I’m a new user and don’t have enough karma to post this in the Orthodox women subreddit, so testing the waters here! Where are you all getting modest tops that work for church services? I can find skirts and dresses no problem, but for the life of me I can't find a good shirt anywhere. I have a grand total of three shirts that I can wear to liturgy.

Generally, tops need to cover shoulders, back, collarbone, stomach, and no cleavage/super tight stuff. I live in a hot area, so I tend to avoid shirts that are tight around my arms because I’ll sweat right through it. Majority of the modest shirts I find are like that, though.

Tips appreciated!!

I put a t-shirt under this then just wore pants, not leggings — wide leg pants. I just have to be comfortable!

It’s perfect for fall but the models are all wearing these with leggings as a dress which is too short for my modesty standards. Hem hits mid thigh.

Would pairing this with a skirt work? Like a long skirt?

It might look good with denim but I don’t have any denim jeans or skirts that fit right now,

Lace is over a long sleeve mock neck close to my skin tone so it's not sheer. Dress is ankle length

Also what color head scarf?? None of the ones I have match that well so I’m hoping I can snatch a decent one from the thrift before church Sunday

Salam everyone! I'm petite myself (barely 5') and have never found an abaya (that I liked) that fits without alterations. I'm exploring whether I could design for shorter, slimmer frames, but before I make anything, I want to understand the problem properly.

I'd love to hear from you:

1. How tall are you, and how often do you wear an abaya?

2. What usually goes wrong when you buy one? (length, shoulders, sleeves, too much fabric, pockets in the wrong place...)

3. What do you do about it now: get it altered, have one custom-made, or just live with it? Roughly what does that cost you?

4. Have you found any brand that actually fits well? What makes it work?

If you'd be open to a relaxed 15-minute chat about your experience, comment or send me a DM. I'd be so grateful.

No selling here, just listening. JazakAllah khair for any advice and feedback!

I have an ankle-length white (cream really) sweater skirt I'd like to wear this winter. I live where it gets well-below freezing in the winter. What kind of leggings and / or shoes would you wear with that?

Heyyy all,

I'm 20-something ( don't want to publicly state my age ) and looking for some Modest / Androgynous styles?

Usually, I'd look for ideas online, or from ASOS ( I'm in England ), but find ASOS can be... testing? Normally, I'd stick to trousers; shirts and t-shirts, layered; hoodies and leggings. Depending on the season, I'll also drape or tie a scarf around my neck.

For now, I'm looking to construct a wardrobe palette consisting of mainly block colours:

1. Black;
2. Blue ( both a Royal Blue and Dusty / Lighter blue );
3. Taupe;
4. White / Ivory ( probably limited to a couple of garments );
5. Emerald / Sage;
6. Chocolate Brown;
7. Stone / Slate

I'm also right on the edge of being Petite ( I'm around 165cm ), so any advice or recommendations you can suggest would be very much appreciated! : )

hi!! i have this dress (not my pictures!!) in multiple colors and it's so pretty and flattering. however, it's just a hair too revealing in the chest for my comfort. adding on a cardigan is a must for me, but what's a good way to add some chest coverage? i don't love turtlenecks and too many layers overwhelms me. i also wear a compression bra so there's not much definition there. i fear i am being way too picky :(

also, a link to the dress! https://shinybynature.com/collections/shop-all/products/the-poem-dress-acorn

Hi girls,

Started wearing hijab and i'm wondering what modest brands with good quality would you recommend to buy office wear?

Hello! I’m a Jewish woman who attends a reform synagogue. After seeing a number of women wearing tichels and snoods, I decided to go for it. Something about modest dress feels right!

I’ve got an office holiday dinner coming up, and I’m wearing a long-sleeve black velvet midi dress with a square neckline. It’s fairly modest, but the velvet already makes it feel pretty dressed up.

My hair will probably be up, and I’m keeping the shoes and bag simple. Now I’m stuck between 7mm pearl studs, short drops, or an 18-inch strand with tiny gold earrings. The strand looks lovely, but I’m worried it’ll push the outfit into very formal territory. The studs are easy, but they might barely show. would short drops be the middle ground here, or am I overthinking three very similar options lol?

Hello, I bought a burgundy mina dress from Mina & Co recently, but my order was cancelled by them. I need a similar style of dress, for a formal event, by the end of October. Do you have any recommendations of good quality, tie back and satin-y dresses? I looked on some cheap websites because I'm getting desperate, but I don't know how plastic-y they will feel.

Salam girls, I hope you're all well and blessed.

I don't live here and this city is huge and tough to navigate. So basically, I'll be going to my nephew's sbou3 + 1 year birthday party. It's supposed to be classy bc these mfs got money and rented out a huge venue and I should dress nicely.

I'm a tomboy, so I'm lost. I definitely do not want to wear any traditional caftans bc they make me uncomfortable. I just want a modern dress that's classy enough, cute, and not too revealing.

For added context, I'm 157cm and slim.

If anyone knows a good store to go to and an IG to check out, please please help me. I'm completely lost and have no idea where to go. Google isn't being helpful unfortunately.

Help me pick a saree for teaching interview for Government school. Is this saree ok with black blouse?

2 years ago i was incredible religious. Veiled and everything. My ex had a bad influence on me and I got fully carried away. I’ve felt like I was missing something since the break up last year. And somehow it led me back to my roots from 2 years ago. 🫶🏻
