‘Modesty Movement’ Gains Momentum

Despite the devastating influence of today's culture,some are trying to teach girls they don’t have to dress immodestly in order to be true women.The word modesty strikes fear in the heart of every girl who likes to wear the latest fashions,but doesn’t want to compromise her beliefs in the process.And while some in the modesty movement are more about frump than style, others believe you can wear cute clothes and still maintain your dignity.“It’s fine to follow some of the fashions just as long as we realize that you don’t want anything too tight,nothing too clingy,nothing too sheer and just make sure that ‘from the shoulder to the knees,nobody touches, nobody sees,’”author Colleen Hammond told Family News in Focus.She said girls need to understand that their choices can influence others.“We’ve learned from history that as the morality of women declines,the culture follows with it,”Hammond said.Pure Fashion attempts to help girls with modest choices and has hosted 13 modest fashion shows around the country this year.“We’re not necessarily afraid of the body. God created the body, and it is good and it is holy, and it is sacred,”said Brenda Sharman, national director of Pure Fashion.“It’s just that we want to have a reverence and a respect for the human body.”
