A subreddit for people of all backgrounds who practice modest dress as an expression of their faith, devotion, dignity, or for any other reason! Come share and discover tips on finding head coverings, long skirts, and other modest apparel! Share and discover individual experiences with modest living, and discuss what modesty means to you! Be nice and have fun!

Please be respectful to everyone! Let's make this a fun, supportive community!

  1. Don't be mean. Don’t troll or harass people, for any reason. Don’t use personal (ad hominem) attacks. Please don't criticize a garment or outfit as "not modest enough", unless the O.P. has defined their criteria and specifically requested such feedback. Share your experiences and opinions in a supportive and non-judgmental way. Let's keep in mind that modest dress means different things to different people.

  2. No religion bashing/debating. This subreddit does not belong to any particular religion and posting is open to everyone. Proselytizing, debating or bashing ANY religion or world viewpoints is prohibited. However, as modesty is often closely tied with faith and tradition, content deemed disrespectful or offensive to religious and cultural perspectives will be removed.

  3. No sexual content. Do not post any sexualized comments or pictures. Accounts that post fetish or nude content elsewhere on reddit may have posts removed at mod discretion.

  4. No advertising. If you would like to advertise your business, please post in our weekly Modest Finds thread.

  5. No politics. Comments about politics are subject to removal unless they are directly relevant to modest clothing.

Any Non-Conservative Modest dressers here?

To look at me and not know me, many folks would probably assume that I’m extremely religiously conservative and possibly politically conservative too. I wear long skirts, often have my arms completely covered, wear obvious Christian jewelry, and wear headscarves daily. However, many folks would be surprised to know that I’m an out lesbian, extremely leftist, and a Progressive Christian, and our theology doesn’t require any sort of physical modesty at all.

I was wondering if anyone else is like me here, devoutly religious and dresses modest, but also extremely liberal and the complete opposite of what people would assume a modest religious woman/person is like? I don’t often meet others quite like me…or ever really.

Where to find Tznius prom dress?

I'm going to prom for the first time this spring, but I cannot find any tznius dresses or stores that sell modest formal dresses with the "wow" factor of a prom dress. I want to look great, but also be modest (must cover: collarbone, elbows, knees). I live in an area with a high muslim population, so maybe someone can recommend some kind of halal formal dress store I might have around here? Or a kosher one. Websites are also okay just to get an idea of what kind of dress I want.

My personal taste is that the dress is flattering, mature, and tasteful (not a lot of glitter, but I want it to be a fancy dress in other ways, and I don't want to have a dress that doesn't stand out).

PSA to no muslins who want to wear ME clothes

After replying on someones post here, I was privately messaged being called a mentally ill narcissist who needs mental help, then blocked. This was told to me by someone who isn't middle eastern but is Muslim to me who is a non Muslim from the middle east who insisted that Islamic clothing can only be worn by Muslims and by wearing such clothing it's cultural appropriation. I want to let everyone know that Islam is a religion, not a culture. And plenty of non Muslims from the middle east wear such clothing, as it's our culture and we can wear whatever we want. Please don't claim something comes from a certain religion, this is a safe space for everyone. And these clothes existed before Islam. Please respect all beliefs. Thank you.

Modest plus size white dress for Baptism & Confirmation

I’m in need of a dress for my Baptism & Confirmation at Easter Vigil Mass. I’m finding a lot of dresses, but nothing modest. I’m needing shoulders and knees covered (and no cleavage) and am finding this difficult. I’m a US 18-20/2x if it helps.

Any good recommendations? Thanks!

Anyone else notice that people treat you with more respect when dressed modestly?

I recently just started dressing more “lady-like”. Each time I’ve gone out, people call me “ma’am”, hold the door for me, smile more when they’re talking to me, etc. I’ve never been treated like this before in public. I had a handyman come to my house today, and he treated me with respect that I’ve never seen before from someone doing a job for me. I like it. I was wearing a long sleeve turtle neck with a long skirt. I guess I looked like a “church girl” lol.

Where to buy niqab made of natural material?

Does anyone know where I can purchase a layer niqab or pull down niqab that is made from a natural fabric? Or a khimar/one piece jilbab with an integrated niqab. Or even just a single layer niqab.

I care a lot about the environment and I can't bring myself to purchase a polyester one and I can't find one that is not made of a synthetic fabric. I am so frustrated at this point. I have been looking everywhere, on and off, for months.

Or if you know of a good tutorial for how to make one of those things, please share that! I have basic sewing skills and I don't feel confident about trying to make one myself but I feel like I might have to try since I can't find one to buy and I can't afford to hire a seamstress.
