Ultimate Guide: Modest Swimwear 2013
The sun has come out, and it's time your best swimsuit did too! Confession: I have a love/hate relationship with my swimsuit. I love it because it means that it’s finally warm! It means fun times with friends and family at the pool. But I hate it because it also means that I’ve got to somehow...
Modesty: It's for Boys, Too
LDS girls are constantly reminded to be careful of their hemlines and sleeve lengths. But are we doing enough to teach our boys about modesty? Recently, my 13-year-old son began lifting weights after school. As a result, he has developed large, well-defined biceps. Anxious to show off his new...
Femininity abroad: How clothing standards clash
MR says: FASCINATING article on differing standards of modesty across countries, and what happens when differing modesty isn't observed. Knee-length skirts. No revealing attire.

Young men and women...
Modesty reflects discipleship, leaders say
MR says: I love what Sister Burton says about teaching "the why."

The way Latter-day Saint...

Vogue & Virtue: Modest Fashion at the Oscars
Sometimes it can feel like modest and frumpy are synonymous, but that's definitely not the case, and these celebrities show us how on the red carpet. Now before we start nit-picking, let me clarify: not all these dresses are 100% modest by LDS standards. But most of them are pretty dang close, and...

Modest does not equal frumpy, say organizers of Christian Fashion Week
MR says: This sounds like a great event. Love the challenge one organizer has presented: "How do we push the boundaries with boundaries?" The organizers of Christian Fashion Week have a message: Modest does not equal frumpy. "A lot of the designers we talked with looked at the challenge as a creative...
Vogue & Virtue: Modest Fashion at the Golden Globes
Sometimes it can feel like being both modest and fashionable is an impossible task, but you can find ideas in surprising places – like the Golden Globes. The celebrities we see in magazines and on the big screen are probably the last people we should emulate, but if you watch closely, sometimes...
Honor Code and the visual arts: How BYU students balance standards with censorship
In a world where modest is not considered the hottest, many wouldn’t expect the visual arts students at BYU to be some of the best in the country. BYU’s Department of Visual Arts is third in the nation and has found a way to work within the Honor Code while still remaining competitive with...

An Open Response re: Modesty Lessons for Children
MR says: I don't necessarily agree with her on everything, but it does present an interesting challenge (I've seen my fair share of sleeveless dresses in Primary). What do you think? How do we teach modesty to very young children? (What do you mean I’m harping on this one? Harps are pretty!) So, I was...
