likes to dress modestly and you just showed me where I can find slips, which are so hard to find these days! I’d definitely wear some of these outfits, which I find more appropriate for a woman of nearly 60. Thank you!
Yes!! I also prefer to dress modestly- and shopping for beautiful classy clothing is a struggle in our American culture. Great topic! Hope to see more like this video!
@@westberry1 Hi Westberry, as Sara's moderator I thought I would look into this for you. I found an online company in Florida and one in Israel. Yes, it can get very warm in Florida so I listed a couple of options. I would say to always check fabric content. I hope this is helpful. 🥰 1) www.devorahsecret.com/ 2) www.koshercasual.com/
@@Shoshi2048 thank you so much, I have been looking and asking some of my Jewish colleagues. These are reasonable prices and I could afford those. Thank you so much.
Sadly, something that most people don't seem to realize but that I firmly believe, is that people look much better covered up than they do showing so much skin. I am not Jewish, but I was raised to dress in a modest fashion and today, some 40 years since my parents passed away, I find myself dressing the way they taught me to dress. The outfits you modeled were beautiful and you sacrificed NOTHING by being modest!
A hot weather tip: spray the underskirt or slip with a sprayer in a very fine mist, not enough to dampen the top layer. Its like instant air-conditioning! I do this with my costumes at Renaissance fairs, and really, i feel cooler in the long skirts than in shorter skirts.
I’m not dressing up intentionally modesty, but It’s just way more comfortable for me to be more covered and flowy, especially in summer. Like, how can you wear shorts and tanktop when the sun is blasting like crazy, and those tight fabrics are sticking to your body, not letting the proper air flow and sweat removal. Another story is linen flowy skirts, pants, blouses. Lightweight, alows airflow, dries up quickly, protects from the sun(not uv, but overall from heat), let you move, dance, play, your skin don’t touch and don’t sweat onto nasty public surfaces. BLESSING!! (I refuse cotton at hot days, it keeps moisture a lot and don’t dry fast).
Sara you are so classy, pretty and stylish! I love staying cool! Natural fibers are my favorite tip. I adore how expressive your style is without compromising your ideals. If anyone tells me you can’t look cute while dressing modestly, I will point them to you! Frum but never frumpy! (Unless you wanted to be)
Absolutely beautiful Sarah! I'm not an orthodox Jew, but your tips in this video are very on point and helpful to those of us who are trying to be modest. Thank you. If you get tired of being a doctor.... Perhaps you can be a stylist! I also want to say the words you say at the end of your videos are incredibly powerful. Thank you!
Shout out for me. Walked into Walmart and found some long t shirt style dresses for $11 !!!! Thankfully I have a lot of duster, kimono and cover ups to pair.
I love your content. Your videos exude respect for other religions and cultures while showing pride and educating people about your way of life. I also love how kind you are and I admire you for letting women know they can care for their children and have a fulfilling career and it isn’t mutually exclusive. If no one has told you this today you are valued and loved 🥰
I live in the Dallas, Texas, area. Today is 108. I wear midi skirts and long-sleeved crew neck cotton knit tops constantly in the summer. Cotton absorbs and is ultra comfortable. It works for me, and I never have to think about the propriety of my appearance.
I'm not religious so i dont dress to any particular style but i just wanted to say how beautiful and elegantly you dress. I cant put an outfit together at all, you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing!
I grew up in what is, essentially, the desert. It doesn't make sense to wear less clothes when attempting to stay cool, the sun just roasts more of you more efficiently. Wearing loose clothes that cover as much skin as possible keep me the coolest when the temperatures rise above 100 degrees. I do love to stay cool❤
I live in Australia and every inch of skin that is not covered has to be slathered in sunscreen so you don't get skin cancer, and the sun will just heat up your skin anyway, so I wear cotton boho dresses skirts and shirts. I love all the colours and patterns too.
I remember a time when leaving the house in a dress without a slip was unheard of. Now, they're so hard to find. Not only are they wonderful for preserving modesty, but they also improve the line of the dress and feel luxurious against the skin.
I have started wearing a half slip as when I sit in a dress or skirt, they stick to my legs. I hate making a spectacle of myself trying to unstick I my garment and the slip helps.
@@IrishAnnieanother tip for that is to wear long bike shorts! Mine reach minimum to my knees, and help prevent chafing as well as accidental flashing.
@@SpringStarFangirl That’s a great idea! That way, I don’t have to worry about my slip sliding down. Thank you so much!!!! They are most likely slendering.
@@IrishAnnie I don't notice much of a slendering effect, but there, I do have more of a pear shape. I tend to sit in weird positions, so a slip just wouldn't cut it for me- I've been wearing shorts under my skirts for as long as I can remember.
@@SpringStarFangirl Me, too! For years, I worked with elementary school children. I would always wear bike shorts under my skirts because of windy days on the playground
You look fabulous! Not as if you weren't perfect before, but your fitness efforts are VERY EVIDENT and you are beyond gorgeous. ❤ this is absolutely wonderful, I am so happy for you, Sarah!
@frumitup If you haven't already, maybe share how you keep both modest & fit? I can't stand the immodesty and lewdness in gyms, so I gave them up, but would like some modest alternatives so I can stay strong & healthy. Shalom aleichem!
Good morning all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. I thoroughly enjoy you're content as a young Christian wife striving to be a woman dear to God's heart. I have been dressing modestly for a while now and honestly I've never felt more comfortable and confident. Reading about woman like Deborah and Esther in the Bible shows me examples of woman who are near to God's heart and I see them a role models. ❤
I’m rarely hot (I’m cold blooded and live in a climate where it’s cold most of the year), but loose, flowing, natural fabrics in light colors make all the difference.
My favorites are the white skirt with the shirt and tuniqe so beautiful ❤ so glad you are back , apart from mourning I hope everything was fine during the three weeks, my regards to everyone xoxoxoxo
I have dressed modestly for my entire adult life, but there are no Jewish stores near me, so I have developed the art of layering. Only recently have I discovered how much fun tichels can be. They are so much more versatile than the hat, which are almost always too large for me, unless I shop in the children's aisles. Finding a source for shells has given me so many more clothing choices.
I found, while on a trip to Egypt last month (July) that to keep cool and modest, wear loose fitting cotton or linen clothing. Traditional Egyptians do, men and women both. Even when the temperatures climbed to 114 degrees F, I was no hotter than I would have been at home wearing less modest clothing. Of course I wore sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat and stayed hydrated.
I love staying cool! 🥰 I enjoyed this video very much! I saw another Catholic woman watched/watches your videos and I am also Catholic enjoying your content. Thank you for sharing.
I love staying cool!! Welcome back Sara you must have been a busy Doctor Mommy with those kiddoes this summer! As a male who is a fan of your channel, I just wanted to add for men all the tips also apply, just that our clothing is generally cheaper, or so I have heard! Having grown up in New York and Florida, I learned very early about the benefits of long sleeves as protection from sun and bugs! My summer “uniform” includes long sleeve 100% cotton or linen shirts, which I too layer with a cotton short sleeved white cotton T shirt paired with 100% Khaki “Docker” style pants. I also will wear a long sleeved light blue, beige or pastel T-shirt alone or layer it with a short sleeve cotton linen shirt over if it is very hot. My reasons for my male modesty are that as a larger person of Jewish and Italian (i.e. hairy) descent, I just never liked that image of the guy sitting on his front stoop in a sleeveless T shirt! Plus I find exposed sweaty underarms (like when waving to a friend) really gross. In an effort to never appear sloppy, this look has worked for me. Yes I will wear shorts, but with age related things like swollen legs paired with cellulitis I try to spare my adoring public! As I my journey back to Judaism, perhaps my already modest choice in attire will pay off! Thank you again for your kindness and generous nature Sara! I live alone, so hearing an extra expression of love from another is much appreciated! Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA PS I do LOVE wearing sandals all summer, especially with freshly pedicured feet! In New Mexico its a nice treat and pretty much a three season choice,
I love staying cool! I don’t follow any religious modesty guidelines but I do cover myself more conscientiously in the summer to protect myself from the sun. I love pairing a sheer/see-through garment with a solid base layer, it’s one of my favorite combos! Thank you son much for another wonderful video ❤
I love staying cool! And I love watching you stay cool. :D My Beloved just spent three days in hospital (she is out now and getting better!) and, since I cannot drive, I spent the three days with her. I am a retired Certified Nursing Assistant, so I gave her round the clock care, allowing the hospital's nursing staff to attend to other patients. We had not expected to spend three days away from home, so I had only the clothing I was in when she was admitted! Ohhhh what bliss to get home and change! :D But it did show me something. While our city was sweltering under high heat, my Beloved and I were shivering, teeth chattering in a COLD hospital room! So I will ask you, as a physician, if you are attending people in hospital, please ASK them if they are too cold or too hot! To a hospital worker, walking here and there, in different temperatures in the hallways, treatment rooms and patient rooms, you may not know how cold these rooms can get! I am sure the temperature in my sweet partner's room actually hindered her recovery! Thank you so much for paying attention! You are a wonderful and caring person!
Hello, Sarah, God bless you and your family. I have come to appreciate dressing modest and it's much more to my taste. I find not dressing modestly is uncomfortable and I feel self conscious. Thank you for sharing how you dress modestly and still look amazing. It was such a wonderful blessing to see and hear your voice.❤❤❤
Same. I've always been on the large side, and wearing tight or revealing clothing always made me self conscious of certain features of my body. I gravitated towards modest/conservative styles of clothing for that reason, and I'm much more comfortable in my skin for it.
Hi, Sara! I agree 100% about the natural fabrics. Synthetic fabrics are so hot. I love your beautiful jewelry and scarf embellishments. You look so elegant!❤
Dear Sara & other women i know i know to hot is also nothing but right now here in The Netherlands it feels like fall so much rain, and it even was the coldest summer days sinds yeaaaaars so please send some heat to here!! Hahaha 🙃 but thanks to the most High we are in good health! And there is no excuse to not buy that cute dress 😉 Wirh love from Holland! ❤🇳🇱
I missed your posts greatly and am glad I get the chance to tell you that your focus on God has been a wonderful example and motivator to me. Thank you again for sharing God’s love with us all.
I love embellishing my head coverings with sparkly headbands! It’s so much fun! At an antique store I found some old clip earring that were so fun. I would never wear them as earrings but I clipped them to a fold on my scarf.
I love staying cool! My coworkers might poke fun at my "hippie" skirts, but those skirts are 100% cotton and so, so comfortable on these hot summer days. (I've made several all-cotton ruffled slips to wear under them too!) I'm not even religious, but I love being covered up and comfortable all year long.
What a lovely set of clothes combinations you have . I am not Jewish but I feel your aspirations in life are an ideal for others to live by. Thankyou from Australia.
I loved this video. My grandmother was a Christian woman who dressed modestly. Like her your styling is modest yet classy. She my grandmother was a teacher so modest and classy. I miss her.
Great video! I make most my own clothes. I’m tall too, 5’11” and it’s a struggle to find things that fit me and see modest. I’m loving the current “boho” styles that are similar to what I wore in high school in the 1970’s. I made your baked donuts the other day and they came out great! I ran out of all purpose flour and had to use bread flour for part of it and they were still light and fluffy. Take care!
Sara, you look amazing! You forgot to add confidence, you wear everything with confidence and class and it conveys! I feel for my children when they see how young girls are dressing today... God help these girls who do not know of their inherent worthiness and dignity. "But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea"
Just finished your latest modest post. Thanks so much for reminding me that protection, respect, beauty of the soul/heart & obedience is so much better than superficial sacrifice. You showed me SO many ways to do simple ways - if I choose not to panic - to look classy, practical, elegant, & obedient. Thanks again 💜
I love staying cool! That's a necessity where I live, in the SE USA, where the humidity is killer. I have a couple of very breezy, cool tops I wear a lot, but the button up neckline is a little low. So, I use a pretty pin to close the neckline at the top, and it works great. I'm OK with my elbows showing, but I do have a couple of tank tops I wear if my blouse is a little too sheer. Layering does have one advantage: when it's 95 degrees outside, restaurants are usually freezing, so it's good to go inside and not have chillbumps during the entire meal! I love all your videos and look forward to the days you upload. Shalom! ♥
As a frum woman living in a perpetually humid southern part of USA, I second all your advice. #1 tip is to wear loose natural fabrics. I would add ban spandex on all garments from inside out, top to bottom! My go-to style is a skirt with a loose top. I wear either a 3/4 sleeve or else a short or sleeveless 100% cotton t-shirt/shell that falls from sholder to hip with an open shirt for casual wear or a Channel style boxy collarless jacket for non-casual outfits. Loose sleeves are good because you can hold your armes up and catch the ac when you get in a hot car until cooled down!
Hi Sarah! Soooo pretty and fashionable! I'm half Ashkenazi Jewish and half Alaskan Inuit. I call myself a "Jewskimo"... I swear that (and I've researched a lil on this) - the Inuit have an issue with too much warmth - and I firmly believe that that fact paired with my being a middle aged woman has made me... I cannot stand being too hot - I can't do it. I live in the Chicago area and try to keep fairly modest - but sometimes, during the highest heat of summer I will do an errand or two wearing a tank top dress - I don't like it, but it's more of almost a medical situation in my mind. I applaud you and everyone who can dress modestly in the highest temps. So good to see you online again! Love, Jenny
I'm Ashkenazi and Indigenous Australian, a friend of mine came up with the term "didgerijew". As you can imagine, it gets dangerously hot where I live. I cover my knees, shoulders and cleavage but it stops there when it's hot. Thankfully I am reform so I'm not restricted by unrealistic rules.
@@angelawossname wow sooo cool! Very nice to 'meet you'!!! I was raised very very very reform too - but totes understand other ppls desire to be more 'frum' in dress... I shake your hand in very mixed Jewishness!! lol! Jenny
I love staying cool! My favorite tip was to wear natural fabrics. Cotton is a good choice but linen is better. Linen comes from the flax plant and it has very long stalks and pretty flowers all the way at the top. This means the plant has to draw water allll the way up that long stem! When turned into fabric this means that it is good at drawing moisture away from your body and absorbing it. Linen is unfortunately not very common but I have found nice pieces at the thrift store and on sites like etsy and poshmark.
Thankyou for your interesting explanation of why flax is cooler! Hemp is also cooler, for much the same reasons. Cheaper hemp and linen clothing looks terrible because of all the wrinkles! But I got a tunic at A sports store on 70% off and it is amazing! Looks great right out of the dryer.😊
I love staying cool. And I love your vids. I am Christian, but I really enjoy learning about other faiths. You are a blessing & a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!

Shalom Sarah! "I love staying cool!!" I so appreciate your modest and cool clothing advice! Your head coverings are beautiful!! I am in the conversion process to Orthodox Judaism and changing my life on every level. Clothing is so important! Thank you so much for the links also!
Hi Sarah! I love your fashion sense and style, especially the accoutrements to your head scarf! My mother is a devout Catholic and follows similar clothing practices - looser clothing, tasteful jewelry and low key shirts. Thank you for working so hard to bring us wonderful videos of Orthodox culture and practices-blessings to you and your family!
I am an older lady who likes to dress modestly,it is hard to find modest clothing here in the UK.Thank you.❤ I love your clothes and the store clothes! You look beautiful.❤
I love staying cool -- and i love you, dear Sara! I've recently had to give up wearing pants, as i have a physical disability that i conceal by wearing long skirts. The summers where i live in Northern California are notorious for being hot (over 110° F is quite common), so dressing for the heat can be challenging. While i use many of the tips you suggested, i have one that might help: cotton half slips. Yes, you can buy them almost anywhere online and through catalogs, but i make mine using men's extra-long , lightweight tee shirts. They are absorbent and breathable, get softer with each washing, and don't stick to my legs like nylon. Another trick is talcum powder. Body powder made from corn starch will become a sticky mess, leading to skin rashes. Talc will keep you dry. Best wishes to all for cool, stylish, and blessed summer!
I feel so close to G-d when I watch your videos. I'm one of the only Jewish people in my area and its so amazing to see others like me. Keep up the good work!
I love staying cool! Another thing to consider for those that may worry about heat-- the direct sun on your skin feels much hotter than most breathable fabrics! Im in central Texas where we have been having over 100° days most of the summer and even a navy colored sleeve has made my skin more comfortable than the harsh sun (light colors work best though)
Hello Sarah, I was so happy to see you posted a new video. You’re my all time favorite TH-camr. I’ve always dressed modestly because it’s how I feel more comfortable. I’ve been criticized for this and after watching your video I saw I made the right choice. You have a great sense of style. Your calm demeanor and soft voice is very relaxing. Thank you and welcome back ❤ Btw: I love to stay cool
Several years ago I made the commitment to be modest full time, as well as covering my hair. It’s not always been easy living in a small town. I do also prefer mostly natural fibers like linen, cotton, wool, etc but it does limit my options as well.
@@theherbalsanctuary811 I think it’s a common problem🤣 I started using strong clips to keep things on, and will sometimes even use the tichel style, like Sara, and that for sure stays on for me because it’s further forward onto the forehead a bit. But yes, there are times I resort to baseball caps (cute ones if I can find them😜). I am considering even making a little lacy “snood” to cover my bun when I’m wear the baseball caps. My mom made us some when we were little girls and they were so pretty and adorable.
@@mrshippyhebrew8213 I remember snoods! gosh, hadn't thought of those. My mom use to wear a wig, but as the summers here can get into the high 90's and low 100's she stopped and every week would go get her hair teased and styled. then occasionally would wear a head scarf. so many traditions have gone by the wayside. perhaps our young can bring them back.
You have such a fun fashion sense! I love all the little extra bits you add to your headscarves, and the color & pattern combinations you make in your outfits. All the different variations of shells seem very useful.
The frost long dress, and the dressy blue outfit at the end we're my favorites. I also live in denim. Being a Conservative Christian I always with dress modestly. While I do wear slacks, I regularly do the Layered thing, and wear sleeves below the elbow, and a high neckline. Frequently I wear sleeveless turtleneck under my long-sleeve, because I don't want my neckline exposed. I totally appreciate what you are sharing!
Dr. Malka - love your channel! Every outfit you showcased were beautiful and winners 🥇 The light colored blouses and skirts with flow and movement were exquisite 👍 . By accessorizing with jewelry and using appliqués placed the cherry on the cake! Well done!
I love staying cool! Your outfits are similar to what I would wear year round, I live close to the equator and modest dressing is norm. Layering, natural fabrics, loose clothing, light fabrics are really help to beat the heat. I will try to get the Chambray too. Head covering is also good for the hair. Good to have you back Sara after a long break ❤
I absolutely LOVE your pink shirt dress, it is SO beautiful! ( edited: I read the links!) I am so inspired by your ornaments on your tichel. I’m not orthodox but I like to protect my hair in the summer. Again, you bring such joy and beauty to my TH-cam subscriptions. Thank you 💛
When I attend mass, I wear modest clothes and cover my hair with a veil. It's very difficult finding clothes that are appropriate. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks and these lovely modest outfit inspirations. I live in the south where it is quite warm, and the hot sticky summer months seem to drag by. Dressing modestly during this season can be tricky, and it is practically impossible to find modest clothing at local stores, except at thrift stores. I try to find fabrics that are light weight, but thick enough I don't have to layer in the summer, flowy bottoms, and light colors. I would love to find more online options that offer modest clothing at decent prices; if anyone has any suggestions, thanks in advance.
I love all your outfits and I would wear many of them. I am not Jewish but I do dress modestly for the most part. I love loose, flowy dresses. The first dress is one I would definitely wear. I loved it.
I am not religious at all but I don’t like exposing my skin for a variety of reasons. These are great tips! I am grateful for the increased visibility of modest dressing - having options for sun protection, just not wanting to show that much leg or neckline lol, swimwear that isn’t a bikini, is awesome. We should all have autonomy over how much of ourselves we show the outside world ❤️
Hello Sara, I am not Jewish but as someone who loves accessories I love to see how you accessorized your head covering with headbands, appliqués, and various ribbon tying techniques. At the risk of sounding odd, I mean this into the most complimentary way, you have a beautiful sounding voice and wonderful cadence. So feminine and melodic. ❤
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I love the clothing you've chosen but it's way too young for me. However I do believe becoming and modest clothing is something every woman should wear. I would really appreciate seeing what is considered in good taste for ladies in the late grandma ages.
I was so excited to see you today! We also believe in modesty, although not as covered as your standards. Thank you for sharing your faith and gentle ways with us. PS-have you been losing weight? You look great!
Sarah…you always say at the end of every video: so you know you are not alone, I know you are talking of opinions and thoughts, but I want you to know that I keep you in my thoughts and prayers…so, truly, you are not alone 😊
Hi Sarah! I'm a Catholic bride planning my wedding next summer. It's so hot where I live, it is hard to find a "summer" wedding dress that meets my standards of modesty (also I don't believe in spending so much on a dress for one day!) Trying on the fitted gowns also makes me self conscious about my body, usually I wear loose fitting dresses & blouses. This video made my day, thank you!
Hi Emma!
congratulations on your upcoming wedding. I am so delighted to hear that great news!!!
if I may please wear what fits right for you
Also , if I may share something a bit more personal on my wedding day I had a very heavy dress, but it was the dress in which I felt the most princess like and I felt so beautiful I chose it and never regretted it. I never even felt the weight of the dress and I absolutely loved my pictures. Praying for G.od to give you the address of your dream, many hugs and k
Mormon wedding dresses. They usually cover to the collarbone and have sleeves.
@@frumitup Thank you Sarah! ❤️
Blessings on your wedding! May your marriage be a blessing.
Emma, please visit your local thrift stores. They often have lovely gowns at lovely prices. And don't worry about your body; God will be looking at your soul. Isn't it nice to have a place where all sorts of modest women can share ideas? Good luck with the dress hunt and enjoy your princess day!
I love that what you show is *actually* modest.
People very much misunderstand when they think being covered makes you hotter. It can, especially if you’re wearing tight fitting synthetic fiber clothes. But I worked at an 1850’s living history farm in the Southern US for two summers. I wore a cotton dress that went from neck to wrists to ankle with at least two petticoats underneath and an apron pretty much all the time. I also wore a cotton day cap as well (thin cotton bonnet). Having the sun hit your skin can really heat you up! When you sweat in cotton, it evaporates off the cotton and cools you. A full, breezy skirt really helps too since it touches your skin very little. Plus wearing a sun hat will keep more heat off. I wore a straw sun bonnet with a flap in the back to cover my neck. This allowed me to work out in our garden without being miserable even in 90°F (32°C) heat. And if people don’t believe me, look at Middle Eastern countries where loose-fitting light colored clothing is standard.
I used to do Medieval reenactment, and one thing you will be told over and over is to use natural fabrics. Our group used to take part in Canada Day celebrations and I once wore a lightweight wool dress with a cotton underdress. All those people who asked if I was too hot looked like lobsters at the end of the day. TBH, I was not 'cool' but also not unpleasantly warm.
Dear Ma'am
Today you made me smile. I was in the hospital emergency room for 8.5 hours trying to achieve a normal sinus rhythm and get my blood pressure under 200. Turns out i was experiencing a thyroid storm. Viewing you, hearing your happy voice helped me through this day. Blessings on you.
I’m a Christian woman who likes to dress modestly and you just showed me where I can find slips, which are so hard to find these days! I’d definitely wear some of these outfits, which I find more appropriate for a woman of nearly 60. Thank you!
Yes!! I also prefer to dress modestly- and shopping for beautiful classy clothing is a struggle in our American culture. Great topic! Hope to see more like this video!
@@yourstruly9448, it truly is and it's frustrating. But, I keep at it because I'm only going to dress to glorify God!
@@westberry1 Hi Westberry, as Sara's moderator I thought I would look into this for you. I found an online company in Florida and one in Israel. Yes, it can get very warm in Florida so I listed a couple of options. I would say to always check fabric content. I hope this is helpful. 🥰

Sadly, something that most people don't seem to realize but that I firmly believe, is that people look much better covered up than they do showing so much skin. I am not Jewish, but I was raised to dress in a modest fashion and today, some 40 years since my parents passed away, I find myself dressing the way they taught me to dress. The outfits you modeled were beautiful and you sacrificed NOTHING by being modest!
Thank you for your kind words 🥰🥰🥰
I agree with you most people are more beautiful covering than exposed!
Sara not only do I love staying cool, I am blown away by how ingenious your dressing is. Getting the look AND staying modest AND cool. Cant beat it.
You are adorable , thank you
As a Jewish woman, I truly appreciate all of your tips for dressing modestly. You are always such an inspiration!
Awww thank you Melinda 🥰🥰🥰
A hot weather tip: spray the underskirt or slip with a sprayer in a very fine mist, not enough to dampen the top layer. Its like instant air-conditioning! I do this with my costumes at Renaissance fairs, and really, i feel cooler in the long skirts than in shorter skirts.
I love staying cool ! I’m in the hot State of Texas!!!
I like the cotton shells , sleeves and no sleeves.
Though I myself and not Jewish I adore your videos. Learning of other faiths always interest me. Very soothing and informative. Thank you so much
I’m not dressing up intentionally modesty, but It’s just way more comfortable for me to be more covered and flowy, especially in summer. Like, how can you wear shorts and tanktop when the sun is blasting like crazy, and those tight fabrics are sticking to your body, not letting the proper air flow and sweat removal.
Another story is linen flowy skirts, pants, blouses. Lightweight, alows airflow, dries up quickly, protects from the sun(not uv, but overall from heat), let you move, dance, play, your skin don’t touch and don’t sweat onto nasty public surfaces. BLESSING!!
(I refuse cotton at hot days, it keeps moisture a lot and don’t dry fast).
Sara you are so classy, pretty and stylish! I love staying cool! Natural fibers are my favorite tip. I adore how expressive your style is without compromising your ideals. If anyone tells me you can’t look cute while dressing modestly, I will point them to you! Frum but never frumpy! (Unless you wanted to be)
You are so sweet Kelly, thank you so so much 🥰🥰🥰
Your comment touched me so much and it will go in my comment book hall of fame
Yes! Linen, hemp & cotton are a summer must! I love staying cool
Absolutely beautiful Sarah! I'm not an orthodox Jew, but your tips in this video are very on point and helpful to those of us who are trying to be modest. Thank you. If you get tired of being a doctor.... Perhaps you can be a stylist! I also want to say the words you say at the end of your videos are incredibly powerful. Thank you!
Shout out for me. Walked into Walmart and found some long t shirt style dresses for $11 !!!!
Thankfully I have a lot of duster, kimono and cover ups to pair.
The white dress with embroidery , i love staying cool
I love your content. Your videos exude respect for other religions and cultures while showing pride and educating people about your way of life. I also love how kind you are and I admire you for letting women know they can care for their children and have a fulfilling career and it isn’t mutually exclusive. If no one has told you this today you are valued and loved 🥰
I live in the Dallas, Texas, area. Today is 108. I wear midi skirts and long-sleeved crew neck cotton knit tops constantly in the summer. Cotton absorbs and is ultra comfortable. It works for me, and I never have to think about the propriety of my appearance.
Sounds great!
I'm not religious so i dont dress to any particular style but i just wanted to say how beautiful and elegantly you dress. I cant put an outfit together at all, you make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing!
I grew up in what is, essentially, the desert. It doesn't make sense to wear less clothes when attempting to stay cool, the sun just roasts more of you more efficiently. Wearing loose clothes that cover as much skin as possible keep me the coolest when the temperatures rise above 100 degrees. I do love to stay cool❤
I live in Australia and every inch of skin that is not covered has to be slathered in sunscreen so you don't get skin cancer, and the sun will just heat up your skin anyway, so I wear cotton boho dresses skirts and shirts. I love all the colours and patterns too.
I remember a time when leaving the house in a dress without a slip was unheard of. Now, they're so hard to find. Not only are they wonderful for preserving modesty, but they also improve the line of the dress and feel luxurious against the skin.
I have started wearing a half slip as when I sit in a dress or skirt, they stick to my legs. I hate making a spectacle of myself trying to unstick I my garment and the slip helps.
@@IrishAnnieanother tip for that is to wear long bike shorts! Mine reach minimum to my knees, and help prevent chafing as well as accidental flashing.
@@SpringStarFangirl That’s a great idea! That way, I don’t have to worry about my slip sliding down. Thank you so much!!!! They are most likely slendering.
@@IrishAnnie I don't notice much of a slendering effect, but there, I do have more of a pear shape. I tend to sit in weird positions, so a slip just wouldn't cut it for me- I've been wearing shorts under my skirts for as long as I can remember.
@@SpringStarFangirl Me, too! For years, I worked with elementary school children. I would always wear bike shorts under my skirts because of windy days on the playground
I love staying cool - and feeling elegant.
You look fabulous! Not as if you weren't perfect before, but your fitness efforts are VERY EVIDENT and you are beyond gorgeous. ❤ this is absolutely wonderful, I am so happy for you, Sarah!
I noticed the same thing! Sarah is so fit & strong! She looks amazing.
@frumitup If you haven't already, maybe share how you keep both modest & fit? I can't stand the immodesty and lewdness in gyms, so I gave them up, but would like some modest alternatives so I can stay strong & healthy. Shalom aleichem!
Wowza! Your a Fabulous Godly Example of a Women of faith, with all modesty, class & style. Love you Sarah Shalom Shalom ❤❤👭💋💋
As a modest Christian woman, I dress modestly. I tell folks that I am a female by DNA, a girl at heart, a woman by age, but a lady by choice.
A cotton slip!? What a treat! I am so excited! I LOVE DRESS SHOPPING AND MODEST IS HOTTEST ! (I mean that modesty is the. It’s desirable)
Good morning all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. I thoroughly enjoy you're content as a young Christian wife striving to be a woman dear to God's heart. I have been dressing modestly for a while now and honestly I've never felt more comfortable and confident. Reading about woman like Deborah and Esther in the Bible shows me examples of woman who are near to God's heart and I see them a role models. ❤
Thank you Nadine: I feel the same way : protected, confident , accompanied by G.od
May G.od bless your path with love and success sweet friend 🥰🥰🥰
I am also from Cape Town South Africa! We love you, Sarah! You’re inspirational!❤
@@nicolefenner awwww thank youuuuuuuu
Sara, I love your fashion sense and creativity with your head scarves. You look absolutely wonderful! Stay cool during these warm months. 💗
Thank you! You too sweet Monica:)
I'm Catholic and follow similar modesty rules. This was a great video! Thank you.
As do I! I need to find some of those shells!
@giraffesinc.2193 I order mine from kosher casual. They come from Israel
@@amandajames5351 Thank you!!!! Oh my goodness, I just looked ... they have everything!!
@@amandajames5351 thanks for the tip.
@@amandajames5351Do they have plus sizes? The ads I see on my phone only show young ladies.
I love staying cool! Floaty loose skirts and dresses are the best for not overheating, and so glamorous too!
I love staying cool and I love how peaceful you make me feel. I needed you today. Thank you! 😊
awww praying for your soul to be at peace and for you to feel uplifted xoxoxo
I’m rarely hot (I’m cold blooded and live in a climate where it’s cold most of the year), but loose, flowing, natural fabrics in light colors make all the difference.
Hello Sarah it’s been a long I missed you so much am so excited you’re back 💃🏽
Yay! Thank you!
My favorites are the white skirt with the shirt and tuniqe so beautiful ❤ so glad you are back , apart from mourning I hope everything was fine during the three weeks, my regards to everyone xoxoxoxo
I have dressed modestly for my entire adult life, but there are no Jewish stores near me, so I have developed the art of layering. Only recently have I discovered how much fun tichels can be. They are so much more versatile than the hat, which are almost always too large for me, unless I shop in the children's aisles. Finding a source for shells has given me so many more clothing choices.
I found, while on a trip to Egypt last month (July) that to keep cool and modest, wear loose fitting cotton or linen clothing. Traditional Egyptians do, men and women both. Even when the temperatures climbed to 114 degrees F, I was no hotter than I would have been at home wearing less modest clothing. Of course I wore sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat and stayed hydrated.
That is amazing Paula! I hope
You enjoyed your trip!!
"I love staying cool!"
I love staying cool! 🥰
I enjoyed this video very much! I saw another Catholic woman watched/watches your videos and I am also Catholic enjoying your content. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you!
I like staying cool!!!!
I love staying cool!! Welcome back Sara you must have been a busy Doctor Mommy with those kiddoes this summer! As a male who is a fan of your channel, I just wanted to add for men all the tips also apply, just that our clothing is generally cheaper, or so I have heard! Having grown up in New York and Florida, I learned very early about the benefits of long sleeves as protection from sun and bugs!
My summer “uniform” includes long sleeve 100% cotton or linen shirts, which I too layer with a cotton short sleeved white cotton T shirt paired with 100% Khaki “Docker” style pants. I also will wear a long sleeved light blue, beige or pastel T-shirt alone or layer it with a short sleeve cotton linen shirt over if it is very hot.
My reasons for my male modesty are that as a larger person of Jewish and Italian (i.e. hairy) descent, I just never liked that image of the guy sitting on his front stoop in a sleeveless T shirt! Plus I find exposed sweaty underarms (like when waving to a friend) really gross. In an effort to never appear sloppy, this look has worked for me. Yes I will wear shorts, but with age related things like swollen legs paired with cellulitis I try to spare my adoring public!
As I my journey back to Judaism, perhaps my already modest choice in attire will pay off! Thank you again for your kindness and generous nature Sara! I live alone, so hearing an extra expression of love from another is much appreciated!
Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA
PS I do LOVE wearing sandals all summer, especially with freshly pedicured feet! In New Mexico its a nice treat and pretty much a three season choice,
I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK! ❤️
I love staying cool! I don’t follow any religious modesty guidelines but I do cover myself more conscientiously in the summer to protect myself from the sun. I love pairing a sheer/see-through garment with a solid base layer, it’s one of my favorite combos! Thank you son much for another wonderful video ❤
I love your style! It’s modest but also elegant. I love your videos! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Sara. I've been looking so forward to one of your videos! They're always so interesting, fun and educational about Jewish life. 😄
thank you Amelia! I Am so happy you are here!
I just discovered linen... The perfect fabric for the desert where I live. Modesty is lovely
I love staying cool! And I love watching you stay cool. :D My Beloved just spent three days in hospital (she is out now and getting better!) and, since I cannot drive, I spent the three days with her. I am a retired Certified Nursing Assistant, so I gave her round the clock care, allowing the hospital's nursing staff to attend to other patients. We had not expected to spend three days away from home, so I had only the clothing I was in when she was admitted! Ohhhh what bliss to get home and change! :D
But it did show me something. While our city was sweltering under high heat, my Beloved and I were shivering, teeth chattering in a COLD hospital room! So I will ask you, as a physician, if you are attending people in hospital, please ASK them if they are too cold or too hot! To a hospital worker, walking here and there, in different temperatures in the hallways, treatment rooms and patient rooms, you may not know how cold these rooms can get! I am sure the temperature in my sweet partner's room actually hindered her recovery! Thank you so much for paying attention! You are a wonderful and caring person!
So beautiful and classy. I love how kind and peaceful you are.
Hello, Sarah, God bless you and your family. I have come to appreciate dressing modest and it's much more to my taste. I find not dressing modestly is uncomfortable and I feel self conscious. Thank you for sharing how you dress modestly and still look amazing. It was such a wonderful blessing to see and hear your voice.❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
and PS I am like you: I LOVE DRESSING MODESTLY and without it : it feels very uncomfortable!
xoxox have a blessed week!
Same. I've always been on the large side, and wearing tight or revealing clothing always made me self conscious of certain features of my body. I gravitated towards modest/conservative styles of clothing for that reason, and I'm much more comfortable in my skin for it.
So good! Really there is nothing more comfortable than a maxi dress! It's like a giant tee shirt.
Hi, Sara! I agree 100% about the natural fabrics. Synthetic fabrics are so hot. I love your beautiful jewelry and scarf embellishments. You look so elegant!❤
Dear Sara & other women i know i know to hot is also nothing but right now here in The Netherlands it feels like fall so much rain, and it even was the coldest summer days sinds yeaaaaars so please send some heat to here!! Hahaha 🙃 but thanks to the most High we are in good health! And there is no excuse to not buy that cute dress 😉 Wirh love from Holland! ❤🇳🇱
I missed your posts greatly and am glad I get the chance to tell you that your focus on God has been a wonderful example and motivator to me. Thank you again for sharing God’s love with us all.
I love embellishing my head coverings with sparkly headbands! It’s so much fun! At an antique store I found some old clip earring that were so fun. I would never wear them as earrings but I clipped them to a fold on my scarf.
I love staying cool! My coworkers might poke fun at my "hippie" skirts, but those skirts are 100% cotton and so, so comfortable on these hot summer days. (I've made several all-cotton ruffled slips to wear under them too!) I'm not even religious, but I love being covered up and comfortable all year long.
What a lovely set of clothes combinations you have . I am not Jewish but I feel your aspirations in life are an ideal for others to live by. Thankyou from Australia.
I love staying cool! You've been missed ❤
You're the best! thank you for your kind words!
I loved this video. My grandmother was a Christian woman who dressed modestly. Like her your styling is modest yet classy. She my grandmother was a teacher so modest and classy. I miss her.
Great video! I make most my own clothes. I’m tall too, 5’11” and it’s a struggle to find things that fit me and see modest. I’m loving the current “boho” styles that are similar to what I wore in high school in the 1970’s. I made your baked donuts the other day and they came out great! I ran out of all purpose flour and had to use bread flour for part of it and they were still light and fluffy. Take care!
I LOVE fellow tall girlies!!
We have to stand united 🥰
I loved making my own clothes but to be honest I’m so short on time !!
Sara, you look amazing! You forgot to add confidence, you wear everything with confidence and class and it conveys! I feel for my children when they see how young girls are dressing today... God help these girls who do not know of their inherent worthiness and dignity. "But whoso shall cause one of these little ones who believe in Me to fall, it were better for him that a millstone were hung about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea"
You are right!! Feeling good about oneself is a must to add to the outfit ❤️❤️❤️
Just finished your latest modest post. Thanks so much for reminding me that protection, respect, beauty of the soul/heart & obedience is so much better than superficial sacrifice. You showed me SO many ways to do simple ways - if I choose not to panic - to look classy, practical, elegant, & obedient. Thanks again 💜
I love staying cool! That's a necessity where I live, in the SE USA, where the humidity is killer. I have a couple of very breezy, cool tops I wear a lot, but the button up neckline is a little low. So, I use a pretty pin to close the neckline at the top, and it works great. I'm OK with my elbows showing, but I do have a couple of tank tops I wear if my blouse is a little too sheer. Layering does have one advantage: when it's 95 degrees outside, restaurants are usually freezing, so it's good to go inside and not have chillbumps during the entire meal! I love all your videos and look forward to the days you upload. Shalom! ♥
As a frum woman living in a perpetually humid southern part of USA, I second all your advice. #1 tip is to wear loose natural fabrics. I would add ban spandex on all garments from inside out, top to bottom! My go-to style is a skirt with a loose top. I wear either a 3/4 sleeve or else a short or sleeveless 100% cotton t-shirt/shell that falls from sholder to hip with an open shirt for casual wear or a Channel style boxy collarless jacket for non-casual outfits. Loose sleeves are good because you can hold your armes up and catch the ac when you get in a hot car until cooled down!
Hi Sarah! Soooo pretty and fashionable! I'm half Ashkenazi Jewish and half Alaskan Inuit. I call myself a "Jewskimo"... I swear that (and I've researched a lil on this) - the Inuit have an issue with too much warmth - and I firmly believe that that fact paired with my being a middle aged woman has made me... I cannot stand being too hot - I can't do it. I live in the Chicago area and try to keep fairly modest - but sometimes, during the highest heat of summer I will do an errand or two wearing a tank top dress - I don't like it, but it's more of almost a medical situation in my mind. I applaud you and everyone who can dress modestly in the highest temps. So good to see you online again! Love, Jenny
I'm Ashkenazi and Indigenous Australian, a friend of mine came up with the term "didgerijew". As you can imagine, it gets dangerously hot where I live. I cover my knees, shoulders and cleavage but it stops there when it's hot. Thankfully I am reform so I'm not restricted by unrealistic rules.
@@angelawossname wow sooo cool! Very nice to 'meet you'!!! I was raised very very very reform too - but totes understand other ppls desire to be more 'frum' in dress... I shake your hand in very mixed Jewishness!! lol! Jenny
I love staying cool! My favorite tip was to wear natural fabrics. Cotton is a good choice but linen is better. Linen comes from the flax plant and it has very long stalks and pretty flowers all the way at the top. This means the plant has to draw water allll the way up that long stem! When turned into fabric this means that it is good at drawing moisture away from your body and absorbing it. Linen is unfortunately not very common but I have found nice pieces at the thrift store and on sites like etsy and poshmark.
Thankyou for your interesting explanation of why flax is cooler! Hemp is also cooler, for much the same reasons. Cheaper hemp and linen clothing looks terrible because of all the wrinkles! But I got a tunic at A sports store on 70% off and it is amazing! Looks great right out of the dryer.😊
I love staying cool! You're so elegant and have beautiful style!
Awww thank youuuuu🥰🥰
I love staying cool. And I love your vids. I am Christian, but I really enjoy learning about other faiths. You are a blessing & a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!

Shalom Sarah! "I love staying cool!!"
I so appreciate your modest and cool clothing advice! Your head coverings are beautiful!!
I am in the conversion process to Orthodox Judaism and changing my life on every level. Clothing is so important!
Thank you so much for the links also!
Very beautiful and creative ways of making the head scarves extra pretty. Linen and cotton are absolutely the materials of choice for hot weather.
Hi Sarah! I love your fashion sense and style, especially the accoutrements to your head scarf! My mother is a devout Catholic and follows similar clothing practices - looser clothing, tasteful jewelry and low key shirts. Thank you for working so hard to bring us wonderful videos of Orthodox culture and practices-blessings to you and your family!
I am an older lady who likes to dress modestly,it is hard to find modest clothing here in the UK.Thank you.❤ I love your clothes and the store clothes! You look beautiful.❤
I love staying cool -- and i love you, dear Sara!
I've recently had to give up wearing pants, as i have a physical disability that i conceal by wearing long skirts. The summers where i live in Northern California are notorious for being hot (over 110° F is quite common), so dressing for the heat can be challenging. While i use many of the tips you suggested, i have one that might help: cotton half slips. Yes, you can buy them almost anywhere online and through catalogs, but i make mine using men's extra-long , lightweight tee shirts. They are absorbent and breathable, get softer with each washing, and don't stick to my legs like nylon.
Another trick is talcum powder. Body powder made from corn starch will become a sticky mess, leading to skin rashes. Talc will keep you dry.
Best wishes to all for cool, stylish, and blessed summer!
P.S. I have the same chambray dress from Walmart 😊
I feel so close to G-d when I watch your videos. I'm one of the only Jewish people in my area and its so amazing to see others like me. Keep up the good work!
I love staying cool! Another thing to consider for those that may worry about heat-- the direct sun on your skin feels much hotter than most breathable fabrics! Im in central Texas where we have been having over 100° days most of the summer and even a navy colored sleeve has made my skin more comfortable than the harsh sun (light colors work best though)
Absolutely true!!
Excellent point!
I can only wear natural fibers in summer. LInen, lilght cottons and silk are some of my favorites ❤
Hello Sarah, I was so happy to see you posted a new video. You’re my all time favorite TH-camr. I’ve always dressed modestly because it’s how I feel more comfortable. I’ve been criticized for this and after watching your video I saw I made the right choice. You have a great sense of style. Your calm demeanor and soft voice is very relaxing. Thank you and welcome back ❤
Btw: I love to stay cool
Oh thank you!🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love staying cool. Missed your wonderful videos. Stay blessed sweet lady. ❤
Hello Sara! So good to see you dressing cool and looking elegant. I love staying cool too! Love to you and your family. 💕
My best tip for surviving heat (and avoiding sunburn) is actually to cover my head (with a scarf, a hat, or caps - use what you've got)
Several years ago I made the commitment to be modest full time, as well as covering my hair. It’s not always been easy living in a small town. I do also prefer mostly natural fibers like linen, cotton, wool, etc but it does limit my options as well.
So true!
I tried to cover my head more, but the only thing that will stay on my head are baseball caps....hahaha.....everything else slides off.
@@theherbalsanctuary811 I think it’s a common problem🤣 I started using strong clips to keep things on, and will sometimes even use the tichel style, like Sara, and that for sure stays on for me because it’s further forward onto the forehead a bit. But yes, there are times I resort to baseball caps (cute ones if I can find them😜). I am considering even making a little lacy “snood” to cover my bun when I’m wear the baseball caps. My mom made us some when we were little girls and they were so pretty and adorable.
@@mrshippyhebrew8213 I remember snoods! gosh, hadn't thought of those. My mom use to wear a wig, but as the summers here can get into the high 90's and low 100's she stopped and every week would go get her hair teased and styled. then occasionally would wear a head scarf. so many traditions have gone by the wayside. perhaps our young can bring them back.
@mrshippyhebrew8213 the grip band or velvet band changed my head covering days! The one from wrapenzul are great!
Favourites black skirt, Channel belt and the white polka dot blouse.❤❤❤❤❤
You have such a fun fashion sense! I love all the little extra bits you add to your headscarves, and the color & pattern combinations you make in your outfits. All the different variations of shells seem very useful.
The frost long dress, and the dressy blue outfit at the end we're my favorites. I also live in denim. Being a Conservative Christian I always with dress modestly. While I do wear slacks, I regularly do the Layered thing, and wear sleeves below the elbow, and a high neckline. Frequently I wear sleeveless turtleneck under my long-sleeve, because I don't want my neckline exposed. I totally appreciate what you are sharing!
Dr. Malka - love your channel! Every outfit you showcased were beautiful and winners 🥇 The light colored blouses and skirts with flow and movement were exquisite 👍 . By accessorizing with jewelry and using appliqués placed the cherry on the cake! Well done!
I love staying cool. My favorite outfits are all that included chambray.
I love staying cool! Your outfits are similar to what I would wear year round, I live close to the equator and modest dressing is norm. Layering, natural fabrics, loose clothing, light fabrics are really help to beat the heat. I will try to get the Chambray too. Head covering is also good for the hair. Good to have you back Sara after a long break ❤
You have a true knack for putting outfits together…you’re a natural!! ❤
I absolutely LOVE your pink shirt dress, it is SO beautiful! ( edited: I read the links!)
I am so inspired by your ornaments on your tichel. I’m not orthodox but I like to protect my hair in the summer.
Again, you bring such joy and beauty to my TH-cam subscriptions.
Thank you 💛
When I attend mass, I wear modest clothes and cover my hair with a veil. It's very difficult finding clothes that are appropriate. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing these tips and tricks and these lovely modest outfit inspirations. I live in the south where it is quite warm, and the hot sticky summer months seem to drag by. Dressing modestly during this season can be tricky, and it is practically impossible to find modest clothing at local stores, except at thrift stores. I try to find fabrics that are light weight, but thick enough I don't have to layer in the summer, flowy bottoms, and light colors. I would love to find more online options that offer modest clothing at decent prices; if anyone has any suggestions, thanks in advance.
They are so beautiful and I am a Christian and I want to stay modest. ❤😊 Love your channel your voice calms me. 🙏🕊
I love all your outfits and I would wear many of them. I am not Jewish but I do dress modestly for the most part. I love loose, flowy dresses. The first dress is one I would definitely wear. I loved it.
i love loose things too and the 1st dress is a must for me too as you can dress it up or down!
have a greta day and thank yo for being here!
I am not religious at all but I don’t like exposing my skin for a variety of reasons. These are great tips! I am grateful for the increased visibility of modest dressing - having options for sun protection, just not wanting to show that much leg or neckline lol, swimwear that isn’t a bikini, is awesome. We should all have autonomy over how much of ourselves we show the outside world ❤️
❤🎉 Yay! I'm so glad to see you are back, sweet Sara! ❤🎉
thank you to be here sweet KAren: I missed you terribly!
Hello Sara, I am not Jewish but as someone who loves accessories I love to see how you accessorized your head covering with headbands, appliqués, and various ribbon tying techniques.
At the risk of sounding odd, I mean this into the most complimentary way, you have a beautiful sounding voice and wonderful cadence. So feminine and melodic. ❤
Thank you for another interesting and informative video. I love the clothing you've chosen but it's way too young for me. However I do believe becoming and modest clothing is something every woman should wear. I would really appreciate seeing what is considered in good taste for ladies in the late grandma ages.
I LOVE STAYING COOL
I was so excited to see you today! We also believe in modesty, although not as covered as your standards. Thank you for sharing your faith and gentle ways with us. PS-have you been losing weight? You look great!
I love staying cool. The best for me was the flowing, light colored materials.
I love it so much too!!
You're so intelligent, with a great fashion sense! I love staying cool! 🎉 🌞🌡
Oh thank you!
Sarah…you always say at the end of every video: so you know you are not alone, I know you are talking of opinions and thoughts, but I want you to know that I keep you in my thoughts and prayers…so, truly, you are not alone 😊
Awww sweet Patricia, thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️it means so much to me
