Question

Dresses and skirts that go to mid-knee are hard to find. What can I wear under my old skirts and dresses to make them more modest for church?

Community Answer

Underskirt shorts are quite cheap on many online retailers. They're for some extra protection under skirts and aren't meant to be seen, though you could size up to feel more modest in them.

Question

My wife chooses see through garments, or knit tops with very large spaces. What to do? Also she often unbuttons her blouse to her bra. Also many skinny jeans. Very tight. Great figure at 62. What to do?

Community Answer

Buy her some cute, modest clothing. Make sure it is actually cute, chic, or edgy, or she might not want to wear it. But the best thing is to appreciate her savvy dress sense and love her for who she is.

Question

Grandson’s wedding. I am 81 and have a lovely dress in brown, black and light turquoise. the pattern is small, it is so very lovely. I wonder about a purse and jacket?

Community Answer

With the colors black and turquoise, any black or even white accessories would look very nice. Whatever you think would look nice considering the dress’s design/pattern would work too!

Question

Is it wrong to wear trousers as a lady?

Melanie Sepuleveda

Community Answer

Not at all! Some people think it might look odd for women to wear trousers, but that is a very old-fashioned attitude now. These days, it’s completely up to you to wear them, or not. They are modest because they cover your legs.
