OREM, Utah - When upstate New York native Michaella Lawson returned from her mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she became acutely aware that her passion for theater and dinner dates was diminished by her wardrobe. Nothing was available in the stores she patronized that met her standards of modesty and style, so she began designing her own dresses.

My only concern is that by teaching our children so young and demanding modesty is that we are sexualizing our children too yearly. Should a 8 year old girl for example be worried about showing too much skin in fear of turning on another boy? Remember that this is the awareness that we are teaching our children with modesty. I just see some problems with this, that a child should not worry about this.

Also when does the term modesty only relate to sex and our clothing choices? Does modesty mean more than this? It seems when we LDS talk about modesty it is referring to dress and sex.
