What are some saints well known for their modesty (in dress)? I heard a story of St. Perpetua (or maybe St. Felicity?) today about her modesty when she was being martyred, and this inspired me to find more saints who demonstrated this virtue. Any saints really famous for it, or have written about it?

Love,

Hmm…the only ones coming to mind are St. Agnes and St. Maria Goretti – for modesty, chastity, and purity. I can’t think of any other off the top of my head. Have you checked over at the Patron Saints Index? Click “List By Topic” in the right-hand top corner of the page; there will be a link there to take you to a list – hough not definitive, a very good starting point.
 
Please read the letters of St Teresa de Los Andes.
St Aloysius Gonzaga also comes to mind.
 
St. Philomena is another beautiful Saint…she’s my best friend!
