My problem with fasion these days is that the t-shirts I love always have such short sleeves that aren’t at all modest. It’s almost impossible to find t-shirts with sleeves these days– these little cap sleeves and sleeve-less shirts are what you find in most stores. I’ve finally figured out what to do by using sleeve extenders called “sleevies”…. you can buy them on sites like Amazon by searching for “sleevies” or “sleeve extender” and they’re great.

One has to be comfortable first, in anything he or she wears. If it is getting too much attention that is enough to be uneasy. Good you could explain this to her in a simple way.

It sounds like you really capitalized on a wonderful teaching moment. Anytime you can teach the principles behind modest dress you are doing your child a favor. Good job!

Every time I go swimming at the university’s pool in the morning, I see men in swimming suits that hug their skin.

I believe in modesty and practicality.

The North American culture accepts women's swimwear next to their skin. Why does the North American culture not accept men's swimwear next to their skin? What is the aversion to the male form? Why the double standard? Why the sexism? Why the unfairness?

I encourage men and women to compare wearing form fitting swimwear swimming and getting in and out of the water to "trunk" style swimwear.

I do not believe a form fitting swimsuit is necessarily inmodest, indecent or "gross", "ewee".

Adrienne, good point on being modest inside. I think we often overlook that. It’s easy to be modest outwardly.

What we wear reflects what we are inside, or it should.

Covering up in a decent way goes hand in hand with what kind of modesty we internally possess. I cannot see separating the two; they are married.

If you are modest inside, then dress modestly outside.

If you are modest outside; you must run true and be modest in spirit and daily living.

We must do our best not to justify one or the other separately. IMHO. God Bless! - Adrienne
