Yes, I agree. Even with relatives, I like to dress modestly. And that outfit looks so comfortable.
Re: the Bohemian type of skirt, please be careful as those skirts not only shrink and can tear due to their sheerness, but also they are usually not colorfast, especially those made in India and Pakistan.
There was a woman who wore one of these long sheer Bohemian skirts at the local grocery store. When standing behind her at check out, one could see her buttocks as the thin fabric hugged her body. It was obvious that she was not wearing a slip. Therefore, in the full sunlight, that skirt was probably too revealing. It would have been much more modest to wear a denim short skirt.
I find that I usually have to re-sew the hems and flounces of these skirts as they frequently fall apart once they are washed. In addition, the elastic often falls apart after one washing. Many tags suggest dry cleaning these skirts due to the dyes used, but that does not solve the problem. For example, I wore a pretty red Bohemian skirt and got red dye all over my white slip.
I have had to donate almost all of my Bohemian skirts because the dyes used were not stable, they shrunk, or I had to resew them, which left them too short. I have had to replace the elastic in almost all my store or online purchases. Think about it: all that wasted fuel and time spent shopping and repairing items of clothing. Thus, it is best to make clothing from new fabric as that saves time, fuel, and money too.
Furthermore, wearing the shear multi-layered Bohemian style of skirt is not practical around the house or on the job. I get the bottom of the skirt caught and torn in my computer chair, or worse, the skirt flies when I walk and will catch in a door, the car door, or snag something. In short, they are hazards.
They are not even practical to wear to church as people have stepped on the flounce and almost pulled them off the woman, or when arising from a kneeling position, one could get caught in the flounce.
I'm not a fan of bohemian-style clothing. Here in NJ it's anything but hot, and I have an office job.Re: the Bohemian type of skirt, please be careful as those skirts not only shrink and can tear due to their sheerness, but also they are usually not colorfast, especially those made in India and Pakistan.

Thanks! The page sounds interesting, what's the link?Mariya,
You look great! If you're interested and on Facebook, there is a group where Orthodox sisters who dress modestly and cover their heads (in church mostly, but a good number of us cover outside of church too) gather to talk. We talk about modesty and covering, as well as lots of other stuff too. Let me know if you'd like to check it out.

Thanks, I like it, too.Gxg (G²);62746803 said:Love the dark blue look and how elegant it seems.
