Questions, answered
How do you dress modestly?
Start with the coverage you like: long sleeves, a higher neckline and a hem that falls below the knee. Where a piece is more open, such as a short sleeve or a bare shoulder, wear a fine knit underneath or a long coat over it.
How do you make a dress more modest?
Add a long-sleeve base layer under it and a long cardigan or coat over it. A short dress works over trousers or a long skirt, and a strapless or sleeveless dress takes a fine knit underneath.
