  • This picture was taken over 100 years ago.  Although well covered these young ladies all wear dresses with
    bodices that are skin tight from neck to waist.  Although bras were not yet invented, they are definitely
    wearing push up corsets, which was the fashion then.

    Would the ushers of present day ask them to cover up?

  • The picture showed up while in preview and also 5 minutes after posting, then it disappeared.
    This happened last week also.  Anyone know why?

    Are you defending the present day fashions?  Are you arguing that women had perfect modesty 100 years ago (which they didn't)?  What's your point?

  • This is what some of the young ladies at my sspx wear (haven't been for a couple of years, so things may have changed), along with a tight white blouse and dark underwear.

    I just don't understand the parents of such girls.
    It is worse than you think, because it is the mother that bought them those clothes and the Father who paid for them.

    The foundation of it all is that mothers erroneously learn from other women that their beauty and value comes from the attraction they can bring to themselves from men and they teach the same to their daughters. The fathers are indifferent to the whole thing, likely thinking about business, or golf, an NFL football game, or today, even the next video game he's going to buy.

  • You are a good example to the your chapel and the world. An example affects many more people than you can even imagine.

    When we would go to restaurants, there is practically not one time that some one does not come up to us to commend us on the behavior of our children. My wife is a very good cook, so the children are accustomed to eating adult foods from all over the world and food for them is a big festival. All the children at the table eating and conversing and trying each others dish, it is a big festival.  You can see many couples and adults looking at the party and marveling. The clothes my girls wear is part of the attraction, it separates them from the world, it is what first attracts everyone. On two occasions, when I asked for the bill, the waiter told me it was paid already by someone who wished to remain anonymous. This is how one family can change the world, by actually looking like someone who is serious about living a happy holy life.
    Your daughters sound lovely and charming, and your wife appears to be doing a great job. Great story. Thanks for sharing!

  • We've seen mostly pictures of what not to wear, which is ok, but does anyone have some pictures handy of what to wear? I think it would be helpful to many. I might post some later if I have a little while to spare.

    I wonder if the mothers DO buy the clothes, or if they send the daughter's out to buy their own clothing.  Also, I wonder of the girls have a job and tell her parents "it's my money, I can spend it on what I want".  I do believe men, as a general rule, do not respect women properly because they have not been taught properly.
    Which is why there should be NO TV in the house, no cell phones by children until college, no social media, no surfing the web, computers in central locations of the house, parents who choose the friends of the children, etc.  
    I will admit my own daughter waits until the last minute to get in the car for mass and I often have to send her back upstairs due to her wearing something she's outgrown, not that it was purchased that way.

    Here are some I found modest, again, with no white or see through blouses and nothing tight.

    I am absolutely NOT defending the present day fashions.
    Matthew promised to embed the picture in my previous post for me tonite so
    I believe my point will become clearer.

  • I wonder if the mothers DO buy the clothes, or if they send the daughter's out to buy their own clothing.  
    This is how it was for me in highschool. My parents gave me money for clothes and I went shopping by myself or with friends. My parents didn't know the contents of my closet unless they saw me wearing it. I was not raised in a Catholic household, but I bet a lot of Catholics make the same mistake with their daughters.

    Our daughters are very young, but my husband and I have had many discussions about modesty and fashion for teenagers. Oh how did my husband put it.... I think he said something like this, "I'm not going to be that dad that tells their daughter to change into something more modest because immodest clothing shall never enter this household!"  :laugh1:

    If the daughters do not have a car, or are not driving age, it is a certain that the mothers bought them the clothes. Besides, if they are wearing those clothes it is almost always because they always wore them, and the mother was dressing when younger for sure.

    I once asked a mother of a driving age young girl and they told me that they went with their daughters to buy clothes like in your picture (and worse also platform stilettos). The mother told me that she would wear them too if she was her daughters age.

  • This is how my little girls dress. A bunch of little girls dressed like that attracts more people to inquire about your religion than talking oneself to death. Add to that, that the children are happy playing and eating and socializing, and you have become an instrument of God for the conversion of others.

  • The link below has hundreds of dresses for sale- most all of them pictured are immodest (you've been cautioned), HOWEVER, you can customize the length of the skirt, the length of the sleeves and the style of the neckline, which suddenly gives you many modest options. They do have some attractive prints. I have bought a couple dresses from there. The customization fee is $10. They even give you the option to put in your measurements so the dress fits perfectly.

    SO expensive!
    We stick to used stores.  No one buys the modest ones, so they're always on clearance.   :)
