I’m not sure if this is that common of a problem for most girls today but my daughter is 13 years old and finds it hard to shop for clothes that she feels comfortable in. She doesn’t like low cut or spaghetti straps or even sleeveless tops or dresses and hates it when tops show her tummy. She prefers skirts that come mid-thigh or lower as opposed to mini-skirts. I guess you could say she likes modest dresses and tops. Don’t get me wrong, I love this fact about her. I remember wearing some things in high school that I’m not sure how I got out of the house with. Needless to say, I would like to encourage her choices in fashion and I don’t always have the time to make everything she wears. I’m sure as she gets a little farther into her teens, her fashion sense may change but I’d like to make it easy for her to know where to go to find things she is comfortable in. So, in checking around I have found and would like to share some good links and places to shop that have modest dresses and we have a little more luck with her fashion sense. Here’s a quick list of places to shop: http://shop.pacsun.com/girls/dresses/index.cat http://www.landsend.com http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=15292 As far as patterns go, once we finally decide on a style she likes, sometimes it is a modest dress, sometimes not, we alter the top to raise the neckline to a comfortable level for her or add an inset in some cases to keep the integrity of the style. Other options include wearing a t-shirt or tank top under something with thinner straps or lower necklines. You can also check out the video in my previous post Watch how to sew cute modest dresses in less than one hour . I’m not sure why so many clothes for girls are simply too revealing for comfort and why it should be so hard to find cute and pretty fashions for kids who like modest clothing. I hope this post helps other girls and moms who are looking for places to find modest dresses and clothes that they can feel good about.
