Women are addressed directly in God's word to dress modestly. Perhaps some women claim ignorance on this issue, but it is a fact and there is no way around it. In like manner also , that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with brooded hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array 1 Tim 2:9 While we can't expect heathen women to follow this command, women "professing godliness" certainly should. Why then do we see so many Christian women dressing themselves and their daughters in varying degrees of immodesty? I see a couple of problems that can hinder a woman who wishes she could dress more modestly, but thinks she just "can't". Most stores don't have modesty as a guiding design principle, so shopping in them can make one feel pidgeon-holed into the latest trends.. Most new clothes sold today have compromising necklines, blouses that cling, and 'everyday' dresses or skirts are hard
