Advice for Modest Dress

I just want to speak to my experience. Even when I have been covered head to toe. Turtleneck, modest length skirt, stockings, modest work heels. Men will stare. I was born with a curvy vavavoom shape. I am fit and enjoy exercising! Weird I know. Unfortunately this often leads to comments that I am immmodest and it is simply untrue I try! I would need to wear the aforementioned burlap sack. I am married now though my husband came later than expected. He didn't arrive until I was 36. This came up in convo with him. He said most men just couldn't see past it, see the real me. The graduate student profound lover of Christ. Just a word for the ladies doing their best and still being objectified. Sometimes it really is the heart of the other and not in your control. If you live as a good Christian woman that will shine though! Blessings ladies thanks for the video and work you do for the Catholic community.

"There is a lack of awareness of how to dress up versus dressing sexy because our society and culture have merged the two." Hit. The. Nail. On. The. Head. Mic. Drop. Right there ladies! This is why my dressing up dresses are from the 40's, 50's and 60's.

"Our Faith calls us to a higher standard." What a wonderful quote! Something else to note too with dress is that even though we were made wholly good, we still have concupiscence and are susceptible to sin. In charity to others, men and women, need to dress respectfully. We must dress according to the dignity God gave us and for the love of others and God!

Our Lady is our best example of dressing modestly.

Can we talk about the struggle of finding cute clothes that are also modest?? It's like there's a conspiracy to make clothes as immodest as possible these days and shopping is such a hassle! I honestly think that shops push these "barely there" clothes so they can charge a lot of money and use ever decreasing amounts of fabric to make them!

My face lit up when I saw the name of the guest, Chika Anyanwu because I am a Nigerian. Wonderful content.

Thank u ladies! Sometimes, I'm called a prude for the way i dress. But, i feel gr8. No cleavage, no trunk showing n proud of it!

These modezty videos are what i need right now!! It is something I am discerning with difficulty.

Honestly, this is why I love shopping at thrift stores, there's much more variety and originality with clothes, and since most are "older" clothes there are real modest and fashionable items! Plus it's a more environmentally conscious way of shopping.

For a lot of reasons, these modesty conversations can be SO SO cringe, but these women spoke truth.

Beautiful way to put all that, I hope that everyone who watches it is able to hear it with a clear mind and understand the loving position youre coming from.

Amazing hearing you two. Our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit.

As a muslim I was astonished to hear this beautiful dialogue and exchange of ideas as a muslim too we have the rule of wearing modestly which states that: clothes shouldn't describe the body nor be transparent The notion of freedom in the West (and sadly started here in Islamic countries) has to be reformed as it only focuses on the personnal freedom, disregarding freedom of people that surround us too, we do not live alone and we are social beings that need to abide by certain rules. It's not a wild freedom but it has to respect others' existence as well

Does the other lady have a channel too? What is her name? I really like the way she speaks. So down to earth and kind

Modesty, also strengthens our ability to confront evil

Amen Ladies🕆 I'm getting Baptized in the Catholic Church this Easter. I'm so excited and was looking online for a beautiful modest dress. The only dresses I have seen are club dresses,just as you were saying. This is a new phenomenon and a sign of the degenerate times we live in.

In my teenage years I had a pair of shorty-shorts. I wore them to my grandma's house and she gave me a rash of lecture about them. Most of it didn't bother me but when she said old men look at me I was like ew. That's not why I wore those shorts.. and it really made me think about it and I never wanted to wear them again and that thought stuck with me even now. As a teenage girl I wanted guys attention but to realize I'm getting old men's attention made me sick to my stomach. I'm so glad out of love for me she said something. And at first I didn't want to take and accept it but afterwards I really thought about it and it changed my mind.

God bless you two! This is a difficult but much needed conversation for our culture. Amen to it being an issue of the heart! As a teen, my heart wasn't in the right place and so modesty wasn't even on my radar. Modesty grows naturally from a heart oriented toward Christ! (And yes to covering up the "took-us.")

Thank you Chika for having the courage to speak to a parishioner with charity and love about appropriate dress at Mass and why. It is so difficult to approach someone for their dress because you don;t want them to feel unwelcome, but you can see what a distraction it is to other Mass attendees. I remember, back in the day, a man could not get seated in a better restaurant without a jacket. Restaurants would keep loaner jackets available should a gentleman show up without one. I think perhaps we should keep a supply of wraps or pashminas in our Churches in order to assist women in covering up for Mass. Pehaps you cound do a third video to explore how we can lovingly and gently discuss modest dress at Mass with other women.

LOVED this! Can we please have a convo about Modesty for men? How the virtue of modesty should grow and manifest itself in a man. I feel like it isn’t discussed enough
