This document provides advice to young ladies on dressing modestly. It encourages focusing on inner beauty rather than outward appearances or expensive clothing. Several bible verses are cited that encourage modest dress and good deeds over braided hair, gold, or expensive clothes. Women are urged to dress in a way that does not provoke lustful thoughts in men but instead highlights their inherent worth as created by God.

1. A
Simple
Note
to
Young
Ladies

2. “If your clothing is a
frame for your face,
from which the
glory of Christ
springs ... God is
honored.
If your clothing is a
frame for your body,
it is sensual and
God hates it”
-Charo Washer

3. “You do not need
expensive things
to show your worth.”

4. “Do not look at the
standards being set by
media.”
“You are beautifully
created by God.”

5. “You do not have to starve
yourself just to be a model.”
“You are a model student.”

6. “Stay away from
actions, words,
gestures and outfit
that smells like
lust from afar.”

7. “Stay away from
clothing that makes
a man look at
your body.”
“You are valuable.”

8. “Hide yourself, my
child. You are
beautiful.”

9. “Never show your legs or any
intimate part of your body to attract
the attention of men. You are
precious in the sight of God. Keep it
only for your husband to see.”

10. “Don’t make your
brother sin by the way you dress.”

11. “Do not
show your
cleavage,
baby. This is
what the
world tells
you to do.
Don’t be one
of them.

12. “Do not
put on
excessive
make-up or
spend too
much on
things to add
color on your
face.”

13. So they
can treat
you, young
girls
with
absolute
purity…
Remember:
Simple is
more

14. I also want women to dress modestly, with
decency and propriety, not with braided hair
or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but
with good deeds, appropriate for women
who profess to worship God. (NIV, 1Timothy 2:9-10)

15. For this is the way the holy women
of the past who put their hope in
God used to make themselves
beautiful.
(NIV, 1 Peter 3:2-5)

16. Instead, it
should be that
of your inner
self, the
unfading beauty
of a gentle and
quiet spirit,
which is of great
worth in God's
sight.
(NIV, 1 Peter 3:2-5)
