				Letters to the Editor "You're Not Wearing That...!" I really enjoyed the "You're Not Wearing That!" article. As the mother of a teenage son in the Church, I can assure you it DOES affect boys, even in the Church, when girls dress provocatively, and it's hard for them not to "look." It is NOT, however, "impossible" to find modest clothing. Just type "modest clothing" into a Google search and you'd be surprised at what comes up: Over 40 pages of sites. Some are blogs, some petitions, but most are clothing or sewing pattern sites. Let's not forget also that part of Proverbs 31 includes sewing! Thanks again for the great article. Warm regards, -- Mom/grandma in Wisconsin Hi, as a grandmother and now great-grandmother of a preteen girl, I really lament the latest "fashions" for girls. I would probably be labeled an antique prude when I say far too many women as well as young girls dress more like hookers than respectable ladies. But that's just me. My son and his wife and I have tried as Christian parents to give the right advice to their two lovely girls about how to dress, which happily has been well taken. However, we have tried to add one more thing to think about as young girls who are trying to live a Christian life. We have told them that they not only need to dress modestly for their own sake, but for the young men as well. We have explained to them that given how quickly the male's thoughts go to sexual ones, a girl has a certain responsibility toward the boys not to dress in a way that may entice them to sinful thoughts and endanger their Christian walk. Today's fashions are dangerous to both boys and girls and we should be looking at the possible consequences for them all.
