Modesty can mean all the respect to you or conversely you can be scorned. What are your thoughts? Posted by permission... Follow the link for the full story:
I have never seen a sister that has served a mission do that. I also think that sisters that serve missions seem to be more 'up' with the standards and easier to work with....
Of course this is not always the case, but I am glad we have good return Sister missionaries to set an example for the young women.
What I can't figure out though is why the parents do nothing about it? I have seen their daughters come out in fashion suitable for a hooker (no joke) and they seem all normal and complacent about it. Is it that they are just blind or do not want to say something for 'fear' their daughter will stop coming to Church?
MIXING GLAMOUR WITH MODESTY
See https://www.dailyherald.com/cook/main_story.asp?intID=381184
With several Naperville, Illinois, proms right around the corner, local
high school girls have been planning for the big day for months. For some
girls, finding a modest yet glamorous dress was an additional challenge.

My new ward is very different from the last ward... *some* of the moms and teenage daughters wear the most outrageous things! I know it's the new fashion to show some "midriff" around the hips, but really -- NOT at church! Skin-tight skirts that are low on the hips, and show the outline of underclothing? NO way! What are they thinking?? It's quite a shock to me -- I guess my old ward was really "conservative"

Recently we had a Sister get up in a Church meeting and talk about the way people dress and standards set when you wear revealing clothes, etc. It was an okay talk with the capacity to move a crowd to probably 3% - why? This same Sister was wearing a body fit dress at the time and is known for dressing on the skimpy side . Sometimes I wonder...
When I heard what this same sister JB is talking about get up and said that in Sacrament meeting I was shocked and thought "She has to be kidding!" but then I realize some members cannot see themselves doing anything wrong. They have so much the ways of the world that they cannot see the reality.
