This is the most stylish "modest" clothing line I have ever seen. I would wear everything I saw on the site. Very feminine and not dowdy. However, I guarantee there are people on this forum who will be critical of some of the pieces. I noticed none of the skirts have a walking vent (slit).  Is there something wrong with a knee length slit?

Well, lookee there, we agree.  That is some pretty clothing....

Hold the phone! The black long dress looks eerily like a burqa.  Right?  On another note, I'm pretty sure that most of the clothing in this line looks like it is meant to fit small size ladies. Which is fine...I think us ladies SHOULD watch our weight...however some ladies are just naturally bigger than others. That black burqa thing would NOT look good on anyone over a size 6, IMO. BUT, still...nice to see some pretty modest clothing out there. You know...for those days when I don't want to wear pants. Haha!

Btw...JS made fun of heavy women from the pulpit ALL. THE. TIME. I'm not overweight, but I felt sooooo bad for those who were. It was so unkind and unnecessary. Not everyone has colitis and the inability to gain weight. Just rude. On more than one occasion I would look at my husband and say, in a normal voice, "That's NOT funny!"  I was such a rebel. Lol!

You know who I think looks modest all the time? Kate Middleton. She looks like a feminine lady all. the. time.
Her wardrobe is not HAC, but she is always feminine and appropriate.
FWIW

This reminds me of when we were in Indiana.  A woman visitor came into the church for the evening service who was not wearing a bra and has a thin top on.  One of the member ladies saw her, and she along with another lady member, got a sweater for the visitor to wear.  They were not disrespectful or unkind.  The visitor never came back but in all my years of being in church, that is the only time I've seen that done.  Respect, kindness and love for the lost.

Compare that to the last church I was on staff at.  The pastor would preach on modesty on a regular basis but the church secretary was famous for wearing low-cut tops that clearly showed her old, wrinkly cleavage.  She cared less what the pastor preached and the pastor was not man enough to make her stop.  It was disgusting.

Very classy lady. Forget HACers or Xers, the Kardashians could take a cue or twenty from her.

I believe that was absolutely the appropriate way to deal with the situation.  I have a feeling that some on the FFF would highly disagree.

Not me. And I would think it best for a lady to make the contact and to be as discreet as possible.

I do have a sad tale to tell on a similar vein. A couple in our church are big Harley fans. He had a pony tail up until about two years ago. When they were out on one of their road trips, they stopped by a little country IFB church on a Sunday morning to worship. As they were hanging up their coats (leathers) a man stopped and pointed to a door at the end of the hall. He told them that they probably wouldn't feel comfortable there and that door (back exit) was the fastest way back to the parking lot.  :-\

I believe the book of James might have something to say about this one.

This made my eyes teary. It breaks my heart.

It reminds me of once while I was out soul winning and knocked on the door of two men who were life partners. I would not have even suspected they were  gay as one looked like a stereotypical "redneck" (yes, camo, sleeves cut off, etc.), but they were immediately on the defensive and tried to start an argument.  kindly told them I was not there to condemn them. They were surprised at my kindness and listened for about 20 minutes as I shared with them the way to heaven. Neither got saved that day, but when I held out my hand to shake theirs before leaving, they told me I was the "kindest, unjudgmental Christian" they had ever met.

There is never a reason to be unkind to an unbeliever or to another believer .

We too often forget that lost people are going to act like lost people.

It is so easy to be kind.
