Mod(est)ifying Clothing: Making Modern Clothing Modest

One complaint I hear often from people interested in modesty is that not many items of clothing are made for modest but stylish wear. Often, this fact is used as an excuse "I can't find anything modest" or "I can't spend the time to look, so I just won't bother". Well, since I dropped the old-fashioned Mennonite look in favor of more modern and stylish clothing, I have run into the same problem, and decided that I won't let it be an excuse. I will not let up-to-there slits and super low necklines conquer me!

Low- and wide-necked tops are a problem for any modest-minded woman who ever bends over. All of a sudden what formerly hid your assets gaps wide open for all to see what kind of bra you're wearing and whether it fits properly, or not. T-shirt material also has an unfortunate tendency to show every bump and seam right through it, which can be especially troublesome in cold weather-you ladies know exactly what I'm talking about! So, add a few well-fitting, high-necked tank tops to your wardrobe, and you will never have to worry about it again. I know that a double layer sounds unmanageable for hot weather, but if your undershirt is lightweight, and your top shirt is loose enough (as it should be, if you're attempting modesty), you'll find it easy to get used to. Nursing mothers can use a nursing tank top as the under layer, providing an instant nursing garment without having to purchase high-priced specialty nursing tops. You can wear your favorite tops from pre-baby times without having to worry about exposed belly when you lift the shirt to nurse your baby.
