Tips
- When shopping for modest clothing in-store, look at the shirts and sweaters that are folded and displayed on a table. They tend to be more modest than the clothing that's hung up.Thanks
- Don't wear a white garment with white underwear. The white looks more transparent in some areas, so everyone can see your bra or slip underneath it.Thanks
