Modest Clothing for Women & Girls Pt. 3


I remember a time when I felt despair about Modest Clothing. Not despair over "having" to be modest but rather despairing over the arduous search required to find modest clothing that suited me. I like long skirts, I try to skip multiple layers and I prefer my clothes to be pre-modest with no adjustments needed. I put together Modest Clothing for Women & Girls Pt. 1 & Pt. 2 because I felt that there were others out that who felt the same. Well, lucky for you and me, I found MORE Modest Clothing websites! Huzzah! I'm very excited to share these with you today.

 
Modest tops, casual & dressy skirts, dresses and layering basics. DCM Apparel has many items that are made right here in the USA! DCM Apparel has their own clothing lined called Virtue and created a reversible high neck layering tank top called Tanksalot.

ComforTeez is an undershirt designed for comfort and style. We give an extra 4-5 inches of length to your shirt so you can move in comfort and ease. The unique cut, stretchy fabric and stylish satin trim allows for wearing it as an undershirt or simply as a Tee. All styles are long enough to tuck into your low-rise jeans or excellent for layering. ComforTeez will meet all your modest needs as you utilize your current wardrobe or shop for clothes you normally wouldn’t.
 
ComforTeez was founded in 2005. All undershirts are made in the U.S.A.

 
POSHTOP was created to address the needs of modest women who want high quality fashion garments. We took notice that religious women desirous to dress frum had limited choices of layering and elegant tops. While our garments adhere to tznius specifications, we take great care to manufacture clothes that are fashionable and ultra-comfortable. This is clothing for all women who want to look and feel confident and stylish.
 
 

 
Modesty 4 Me High Neck Camis and Tees created by Cindy Fowler after she saw a need for a basic wardrobe component (ie. tops and layering camis with high necklines) to help women dress modestly. Hurray for Cindy!

Apostolic Clothing Co. is an answer to a cry that has gone on for a long time. It is a cry for a clothing company that would offer a variety of clothing that are modest yet trendy. Joining forces, many companies have come together to create this reality where clothing is not only modest, but also fashionable and trendy.

 
 
Sweet Salt Clothing looks like a pretty new company but their clothing looks to be light, sweet and promising. The website offers layering basics, tops and tees and really cute skirts.
 

 
 
Biblical Garden was created by Sarah Kopp because she knew what it was like to have to "hunt" for modest clothing:
 

"Modest women have a hard time shopping for clothes - looking through hundreds of items in dozens of stores just to find the few things on offer that meet our standards of modesty is no fun. So I thought, I'll get every modest dress, skirt and top on the internet and put them all into one website where you can browse for the styles and colors you love, instead of slogging through the masses of un-wearable clothing in the typical online store."

Biblical Garden features modest tops, skirts, swim suits and dresses made in Israel.

 

As a nursing Mom, I have really loved my half-layering tops and now that they are pretty beat up, I am looking at getting more. Halftee to the rescue!

Halftee was thought up by Amanda while she was nursing her son (baby #4) and managing multiple layers to maintain modesty. It's a hassle dealing with multiple layers, is it not? Once she had baby #5, she knew something had to change. So she designed the Halftee, a layering top that offers coverage for the neckline, shoulders and arms but cut out the extra length and hassle of regular layering tops. It's "All Style, No Hassle".

 
Baby'O Clothing company offers modest (tznius) high quality, American made skirts and dresses for girls, teens and women. Their clothing line is easy to wear, clean and easy on the wallet. And they look oh-so-comfortable. But this is what caught me:
 
"A modestly dressed woman or child does not have to sacrifice these elements in order to be fashionable and we’re proud to accommodate your desires and to be a reflection of who you are."
 
Win!

Now, my friends, have I missed anything? Where do you go shopping for your Modest Wardrobe? Stay tuned because I am certain part 4 will be coming soon!

All-Purpose Essential Oil Spray


My daughter is my little helper. When I sweep the floor, she wants to sweep too. She balls up laundry trying to fold it like I do. It's hilarious (and adorable) when she tries to hang clothes on a hanger. But one of her favorite things to do is to wipe the table and counter tops. I got a little nervous letting my daughter wipe off our table using traditional cleaners and as I love making homemade cleaners I made one using doTerra essential oils. The essential oils are safe, healthy and make the house smell fantastic.
 
I use my spray for wiping off counter tops and the table but I've also used it in my bathrooms and the clean up little messes here and there.  You can easily make a spray that is just for illness, allergies or just to make something smell yummy.
 
 
Above, you'll see the recipe to my essential oils spray. I fill a 32oz bottle half way with water, add my essential oils, fill up the remainder of the bottle then shake and spray. Simple and easy.
 
I am still learning and experimenting with essential oils (they were my constant companion after my C-section) but here are the ones I have been using recently. These oils are designated as Disinfecting oils so they are perfect for cleaning without completely sterilizing your work surface.
 
*Purify
 
*Melaluca
 
*Lemon
 
*Lime
 
*On Guard (great for times of illness)
 
*Eucalyptus
 
*Grapefruit
 
And here is a recipe for a disinfectant blend:
 
10 drops Lavendar
20 drops Thyme
5 Eucalyptus
5 Oregano
 
Add these oils to a bowl of water and wipe down a surface or combine in a spray bottle and use as needed.
 
If you haven't tried Essential Oils, give it a look and see if they are right for you.
 
 
God bless!
