"Why Won't Stores Carry Modest Dresses?"

...is one of the most frequently ask questions I hear. The reason is very simple; because so many girls buy an immodest dress and cover it with a jacket, substitute sheer straps for shoulders, or patch it!

Why should they invest thousands of dollars in a modest line of dresses, purchasing the required minimums twice a year for you to try on when they know most girls are willing to accept what they offer? They don't care how it looks when you wear it or the image you portray. They sure aren't worried about your purity or testimony of holiness. They are concerned about turning a profit and their stores reputation of offering the latest styles. Modesty is not what they want to be known for!

The solution is very simple; stop purchasing immodest dresses! If every saved, born again young lady would refuse to purchase from stores that refuse to carry modest dresses, they would create a demand, resulting in a market for modest gowns.

Why not purchase from those that share your conviction of modesty; then their businesses would flourish. They would be able to carry more lines of dresses for you to choose from and then more stores could be opened; eliminating the need to have to purchase gowns online.

It only takes one person to desire a change; to vote NO to stores that don't care about Godliness and Holiness. What store are you voting for this year?

Is This Modest?

I'd like to suggest a website that promotes modest clothing with thought provoking articles and links.

Where is the line that separates modest from immodest? — We’re wondering that too.

Voices of Praise

I was blessed to meet Voices of Praise at our mid-week service. They did a fabulous job ministering in song!! Amazingly, most of them had actually visited our website. It was so exciting to see some of the faces of the hundreds of daily visitors on our website.

I know when you shop online it feels a little cold and it doesn't seem like anyone's wondering if "you're finding everything ok?" or "if you have any questions?" But there really is someone here. I check daily, sometimes twice to see how many have stopped by that day and wonder if they saw something they liked or if they left with unanswered questions.

Yes, internet shopping is a little lonely for both of us, I wish I could see all the smiling faces of each "number" shown on the statistic page. Take a minute to use the Contact Us page don't be a secret shopper;)
