    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?

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
