I should not have touched this thread with a 10 foot pole. I'm sorry.

Scruples over clothing creates an occasion of sin for vanity for me, so I will bring it to prayer.

I don't want to compromise, but I also have to not look so different that my employers worry I've joined a cult or my mother has me institionalized.

I'm teaching myself to sew, but making your own clothing can be very expensive compared to thrift stores or even good sales at department stores. Fabric is expensive.

My only remaining question is about the leggings. This is for my daughter too, because long baby dresses are usually not much past the knee.

Trad Guy, I cannot think of a single Saint who deliberately cultivated physical beauty.

The Catholic Faith requires modesty, not beauty.

What about stockings for your baby, PW?

They should not be see-through or flesh-coloured.

The Vatican once condemned flesh-coloured stockings, if I recall accurately what I have read.

PW, I will find out where ladies can obtain modest clothes, and I will post about it on CathInfo.

Pope Pius XI condemned the sin of women wearing pants.

I think that Pope Pius XI's condemnation of women wearing pants was in A.D. 1929, or shortly after.
