Below are three outfits that I have particularly enjoyed wearing for the start of spring 2016! I tell you what I like about them and how they can be altered to fit other modest needs. Outfit 1:Dress: Goodwill Belt: Old Navy Leggings: Kohl's Why I like it: I LOVE this outfit because of the beautiful and bold spring-time leggings. I like this dress because it has a babydoll style to it (I especially love how it flairs out at the bottom). How does it fit into modesty: For me, this dress is long enough to cover my intimates and I don't have to worry about it when I bend over. Is it perfect for all modest wearers? Probably not. I am tall so a lot of dresses tend to look short on me, but I feel modest wearing this outfit since everything I want to be covered is. I also like how the neckline covers enough up top so I don't have to worry about showing anything when I bend down. Alterations: A black skirt could be added underneath to extend the dress. A cute sleeved undershirt could be added to cover shoulders and arms. A cardigan or jacket could also be added on top of the dress. Jewelry can be added, too! Outfit 2: Dress: Kohl's Bracelet: Kohl's Leggings: Costco Why I like it: I LOVE this outfit because of the fun, light, flowy dress. I wore this for Easter 2016 as well as for my graduation back in June 2014. It is feminine, shapes my body well, and flows out in all the right places. This is a fun uplifting piece that I will definitely be using more! How does it fit into modesty: For me, this dress is long enough to cover my intimates and I have added layers underneath for added protection for my chest, back, and legs. Is it perfect for all modest wearers? Probably not. I had to change my bra a few times just to make sure the cutout didn't expose it. The lower cut in the front and the cut out in the back would be two things that may make other modest wearers uncomfortable. Check out the alterations below to see how to fix these potential problem areas! Alterations: A plain white, beige, or pink top (with sleeves or sleeveless, your choice!) can be added underneath. This will give protection to the arms, chest, and back cutout and will still allow modest wearers to wear this fun dress! In terms of length, a flowy skirt or slip can be added to extend the dress. Try different types of skirts and different colors. You can keep it all flowy or use a straight skirt. Outfit 3: Dress: Goodwill Brand: Calvin Klein Why I like it: I adore this dress! It was perfect for the cold winter weather and makes for a nice transition into spring. For this outfit, I simply paired it with some red socks and was ready to go. The dress is fun to twirl around in as you can see in my video here.
How does it fit into modesty: For me, this dress is long enough to cover my intimates and is a good length where I don't have to worry about wearing anything underneath. The sleeves are long and the turtle neck is a plus! Alterations: Although this dress doesn't require much altering, a pair of leggings or tights can be added underneath for some extra coverage and warmth! Add jewelry to give this outfit a statement piece or leave the dress to be a statement on its own!
