If you choose to wear shirts that show off your boobs, you will attract boys. To be more specific, you will attract the kind of boys that like to look down girls’ shirts. If you want to date a guy who likes to look at other girls’ boobs and chase skirts, then great job; keep it up. If you don’t want to date a guy who ogles at the breasts of other women, then maybe you should stop offering your own breasts up for the ogling. All attention is not equal. You think you want attention, but you don’t. You want respect. All attention is not equal. {Kate Elizabeth Conner}
Many places that you go these days, you see immodestly dressed women. I love what Beth Moore teaches. Immodest women are mean women. They like to turn other women's husbands on. That's mean. Remember that the next time you desire to dress immodestly.
As Christian women, our desire in life should be to honor Christ in all that we do and say. Pleasing Him should be our heart's desire. He commands women to be modest. Work on making yourself beautiful on the inside. Work on being loving, warm, and friendly. Be generous, helpful, and forgiving. Love Jesus and serve others.
If you want to attract a godly man, develop these qualities in you. These come from the fruit of the Spirit that lives inside of you. Did you know that when you dress immodestly, you blaspheme the Word of God? That means you speak badly of God's Word. Don't you want to speak wonderfully of Him and His Word? Dress modestly.
Yes, there are immodestly dressed women many places. You, young men, can avoid a lot of these places and you can learn to bounce your eyes. The Bible admonishes us to flee sexual immorality, so flee it. Don't fool around with it. You will get burned if you do and God knows what He is talking about.
So women, let your smile and joyful spirit attract others to you. Let them see Jesus so brightly inside of you that they will be drawn to Him. Men want to marry joyful and happy women...
Also I desire that women should adorn themselves modestly and appropriately and sensibly in seemly apparel, not with elaborate hair arrangement or gold or pearls or expensive clothing, but by doing good deeds...
I Timothy 2:9,10
Let it be the hidden woman of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
I Peter 3:4
Let it be the hidden woman of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Every time I see a Christian girl pick a strapless wedding dress and the same for her bridesmaids, I am just *so* disappointed. I say strapless, since that is the most popular right now, but the same goes for low cut ones too. Does anyone know, why do Christian girls think this is okay???!!!!
Then there's the clueless women who wear high enough shirts when they are upright, but they are always bending way over (usually with kids) and showing everyone *everything*!! Try it out at home in front of the mirror - bend way over at the waist with your arms hanging down in front of you like you're reaching for something on the floor. Look in the mirror and you'll see what you'll be exposing to other people. There are two easy solutions - instead of bend over, lower yourself straight down by bending your knees into a crouch, or use one hand to hold your shirt from gaping open.

So wrong. There's a huge difference between dressing attractively and dressing to attract. One of my favorite passages about women's beauty and modesty is from 1 Peter 3 where Peter admonishes women to not let their beauty be their outward adornment but their gentle and quiet spirit. I love that he doesn't say that hair adornments, jewelry and clothes are WRONG, it's just that what we wear should be an expression of, and flow from, and gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. Modesty is really a heart attitude of submission before Christ. Your heart will have to change before your clothes ever will.
My husband loves that I can dress attractively and modestly, and I enjoy being fashionable yet honoring to Christ, my husband and others at the same time. :)

I love what Beth says too. She's right. If you're broadcasting your body you must be looking for attention. And men that look are filling that need. Which in my opinion, is mean!

I recently saw something that said, " Dress how you want other women to dress around your husband!" Modesty is so very important!

"So women, let your smile and joyful spirit attract others to you. Let them see Jesus so brightly inside of you that they will be drawn to Him. Men want to marry joyful and happy women..."
wearing modest clothes but then attracting men with your smile and spirit is a problem, also. maybe even a bigger problem. would you rather your husband was lusting after a dime-a-dozen body or falling in love with someone's spirit? remember, too, that religious men will be attracted to religious women. vying for the attention of a man, whether he is thinking 'beautiful body' or 'beautiful spirit' is wrong, period.

I teach a SS class, and my girls always complain that there aren't cute modest clothes. I ask them if they think I dress cute, and they all thought so. I dress very modestly. I remind them that we aren't to be a stumbling block, and girls who dress in that way and desire that kind of attention aren't the kind of *ladies* that guys want to bring home to mom.
I wear lots of layers, cardigans, scarves, and camisoles. There is nothing more adorable to me than a flowy, cotton sun dress, cardigan, and fun accessories!
I feel very uncomfortable when I feel as if other men are "checking me out."

Great post. Loved how Beth Moore put it- they are mean women.
