This skirt is similar to the ones I invested in this past spring.

Is that good enough?

And can I wear leggings underneath so I don't freeze to death when I am scraping snow from my windshield in a blizzard?

I know some people think this is a silly thing to worry so much about, but I am really struggling to figure it out. :sad:

I have not made many observations at church yet, but these dresses are close to what I have noticed. Not good enough, right?

Please don't get mad at me if those images are offensive.

They all seem fine. Try not to be scrupulous.

Hmm I don't know why I got a downvote for saying one should wear shorts when exercising. When I run and lift weights, along with boxing, I wear jogging shorts.

Trad Guy, shorts are intrinsically immodest.
They are not an option for traditional Catholics.

So when you jog you would wear trousers in summer?

That seems very impractical to me, nevermind the fact you would lose your physical stimulus by overheating.

Well the dress should obviously have long hemlines but that's really the only specific I can think of, as in pre-1920's hemlines, before the hemlines started to get shorter.

I was in a musical called "Good News" that was based in the 1920's. The hemlines were ridiculous. I've always wondered if the costumes were historically accurate.

The dress also shouldn't be fashionable or snobby but be simple and useable for housework and outdoor work.

Awww yes, nothing too fancy when I am out in the barn tending to the cows in -50 windchill...lol.

I'd also like to add for 'home exercises' there are sites which sell exercise dresses.

I have an "exercise skirt" from a modest clothing company.
