Such a mine of information. I concur with the ladies who favor tropical breeze fabric. For dresses(cape and plain) and prairie style full aprons it is such a well wearing and easy care fabric. Two suppliers i have purchased from are The Kings Daughters and Plainlydresssed, although I am not sure the later is still operating. They both have a nice selection of modest dresses, aprons, undergarments etc. Blessings, Grace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-56929431213739668332017-10-31T07:54:47.142-04:002017-10-31T07:54:47.142-04:00I recently came across your blog and have been rea...I recently came across your blog and have been reading along.<a href="https://www.saiqamajeed.com/" rel="nofollow">modest dresses</a> I thought I would leave my first comment.

For a general modest clothing resource, modestclothes.com has a database of modest clothing in every type--Jewish, Muslim, simple Christian, LDS, swimwear, etc. Another good resource is A Christian Home (achristianhome.org). These sites got me started ten years ago. HannahLise.com has great a-line skirts. These have been my wardrobe staples for ten years. If the prices look high, check the irregulars--the quality and fit are still great, and the price is greatly reduced. Blessings to all add you seek to honor the Lord with your clothing.Alice Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322459333477173574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-92149598199399920032017-05-02T13:31:17.194-04:002017-05-02T13:31:17.194-04:00For facebook users there are pages available;

Yes they can be "pricey" but the quality is good and they last and last if you take care of them.

If it helps anyone, we buy Lands End or Hanna Andersson dresses (the long, full, twirl style) from eBay or the local thrift stores for our girls. Tea Collection is another nice option, especially if they are making the maxi length style. We buy cheap Walmart leggings to wear underneath all the time. Lands End and Hanna also provide our swimsuits. They make skirt bottoms with leggings attached and swim shirts to match, so the girls look cute but still covered. Same for myself, and swim shirts for my husband and boys too. I find myself long full maxi skirts from Walmart or the thrift store. Blouses and polo shirts too. Occasionally spend a little extra at Duluth Trading or Lands End for some thicker fabric with longer hems and more coverage. Fleece vests in the winter add extra warmth and coverage without slowing down my arms for babies and housework. :)Melaniehttp://devriendlines.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-22706561503463208272017-04-21T06:50:58.778-04:002017-04-21T06:50:58.778-04:00Lands End sells modest swim wear and also offers s...Lands End sells modest swim wear and also offers slim sizes which is unusual.

Denim an co brand. The quality went way down the hill about four years ago though. I don't buy them any longer. I just found skirt I really like, it's only available in sz 12 and up though. I am a 14/16. It's from the website woman within. Long 100% cotton thinner denim, but not overly thin, about an 8inch ruffle at the hem. Elastic and drawstring waist. I tuck the string inside. I usually wear a t shirt type shirt. Long or 3/4 sleeve (lands end has good necklines) a long skirt, and if I am at home, apron. I make the aprons, but have a few boughten. I am also a fan of scarves for out of the house stuff. I am more comfortable with another layer in front. I get lightweight long skinny ones, like a winter scarf, but summer weight. Always check the thrift stores! I love thrift stores and get most children's clothing there. Sometimes they have great skirts in my size too! I found my favorite dress ever there, about 5 years ago. It's a Woolrich zipper back jumper dress in a brushed cotton that's really durable. I still wear that one. If it were available I would get many more. Cathy.

Sometimes I think it would be simpler to just go with the cape dress but since I am not Mennonite and I don't want to stand out in a community where I have never, ever seen anyone wear anything close to that even, its not something I would feel comfortable doing. We have all girls so its tough. I spend a lot of time searching for items to wear. Fabrics have gotten thinner in the past few years! I find I am constantly frustrated about clothing. The best finds I have found are at thrift shops since they tend to have clothes from several years back when there were more options. I don't know what I will do several years down the road. I try to remember not to worry, since we have always had clothes to wear! I am thankful to say we have always found something! Sometimes I end up wearing things I don't really like that much but at least it covers and is comfortable.

They are nursing friendly since they are only half length, and also not nearly as hot or bulky as wearing a full tshirt underneath. (Paired with an "undercover mama" nursing tank they can allow for very discreet nursing). Chadwicks.com used to have a long and modest denim skirt, but they stopped carrying it maybe a year ago. I'm not sure where I'll get replacements when mine wear out in a year or two (I wear them six days a week! They really are quite sturdy yet soft and flowy. I'm hoping by then they will have something comparable again.)

However - many of the patterns that I used to make their clothing are still available through etsy or ebay. They are mainly geared towards smocking & heirloom sewing , however, they are easily modified to be sewn WITHOUT smocking or lace insertion. I made many, many jumpers & dresses without the smocked bodice - put 5" hems in the skirts & they wore them literally for YEARS. I made short puff sleeved blouses for spring & summer & long sleeves for winter - or they wore turtle necks. My favorite patterns where from Cherry Williams, Peanut Butter & Jelly Kids, and Love & Stitches (Debbie Glen). If you eliminate the smocking - you could also modify patterns found in the Sew Beautiful magazines & Creative Needle. I have found several auctions with multiple copies selling for dirt cheap! (I kept all mine :) ) Just a thought ya'll!<br /><br />Sam<br />momtofatdogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389739578090412265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-27289498230564778542017-04-17T04:21:14.216-04:002017-04-17T04:21:14.216-04:00I go to church with a lady who recently published ...I go to church with a lady who recently published little girls pattern sz 1-8 and plans to release the jr. sz girl patterns 10-16. early summer.
