lynx_wings answered Sunday June 27 2004, 12:44 am: It depends on where you're going and what you're comfortable with. If you're going out to the movies with friends, think about whether you'd feel comfortable hanging out with them in a public place in your clothes.
If you're going out to dinner with your grandparents, different standards apply.
Also, some people consider low necklines very revealing, while others do not. I wear spaghetti straps all through summer, and some people accuse me of trying to be revealing, even though it's just to be comfortable. People have different standards of what is revealing. In hot whether, particularly, it's impossible to please them all.
If it's in the dead of winter, dress a little more modestly, even if you don't feel the cold as much as everyone else. Otherwise people think you're trying to be really revealing, even if the clothing's just what you're comfortable in. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]

It depends on the time of year too, in the summer, you can dress however you want but be careful in the winter and fall. I hope i helped. LYLAS

advice~gurl answered Saturday June 26 2004, 2:44 am: well to be honest my church is kind of stirct on what we are told to wear. were told to wear clothes that cover our stomac and don't dip too low on the bust. were told to wear clothes that go from the knee and lower. Nothing Higher than the knees. we can't wear sleeveless tops either. sence I joined the church I was REAl strict and hardly wore any thing that went against what they said. But lately I have had a change of views. Right now im wearing a mini skirt and a tank top. I love mini skirts and I feel so comfortable. (I cna't immagin wearing capris and a polo shirt in a 100 degree weather) I normaly never wear a tank top uless its under a another top. I think that it really doesin't matter what you wear but how you dress wearing it. today I wore a pink mini with a green top, and flip flops. I wore sparkly jewlery and I had So many comlamants on it. even older people and my peers were looking at my outfit. I wasn't being ubseen, I wasn't showing and stomac the mini skirt was just pretty it wasn't like showing mu under wear it just looked good.
The way I determine what is modest for me personaly is
1 im comforable in it
2 its not so tight that I can't breathe
3 doesn't show my stomac
and last be not least
4 if i bend over I don't have to worry about anyone seeing inside my teeshirt and no one seeing my underwear.
FrEe2bMe answered Saturday June 26 2004, 1:25 am: Well, this specific question tends to vary from person to person. But, in my personal opinion I would say that it's okay to show a lil' skin every now and then or wear sexy clothing every now and then. With that said, you don't want to do this too often, because people may get the wrong impression of you. Here's a good rule of thumb to go by: If you can go out and wear what you are wearing knowing that your mom/and/or dad wouldn't have a problem with it, then you're dressed just fine. Like with skirts, sure sometimes our moms think they are a lil' too short...but if your ass cheeks are hanging out then obviously your momma is right!! Also, another thing to consider..think about if another girl your height and weight was wearing that exact same outfit..would you think...wow she's dressed too inappropriately or would you think..oh that's cute! Also, you need to consider the type of atmosphere you are going to be in. Say you have to give a huge presentation for the school board.....would you wear a really short skirt and a halter top??? I think not! But most importantly, make sure YOU are comfortable and confident in how you look and what you are wearing..you are your own worst critic so you be the judge!! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
MrToAsTy answered Saturday June 26 2004, 1:17 am: ppl r supposed to dress howeva they want its one way ppl express themselves and it can show a lot bout that person... different ppl have dif. ideas bout wat modest is
LykViolencUhavMe answered Saturday June 26 2004, 1:16 am: this is kind of like beauty is in the eye of the beholder or to each his own because it all depends on the person and the place and such. like if ur in church modesty is something that doesnt offend or show clevage or w/e but like in the mall or something no one really cares. so it all depends [ LykViolencUhavMe's advice column | Ask LykViolencUhavMe A Question ]
MissJ1414 answered Saturday June 26 2004, 12:36 am: The big thing to remember is that what you show by how you dress is what guys think of you and about you. The style right now might be "skimpy is best," but you have another code to live by if youare a Christian. Don't tempt guyswhere they don't need to be tempted. Wou can still dress totally cute, just cut down on the skin exposure and super-tight clothes. [ MissJ1414's advice column | Ask MissJ1414 A Question ]
