Great idea, huh. Of course, she is also planning on being a horse trainer, missionary, midwife...and wants a passle of kids! An out of state friend of mine, said that they had to leave their church because of the short skirts the girls would wear sitting on stage with the choir. My friend has 6 sons, and her husband voiced his concerns over this attire and the undesirable "view" to their preacher, who decided not to do anything about it.

But as the majority of society continues to encourage, promote, and glamorize those that show too much skin it will continue to be an area that Christian parents have to struggle to choose things that the children will like to wear that are still modest.

It is almost impossible finding clothes that nothing is being exposed. Luckily, at my church we don't have that much of a problem, but sometimes, some girls do tend to dress a little riske. I have boys and my worry is that they will not respect women because of the way they dress. My job is teach them to love them as Christ loves them. Sadly, society deems that we bare all.

I see this tendency every day in my work (being a high school teacher). It almost seems like girls compete in showing more nakedness every day, and we as teachers are not supposed to react, because clothing is a personal matter ! My church is a very small congregation, and we do not have these kinds of problems, luckily for us, though one may notice some tendencies in bigger churches nearby. There is one more aspect of this - the material one, because fashion is costly, and one often sees young girls saving their money by not eating properly. I must sadly say that 'modesty' has become a very odd notion in this world of feelings and selfgratification... Just my three pence :) Anna You are absolutely right.
