Where to Find Modest Clothing

SimplyModest
Basically, on on-line "thrift store" which sells modest clothing at great prices! I’ve been pleased with the jumper I bought – and it was a great deal!

Do you have suggestions on where to find modest clothing? We'd love to hear! Click here to e-mail us!

Sewing Options

Sewing is a great opportunity to make modest clothes. There are many advantages – learning a homemaking skill, being able to sew matching outfits, learning patience to a greater extent (ripping out mis-sewed seams is not fun!), and the accomplishment of making a garment!

http://www.commonsensepatterns.com - This place carries many modest patterns. I would encourage trying out the pattern with cheap fabric to make sure it fits properly. It is always discouraging to sew something, only to not have it fit.

Patterns
Young ladies:
Simplicity #5900 (long jumper)
Cute, pleated front. One suggestion! Make sure to bring the pleats down to your waist level. Pleats are a little hard. This pattern also includes a jumper for a small child.

Simplicity #8164 (Sailor dress)
Cute sailor type dress. I made two, but brought the inserts in the dress higher – to the collarbone level. It appears this pattern is out of print. Ebay would be a place to look for it.

McCalls #2910 (jumper)
Simple jumper – pleats at the waist. It says it’s a “2 hour jumper”, but I know it took me longer than that ?!

Simplicity #7987 (jumper)
Cute! Has a zipper. It appears this pattern is out of print. Ebay would be a place to look for it.

Girls:
McCalls # 8404 (8 different dresses)
Simple dress, but cute!

Simplicity #7283 (jumper or dress)
Again cute, but can be as easy or as hard as you want!

McCalls #4000 (overall jumper)
The overall jumper listed is about the knee, but I just lengthened it to the ankles and it came out very cute. It was pretty simple to make and my little sister loves her denim overall jumper!
