A New Concept of Modesty

"In previous articles I've spoken about modesty, explaining to the reader that modesty is a misunderstood beautiful virtue that should be loved and cherished. But as I learn more and more about it, and experience different situations, I've realized something else very important.

Helping Them Cope - As you know these modesty articles are directed towards girls. But what girls don't realize is that guys think differently when it comes to purity. For girls it can actually be quite easy fighting temptations of purity, and we forget it can be much harder for men to fight these things, especially when we throw modesty out the window. So why not help them out a little bit by dressing properly? Surely we'll get merit for our charity. For example, if we knew our friend who had something like depression, and was triggered easily, we would be very careful to make sure they were as comfortable as possible. Therefore if we care about their well-being, let us dress accordingly

Making Others Inspired - Modesty isn't just about ourselves, but rather everyone around us. It isn't meant to drag us down or prevent us from following the latest trends. Rather it's there to put us in our right position and make our bodies truly beautiful - the way God intended. In doing this we make other around us realize that the concept of modesty, which is so ridiculed in our day and age, is actually an amazing thing and lifts our spirits far higher than immodest trends ever could. They will begin to see that girls can be beautiful and follow the good trends while sticking to their morals. Let us always inspire everyone around us. It will then be at the Last Judgment when God calls upon us in front of the whole world that we will be called the inspirer.

Don't Think, Just Do - A lot of times people will dwell forever on modesty, picking it apart and turning into a torturous task. Skirts ten inches below the knee exactly! Turtle necks only! Really, if we overthink all of this, it will reflect to those around us and they'll lose the inspiration they so desperately need. Instead of being so cold with modesty, set your regular Catholic boundaries, don't overthink it, then pray for the grace to see the beauty of modesty. Modesty isn't just in the fabric, it's so much more. It's in our actions, our words, our thoughts, and so on. Let us pray for the true spirit of modesty!

Therefore dear reader, cloth yourself with the mantle of Our Lady, bathe your soul with the blood of the Lamb, and rejoice in the beautiful virtues which God has given us! "

I have a hard time finding catholic clothing for my girls, any suggestions?

Finding good modest clothing can be tough, but once one knows where to look it gets a little easier.  I this point I make my own clothes. I had many failed attempts in learning to sew, as I primarily learned by trial and error, but now I am so grateful to be able to not have to depend only on what I find in the stores!  Granted, not everyone can make their own clothes, or find the time to shop through all the thrift stores to see what they can find.

I know a number of traditional Catholic women who go to thrift stores to find skirts and dresses.  This requires a bit of diligence, but is where I go when I don't have time to sew.

Others shop online.  Here is a list of some places:

For girls it can actually be quite easy fighting temptations of purity, and we forget it can be much harder for men to fight these things, especially when we throw modesty out the window.

This is wonderful platitude, and was probably true in the past, but I wonder if it is still as true in the society we live in.

Young girls are not so much fighting temptations to purity, they are doing their utmost to establish temptations to purity. In doing this they seem to have turned into their male opposites and have become hungry for pleasure and recognition, and dominance.

In such a society it seems many of the men have given up on trying to function as God intended and have gone to hide in the bushes.
