That seem rather uncalled for. (very holier than thou)

Not holier than thou. Merely speaking from experience. If it offends, perhaps you should wonder why?
Didn’t know it would be considered worldly to look good for your spouse.

I don’t know what that has to do with my comment.

Lets see people that try and look reasonably fashionable are worldlings? (Personally I haven’t been shopping for my self in 10 years. I could really careless.) What I take offense at is people projecting their preconceived notions about others on to them with out knowing their hearts. Then tossing around phrases like “worldling”.

You haven’t cornered the market on being offended. How about people tossing around words like “frumpy”, “puritan”, “dowdy”, “unfashionable” “jansenistic” and I could go on and on. Do those making fun of “jumper-wearers” know these peoples hearts? Are not those preconceived notions?
 
Okay, everybody, we’ve covered the jumpers–now how about 13 pages of discussion on shoes–my favorite topic 😃

Just kidding!

**i finally found a nice pair of black mary janes at fashion bug plus last year.
i USED to wear REALLY high heels in my younger days…now i’d fall over a break a hip or something.😃
we could also talk about the merits of pantyhose, tights and knee highs.😛

Yeah!

I love jumpers and wear them all the time. Especially I like denim jumpers. They are more comfortable than jeans and I can wear them to Mass and to shopping and just almost anywhere.

I think of how Our Lady would dress…

I essentially never wear pants to Mass; I always dress like a girl 👍

And if someone else does not like jumpers, I really don’t care!:o

Thank you Ann. I truely believe that it is in the hands of women to change things, it will take strong Cathollic mothers with the ability to see the truth… Oh, and by the way, I am a mother, thank you my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

God bless,
LaBernadette

Someone asked about the patron saint of jumpers.

LYDWINA of Schiedam is the patron saint of ice skaters, and they jump (lutz, axel, loop, flips, salchows, walleys, etc.)

Oh honey, I wish they did, but they don’t. The majority of women in Europe never sat on a pillow and embroidered all day. When you see that, you see women of means or nobility. European women work every bit as hard as we do, possibly harder! These were the ladies whose grandmothers and great-grandmothers kept families going during two world wars. They descend from tough old gals.

Yeah, I know, I was just trying to be funny. I used to live in an apartment above a Seamstress from Brussels (she made dresses for Judy Garland–really), and she always told me that, if we in the United States had a war on our soil, we’d never be able to survive the hardship because we’re too spoiled. Maria was her name. God rest her soul.
They can be, chosen for the right figure type. It’s when they are chosen for the wrong figure type that they look unattractive.

True.
Because “everybody” wears it.

Sadly.
Because “I want it” and Mom must gives in and gives her what she wants, so Mom will be liked.

Not this mama.
Because Mom is wearing it, too.

So unflattering.

No, not on the right woman, on you…a 5’4" doorstop made in the image and likeness of God. That is what matters, does it not? I am 5’4" too, and the way I look is the way I look. No fashion magazine showing emaciated women of tall stature should be the guideline of what looks good.

I love discussions on modesty and seeing pictures of modest clothes.

I usually wear skirts, dresses, jumpers, and if its cold out, I’ll have jeans or pants on underneath the skirt/dress. I prefer long sleeves, even in summer. My black shawl keeps me from getting sunburned on the back of my neck and makes sure I can’t mysteriously get sunburned right through the dress/shirt and skirt/jumper and shirt. My scalp is kept warm in winter and kept cool and un-sunburned in summer…by a pretty bonnet!

You girls will LOVE this site!

plainlydressed.com

They have cotton underclothing that you won’t find in modern stores, headcoverings of all kinds, old-fashioned shoes, etc. This is my favourite site and where I usually shop from. I never have to worry about modern nonsense…like kick pleats, skirts and pants that are supposed to be worn half down your rear, horrid low necklines when I prefer a collar of some kind, see-through clothes, nylon stockings–I prefer cotton, which are sold on this site–, and the non-feminine hats that don’t really cover anything! I could go on and on.

I love handsewing, but it really is difficult for me to read patterns and it can be difficult to find patterns as modest as the Amish/Mennonites have.

Even as a child, I’ve preferred modest clothing. My family tried to get me to wear “more modern” things, but I hated them to no end. They made me feel naked and wrong. I never wanted to offend my Lord in such awful things.

So I do agree with that nice lady that commented that Our Lady of Fatima warned about immodest fashions emerging. I mean, oh boy…did they ever emerge!

Its sad that I can’t find the same modest stuff at secondhand stores, like St. Vincent de Paul nor Salvation Army. I have to always shop at Plainly Dressed and Ebay [sometimes they have modest stuff like this]…but it would help if I also knew of an online place where I could buy this same modest stuff for cheaper. Its difficult when you’re on a low income.

[print kinda big on account of my eyes] 🙂
