    It was some time ago, but I seem to recall giving her permission to wear these on the understanding that she kept them clean so we could return them the next day.

    Job 22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

    My wife, on the happiest day of her life.

    Plain and simple.

    Nice bottom! However, the lace on the bodice draws undue attention to your chest, the ribbon, to your womb, and the sleeves to your arms. Remember, women are to be modest. "In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;" 1 Timothy 2:9. Also, dear, modesty is not in our actual dress, but in behavior "but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness." 1 Timothy 2:10. We should avoid drawing attention to ourselves, and even less our bodies, which can lead men to sin. "Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way." Romans 14:13

    Since 7 is God's favorite number, I'm attaching 7 modest wedding dresses we tell the ladies at the church to use as an inspiration. Note the long sleeves, good neckline, and modest decorations. The woman wearing the first dress was having a minor issue because the sleeves were falling off a little. My favorites are #2, 3, 4, 7
    I like the overall "multi-layer" look of #5, I like the general sleeve design of #3... and does #7 have pockets sewn into the dress? Very practical!

    I wore a dress like #7 on my wedding day.

    #7 Is absolutely breath taking! No frills to violate how we ought to dress, no skin showing and still fashionable!

    I do believe I am quite in love with that first dress! I was just under the impression it was being made for someone else on these forums?

    Once again, the sleeves, the sleeves! Or rather the lack of them.

    I very much like the dress that Esther linked to just up the page here and the idea of moving the buttons to the back is a good one. Having them at the front suggests making yourself available, if you know what I mean. (That model is a bit suspect, though. Did her parents mix iron with miry clay, perhaps, as Daniel 2:43 puts it?)

    I also like the first dress in Mrs Johnson's post here. Modest and yet becoming and the fabric can be re-used for pillowcases later.

    Pardon if this dress is offensive. I agree that the sleves are a bit short and I didn't even notice the pearls. I just thought it lovely and to be a good source of inspiration. Pardon anyone whom I may have offended. I am terribly sorry

    Perhaps something like this would be more fitting? Once again I am terribly sorry, I'm just attempting to gain some Godly imput on wedding dresses

    Latter Day Bride, who made this immodest garment, is based in Salt Lake City. Need I say more?

    It is no surprise that the - er - slight bulge below the high waist suggests that this marriage may be taking place about 6 months too late.

    What a lovely dress! I'm not sure if it would be appropriate, though. The sleeves are too short and it almost looks like there are pearls on them and on the flower. 1 Timothy 2:9-10 says that pearls are a big no-no.
