Today's clothing Racks are lined with low cut tees, revealing skirts and way too tight jeans. With so little selection how is a Christian girl suppsed to dress modestly?

Well by the time you get to the end of this magazine you will be confident in your modest choices. However, First things first. What is modesty? are there any specific rules or guideines? and where does the Bible say anything about this?

Answer one. Modesty is the Act of being modest, and being modest means to carry yourself in a way that is decent. Now what does that mean for us? It means that we dress and act in a way that is pleasing to God. So there are a few suggested guidelines for being modest. Some seem outrageous at first but ask God to help you understand.

Tip 1: your shirts should not be lower than four fingers below your neckbone.

Tip 2: Skirts should not be higher than four fingers above the knee cap.

Tip 3: Keep your bra straps underwraps, and pantylines should not be visible

Tip 4: shirts should accentuate your face not your bust.

Tip 5: try not to buy pants that are too tight.

Get the just of it?

Basically the premise of being modest is to make sure that within reason you are not trying to get guys to notice you. Ok sure you want to be noticed but adverstising your body realy isnt the way to do it. Trust me, guys will respect you more when you are dressed and the right guy who asks you out will have asked you out for your personality! Score!? I think so...

In the next few pages you will see examples of modest clothing that is cute! trust me on this one... I think Jesus would be proud.

Finally, Make sure that you are certain that Jesus woud approve of what you are wearing. And dont use the cute excuses like, "Oh, Jesus loves Everyone... EVERYONE right?" or even "Come as you are" These are statements that they wont even let pass,
