Slinky Clothing Provokes Rape?
Running a website on modesty, I have heard all sorts of reasons of why a woman should wear modest clothing. Most of the reasons center around what different clothing does to guys that look at it, and a desire not to cause men to lust after a woman.
The problem with this logic is that this takes away the personal responsibility of the man to avoid looking at things that cause them to be tempted—and to resist temptation when it comes upon them.

Modest Maternity
One of the hardest times for a woman to be modest is when she’s pregnant. Her shape is changing, and by about four months is obvious to just about everyone that there’s a little one that will soon be making his or her appearance.
To compound the problem if you’re pregnant in summer you have the heat and the weight to deal with!
Our culture has started to look kindly on motherhood, and even embrace it. They have decided that women can still look beautiful when they have a “baby on board” and some designers even go so far as to fashion maternity clothes that feature the belly.

New Creation Apparel Giveaway
I must confess, this first article I’m highlighting isn’t from me—but it is from my site. We’re having a giveaway over at Is This Modest? and the winner gets a new skirt from New Creation Apparel…
Due to the overwhelming response to our recent post on New Creation Apparel, they have been so gracious to give away a skirt to one of our readers! Again, 
let me just put in a little plug for them, since I have been so amazed and thrilled with their customer service and the quality of their skirts. This is not a company that is just out there to make money! They have an amazing selection of skirts, and the prices are very reasonable. I have been in contact with one of the owners, Sigrid, and I think she would be more than happy to answer any questions about fit or sizing if you are unsure about what size or style you should order. She is a very sweet lady, and has always written me back right away.

Modest Maternity Clothing
There are two times in a lady’s life where it’s hard to be modest. One of them is when they are in a formal. The other is when they’re pregnant.
Why? Because today’s maternity clothes tend to draw attention to something that needs no attention drawn to it—your ever expanding belly.
While I’m not one to say that a lady should be ashamed of the baby growing inside her, at the same time pregnancy brings new challenge to being modest. Specifically in the areas of tightness and coverage.

On the Front-lines of Modest Fashion
When the big stores refused to make clothing that was modest in fit and form, some protested, some wrote letters, and some decided that they could make their own clothing to sell. Christa Taylor is one such company.
In a recent interview with Mrs. Wilt at The Sparrow’s Nest, Christa herself talked about why she started her company:
In reality, Christa-Taylor.com grew out of frustration. After searching endlessly for a swimsuit that just didn’t exist, we designed our own. Under the direction and guidance of my Dad and brothers we started to experiment with different ideas, and eventually the possibility of opening our own Christa Taylor line. With much counsel and much perseverance we launched Christa-Taylor.com on January 15th, 2007, with just 1 swimsuit and 2 skirts. Since then, we have continued to refine and perfect our service and selection. It’s still very much a work in progress, but what an adventure!

Carnival of Modesty – February 8, 2008
Welcome to the Carnival of Modesty– Long overdue for the month. Winter is a hard time to find good articles on Modesty– for the simple reason that it’s not usually the time of year where men and women like to show off skin! That being the case, there are still people that do it, and you cannot avoid immodestly dressed people in the malls and indoor shopping areas.
So, I sat down (virtually) with a bunch of different people on the topic, and here’s what they came up with:
