Edith Head said it best, "Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady." Yes!! I fully agree that you can dress modestly, still look attractive, and put together! Dressing modestly does not look like you are look like you are a floating trash bag! Thank you for addressing this since I have heard some people think that dressing modestly means you look boring! So, not the truth! Great video, Abby!
To add to this, if you really want to understand your body and know what looks good on you, I highly recommend checking out the Kibbe body types. As a soft natural, I figured out why I look boxy in some clothes and stylish in others. It really helps! Thanks for the video, Abby!
This sounds good. I have been reading a 'Trinny and Susannah ' book from the UK about body types. Very helpful, like when Abby talks about skirt length in this video
I’ve noticed a mi-calf skirt with a cute white sneaker has become a really common look! It’s a really great “flat” shoe choice that doesn’t look dated or frumpy
I’m an atheist, but for myself, I appreciate modest dress and no tattoos, ring piercing, etc. for women. Obviously, this has nothing to do with religion (I have none), but solely for sartorial and aesthetic reasons: modest dress for women generally looks tasteful. Perhaps this is why I like Orthodox Jewish women; many of them are beautiful and elegant, almost like queens.
@@pip5284 Well, it's attributed to her. IDK if she actually said it or not. But regardless of who said it or if she followed it, it's a great rule to live by.
She would never say that. Not only would it be hypocritical, she also was having none of the mysoginistic nonsense. People love attributing made-up quotes to her like it validates them. It takes less than a minute googling this stuff before putting words in a dead woman's mouth.
I’ve heard that the skirt to heel length rule came from French fashion? When buying I’d be more concerned about whether the fabric looks worn out because it might not be as durable or clean looking after it’s washed.
I was APPAULED to see the horrid and disrespectful comments and videos put all over the internet about you, Abigail. In fact, the whole horrible mess made me cry. I am so sorry. You are beautiful and an incredible person. Thank you for being a spokesperson for the innocent and voiceless. Also, I am a singer and voice teacher w a Masters in voice - YOU ARE SO TALENTED o SINGER!!!! I could watch and listen to you sing all day. I hope to be able to talk with/ meet you one day. You are a modern-day female heroine for our daughters to look up to. Thank you for that!!!
I like dressing modestly, but I think we have very different definitions of modesty. Those pictures you showed in the beginning (around 1:50) look like normal outfits and are quite modest. I don’t really believe in showing your figure like that so I guess maybe that’s why
I think she meant yes, it covers the figure but it doesnt compliment the figure. So shes saying it is technically conservative in a utilitarian sense, but does not serve beauty or make you look womanly.
Thanks you for addressing this the modesty make me feel you have to look frumpy and ugly I don’t wanna be modest though thank you I like the way I dress
I am kind of scarred by frumpy (usually jean) church skirts, lol. So I have trouble wearing skirts, even though I do really think they look more feminine than pants.
Her audience is mainly women but I think men are modest most of the day, at least men that work. I rarely see men showing a lot of skin or wearing unbuttoned low cut shirts or showing their thighs. Modesty is for everyone. On an extra note, women are normally not lusting over a man wearing short shorts.
💯💯💯 I LOVE wearing heels for special occasions and recently heard someone say it can come across as immodest if they're too high... what do you think, Abby?
It can definitely depend on the heel, but not so much the height! Some really strappy heels can cross over into BDSM-looking, and that's not great. But the height of the heel isn't the marker of modesty!
She’d be so cute if it was satire. Religious fundamentalists are so cringy. Thankful that people like YOU and your BROTHER are helping to make the west less religious by the day😂🙏🏾

Yes never look boring and Dowdy
@@Brendaglam24, "Yes, never look boring and dowdy." There, I autocorrected for you! You're welcome! 🙂
Thank you! I struggle with this and it's difficult to find great outfits that are nice but not frumpy...or too revealing.
Pinterest is honestly great for me getting ideas for modest clothing

I would LOVE if you would share links to clothes. It is so difficult to find modest tops and dresses.
I want to get your thoughts on hijabi modesty! They do it so beautifully and I wanted to get your thoughts!
I always love these! Super helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Great principles and explanations! Personally I'm too tall for heels but can't afford to let that limit my skirt lengths.
You're only too tall for heels if you believe you're too tall for heels! 😂

Nice to know I can still dabble in trends while staying classic.
Definitely!

NOT from Marilyn Monroe! And she also definitely did not follow this principle!

This is slut-shaming and stupid
@@jimbojackson4045 It definitely wasn’t said by her lmao it would be pretty ironic if it was.

I agree with your point about flats, sadly I'm taller than most man as it is and don't really have that option, so I have to make do without it🙃
I wish my homeschooling community had this video when I was a teen 😂 no for real these were great tips! Thanks for sharing!

There's nothing wrong with wearing clothes from different decades, nothing at all.
I’ve gotten stuck in a rut of wearing jeans and hoodies and I’m so sick of it! Thank you for this video!

Abby we need a closet haul/try on so we can see outfits you love!
I always wondered how do you think men should dress modestly?
Her audience is mainly women but I think men are modest most of the day, at least men that work. I rarely see men showing a lot of skin or wearing unbuttoned low cut shirts or
showing their thighs. Modesty is for everyone. On an extra note, women are normally not lusting over a man wearing short shorts.

@@ClassicallyAbby That makes sense! Thank you so so much!!! 👠❤❤❤
This helped me so much ❤
It’s not modest to seem like your trying to be modest. I agree!!!
What current trends do you enjoy for fall and winter?
Girl you are wild for this one 😂
Classically Abby I'm tripping balls please give me some visuals !!!
I live in Utah and see a lot of unfashionable modesty
Loved this!💜
She’d be so cute if it was satire. Religious fundamentalists are so cringy.
Thankful that people like YOU and your BROTHER are helping to make the west less religious by the day😂🙏🏾
Why disparage someone merely for sharing their thoughts on styling modest dress?
@@anne.ominous read it again 😂
@@Sapioso I did.
@Fax with Grizz you’re talking about this woman and her brother right 😂🤣
Calling out bigots doesn’t make me a bigot it makes me decent and tolerant.
Backwards thinking goofball 😂
I swear the happiness I feel when @ *LVGUCI* uploads a video is beyond!!!!
Will you do a review of season 2 of My unorthodox Life?..that show is a mess.
You look just like your brother.
Your time is ticking. Better call mossad
