Threaded Mode | Linear Mode

I went to the Modest Apparel Site and I think it is beautiful! I am a dresses-only woman. I used to think nothing about wearing my favorite jeans and other immodest clothes, but the Lord convicted me regarding the issue of "wearing that which pertains to women" and modesty a few years ago, and I boxed up all my pants and put them all away. I have been wearing dresses ever since, and eventually after a couple of year I threw the box of pants in the dumpster.

I have a bit of a problem. I am searching for a clothing site that has dresses with front openings. most of the ones I see are either pull over jumper styles, or they have back zippers. I need a zipper or button up front because of a shoulder injury that restricts my mobility to such a degree that I cannot get in and out of the pull over styles and forget about the back zipper at all (who ever invented those things never lived alone!). Shocked

I would love to find someone who lives in my neck of the woods who could sew some really simple dresses for me - 3/4 sleeve, loose fitting, front closures - i would supply all the materials. I used to sew a lot, but over the years my patience for such activity has dried up and my eyes are not what they used to be. I like shirt dress styles in plain cotton weave fabrics. Smile

Anytime I mention anything about being dresses only on other message boards I usually provoke several "pages" of harsh critism from liberal-christian women (and men!) who want me to go back to wearing pants! Sad

I will pray for someone in your area to be available for your need. Maybe you can advertise in the personals.

Sister, I do not own or wear pants either. I am in Grovetown, Georgia (close to Augusta) and I sew. A friend close by also has an abundance of fabric for dress-making. Maybe you can e-mail (kristiescarle@bellsouth.net) your measurements and I could help with a dress or two? Please send details (we have a Jo-ann's nearby!).
Serving in Christ,

Hi sister

You could try sending a pm to Raymond, he is the first on the member list on here. He owns the Modest Apparel site and he may be able to help.

Thank you Sis. Kristie for the links.

My clothing all falls into the modest category already, but they are wearing out and fading fast, and since I have a new job I need to update my wardrobe. I work in a group home and I am going to need some good sturdy work dresses and aprons. I have been wearing long denim jumpers, but since I fell and hurt my shoulder last year, I have a tough time will pull over clothing. I am looking for clothes that are easier for me to navigate - button front, etc.

I just saw this. Thank you Sis. Kristie. Smile

Also, I will send Raymond a PM. Thank you Brother David.

My dresses and skirts are getting very worn. They are "wash and wear." It is great to have this information! God bless.
