Moms for Modesty

I saw this on a friends blog and thought it was worth passing on.
Moms for Modesty is a mission statement for mothers to dress their daughters modesty and to buy clothes from retailers that sell modest clothing. This is a very good thing, calling moms to make a commitment to buy clothing for their children that is God honoring.

Moms for Modesty Mission Statement

* As a Mom for Modesty I believe in common-sense modesty for girls and young women.
* I believe in refraining from sexualizing
our girls and young women.
* I believe that it is unwise and unfair
to taunt boys and young men by permitting
my daughter(s) to dress in an immodest manner.
* I believe that true beauty comes from within and I strive to teach my daughter(s) this truth.
* I will loyally shop at retailers that provide girls' and young womens clothing
that is modest, affordable and stylish.

Retailers that provide these clothes according to this site are:
Lands' End
Gymboree
Old Navy

I say, you can find modest clothes at the Targets, WalMarts and Second Hand Shops, not just the higher priced retailers suggested at this site.

The big question is: What is modest?
Modest is presenting yourself in a God honering way. Your dress, your attitude...ect. I believe that modesty is not just a word for women. Men also need to be modest. In the area of dress as well as presintation.
