Divine Modestee
 

Darcie told me about this site today. It has modest (higher necklines) tees, tanks, camisoles, etc. It also has modest swimsuits, skirts, dresses, etc. and they don't look old-fashioned like some places. I was pretty impressed.

Right now they have cute tanks and tees on clearance - some of them had been $27.95 and they are now $4.00.

Post the site will ya!

It's a good site, but not everything is going to be viewed as modest by conservatives--including me.

I don't think swimsuits are modest, personally, even if they are "full coverage." My girls and I wear swim trunks (board shorts) to the knees and rash guards. (Usually with a swimsuit underneath because of the tight fit and light weight material.)

For modest, practical, lightweight and protective (from the sun--not sharks) swimwear, try something like this:

or

We have fair skin anyway, so going bare in the sun would be pretty stupid--we'd all be fried. Jeffrey's poor back and shoulders blistered one time because I let him go without a shirt to swim--and he had multiple applications of sunscreen. (supposedly waterproof, but apparently not)

If I'm just with my girlfriends or Jeff and the kids, I might go a little lighter on the clothes, but at a beach or the lake with a mixed crowd? I think that calls for modest clothing. JMO!!!

What a rash guard?

Re: Divine Modestee
 

ok, I'm just gonna say, "Eeeeeew"

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Re: Divine Modestee
 

This site has some seriously modest swimwear:

Re: Divine Modestee
 

You are correct!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Ok, well forget the swimwear!!! Look at the camis and tees and you will see that there is NO CLEAVAGE! I am so sick and tired of seeing cleavage these days; it's everywhere.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Actually I think the board shorts and rash guards are cute, but some on here would not think those are modest either.:tease

I don't mind wearing a modest bathing suit at the beach where I don't know anyone except my family. What I will not do is wear a bathing suit in front of anyone else (male) that I know. I just think there's a level of familiarity that's too intimate in swimsuits. It's just a personal conviction. At the beach with my family, TRUST ME, no one else is even looking at me or noticing me!!!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Ew?

Surfers wear them, you nincompoop. LOL!!!!!!

THIS is a rash guard: (they're made from swimsuit material)

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I agree--and it is nice when you can find tees and especially camisoles or tanks that have higher necklines.

Hannah and I searched numerous stores a few months back trying to find a tank to go under one of her dresses--trying to fill in a low neck, and the tank necklines were nearly as low! LOL!!!!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

True! :D

I agree that it seems more inappropriate/immodest with people you know than with strangers. That sounds a little odd, but I know what you're saying! :thumbsup

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I don't get it. Can you post a few examples of what you mean??

:gotcha J/K LOL!

It's a good thing it's baseball season!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

:foottap

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I agree. I don't have any hang ups on basic necklines and can handle v-necks or u-neck shirts but everything I see in the stores is really low cut.
Some styles just can't be filled in.

A single male co-worker approached me a few months ago with a ?---he wanted to know if ladies clothing had gotten more revealing. This is a 25 yr old who doesn't attend church and he is concerned with the way teenaged girls are dressing. :blush

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Try having to find clothes for an 8 year old girl. I am appalled at how "old" the clothes look!!!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

How modest is a swim skirt? Seems that might be an issue in the water. My wife wears shorts over her swimsuit. Except this weekend she will be wearing this...

Re: Divine Modestee
 

The skirts on that site have attached pants underneath.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I saw some Amish ladies today at the beach. They were wading in with their dresses on. It was so sweet. Amish are some of the nicest folk I've ever met.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Well, that does it! If AMISH people can go to the beach, then I can too!!!! :D

Re: Divine Modestee
 

The swim skirt has shorts attached underneath, so it's modest in the water, and looks like a skirt out of the water. Best of both worlds, I suppose. :)

If I see you there, I won't tell!

The 3rd hr of the Today show just had a doctor as one of their guests and her topic was sunscreen; What to use, how often to apply , its importance etc.
AND she suggested having your children wear rash guards as sun protection!

So if not for modesty---wear rash guards to avoid skin cancer.:thumbsup

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I don't think so! She has on pants under that dress!

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I agree with you that there's too much cleavage now days. I recently told my husband that I guess I need to go check out the clothes at the Salvation Army Store or something because everthing I look at in the regularstores is so low I won't buy it.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Oh yeah, waaaay too much cleavage. :heeheehee

Re: Divine Modestee
 

Absolutely. I make my son wear a rash guard, too, because his skin is so fair, he will blister just like I do. I sat at a baseball game Saturday for only about an hour--but my back was to the sun--and I have a terrible burn where the neckline of my shirt dipped down a little. It's been painful all week.

Even if you can't find an adult sized rash guard, there are knit materials that don't hold water, and aren't clingy--wear them over a suit in a dark material, and it'll be almost the same. Usually you can find the right tees in the workout clothes.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

This is the only truly effective sun protection you can use.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

No one would want to see me in a bikini...so I am not tempted in the least...

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I'm convinced that some people don't own mirrors. Because, seriously...... :eek:

The public-at-large has NO desire to see some things! Way too much information.

Re: Divine Modestee
 

I sure would have a lot to show! ha.....fat...fat...fat.....
