LDS Modest Clothing

I categorized the chart into two levels of modesty because there are so many different definitions of modesty. I put the level of “Christian Modesty Standard” at an LDS Mormon level because it was a midpoint between the average Christian and the Pentecostal Apostolic Christian. Though you can find all three levels in most of the stores listed the specific parameters were dresses that didn’t show bare shoulders, has a skirt that goes to the knee, at least a cap sleeve and no cleavage showing.

Modest Dresses For Church

The style levels I was shooting for was something that would be appropriate for church or work, so anywhere between casual, semi-formal and a subtle formal dress.

Modest Dresses With Sleeves

The percentage levels included in the “Christian Modesty Standard” were all dresses with sleeves even though some Christians don’t consider that a requirement for modesty.

Islamic Modest Dresses

I included a column for Islamic dresses in the chart because there were a few stores that did have some Islamic options. I will create a future post that lists only Islamic dresses so stay tuned.

Real World Locations To Find Modest Dresses

Modest Dresses Utah

Even though its difficult to find a lot of online stores that sell modest clothing it’s not as hard as finding a real brick and mortar store that sells modest clothing in your hometown. Unless you live in the middle of Utah, stores that sell modest dresses are far an few between. Most local clothing stores don’t sell dresses and the ones that do only about 5% of those dresses are modest. That is why finding modest dresses online is important. The reason why the middle of Utah has more modest clothing stores is that it is the center of the greatest population of Mormons. Because there are so many members of the LDS church in Utah the demand for modest dresses is high and there are more Mormons who own the clothing stores there too.
