Recommended Read on Modesty
May I highly recommend all the women and young women who read this blog (and that is the majority of the readers, I hope!) visit the GirlTalk blog and read their excellent 6-part series on Fashion and Following the Savior?
This is a subject which can be so controversial in our day and age, and yet, it is so necessary. Pastors can preach all the sermons in the world to the men of their congregation on guarding their eyes and heart and not lusting, but we women need to do our part to protect our brothers in Christ.
And, please don't miss their Modesty Heart Check. It is a great starting point for you to examine your wardrobe with -- especially if the concept of modesty is new to you.

Thank you for this. I will read it later today.
Hi, Crystal!
I have been reading the Girl Talk and blog and printed out both their Modesty Heart Check and the 6-part series. I hope to share this with a Sunday School class of teenage girls I'm going to be teaching on Proverbs 31 and Titus 2. It's a great resource! Thanks for posting about it!
Hi Crystal~
I've been reading these posts and I have to say they are great. The women at GirlTalk have some very good words to say.
Blessings,

I think those things are great and good writing, but what I have found is the people who want to wear the strapless and or spaghetti straps would not be open to even listening to the articles. My sister is getting married in June and I opted out of the wedding because if I wanted to dress differently it would be looked at wanting the wedding "my way". So, instead I decided not to be a bridesmaid even at the risk of hurting my sister.
I said something about some of the girls not wanting to expose the chest area and she said well that some of the girls didn't care and that the other ones should not be so opinionated.
How do you deal with something like that?
