About This Quote
Modesty answers not the crude how of femininity, but the beautiful why. Modesty is more than just dressing modestly. Modesty also means dressing according to your own unique sense of style and not in a way that would be considered “grotesque” or “improper.” It’s about knowing who you are and what kind of clothing suits you best. There is no reason to feel ashamed of your body. Remember, we were created by God and He gave each of us our own unique beauty that no one else has or will ever have.
