    • I’ve seen adds from BloomChic and have been surprised at how decent some of their dresses are. I would definitely wear some of them. You’ve got to wade through some immodest ones though. I’ve seen some dresses from Shein that are modest as well. 

    I think both of those places use China to produce their products as cheap as they are. I don’t care for that. 

    Is she interested in sewing? That can really widen her possibilities.

    My husband loves to buy me beautiful things that I wouldn’t buy myself. He’s bought me dresses before because he knows I love them but is scared he’ll get something wrong so he will ask his mom for advice. I’ve loved all the clothes he’s ever gifted me. He puts so much thought into them based on what he thinks I will like. They were things I would have never splurged on for myself.

    Also, why are you assuming that because he’s getting his wife some dresses for Christmas that she’s not allowed to buy her own clothes normally?  I think it’s great he’s buying her dresses for Christmas!
    Good post.

    I am just baffled to the response of this thread. My feeling is that some people have just lost their direction and have no idea how to be charitable.  The saying "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all." comes to mind.

    She can pick out dresses for herself but she still needs approval from me so that she doesn’t have free rein with the finances. It’s a pretty common system. If you let your wife have unbridled access to your credit card without consulting you about purchases — that’s unprecedented lol
    It is sad you don't trust your wife.

    Nothing at all. The reason I said that was because the contrarian in this thread was being pompous as if purchasing dresses for a women is beneath the dignity of Christmas gifts.

    By the way, I did not ask for anyone‘s psychoanalysis. I asked my wife what she wants for Christmas, she said “idk maybe dresses”, so I wanted people to recommend nice modest dresses here. What I don’t need is for people to sperg out autistically and over analyze a simple request. How does “Looking for Catholic Dress Shop for Wife” turn into “let’s get into a political discussion about how you are a misogynist if you buy things for your wife”.
    A husband purchasing dresses for his wife has nothing to do with the dignity of Christmas gifts, nor did I ever say such.

    A husband not allowing his wife to purchase her own clothing is the problem.  Lack of trust will be the downfall of a marriage.

    • Don't bother with pervy Simon, Crayolcold. He doesn't want you to buy your wife a nice dress because he doesn't want women dressing modestly

    The husband is the head of the house, God's authority over the family, he ks doing his duty. Men like to treat their loved ones well and to 'show off ' to their wives. An deflated ball does not bounce, and a deflated husband is not good for the family, wives are supposed to be inspiring to their husbands, adoring, admiring, looking up to them..

    Agreed, except the adoring part.

    So, there's a difference between the theological sense of the word "adore" and the colloquial sense, and he certainly meant the latter and was not suggesting that you literally worship your husband as if he were God.

    ditto my last comment... he clearly did not mean the term in its theological sense and for the wife to literally worship his husband.  In the colloquial sense, it means something along the lines of thinking the world of him.
