You’re so welcome, Savannah. Thankyou for sharing with us about yourself. Your modesty story is very interesting and encouraging! :-)
BTW, I got a swimsuit several years ago from Simply Modest (then called Swimwear Solutions.) and really liked it.

I like what you said about “situational modesty.” Way to go! :-)

Blessings,
Leah Kathryn

Hey Carrie…
I would agree with Monkeygirl… meanttobemodest.com is really a very nice company, run by homeschooling Christians and Mrs. Clark’s work is wonderful! My mom and I have gotten our suits from her and I really like mine. (and practically everyone is giving me compliments about it!) :-)

blessings,
Leah Kathryn

Wonderful article! I love to read about historical fashions, and of course swimwear would catch my eye around this time of year ;) It is consistantly in the upper 90s and 100s where I live from June to October, so swimming is something my family and friends do a lot of. I always used to wear a modern one-piece or fully-covering (in modern terms) tankini. As I made the switch to more fully pursue modesty about a year ago, I realized that the term “situational modesty” really shouldn’t exist, most especially talking about swimsuits. If the tankini I was wearing to the pool was made out of cotton, would I be embarrassed to wear it around town? I thought about the hypocrisy of wearing high-necked tops and knee-length or longer skirts all day, then changing into a suit that showed my entire leg, and the messages that was sending to other people. So I have been on the lookout for actual modest swimwear since then. I’ve had my eye on a Simply Modest swimsuit for about two years now, but I was always afraid of what my family and friends would say if I got one (not to mention the expense!). I recently stumbled upon a website, called comstox.com and they have a modest swimwear tab, which is where I took the plunge and just ordered a swimsuit! I look forward to receiving it soon, especially since I will nanny for a family with three little boys this summer and I want to set the best example I can around them. I have a fractured spine, too, and must do water exercises to alleviate the pain and build strength, so my trips to the indoor pool will resume with much more frequency now that I will feel properly covered =) Thanks again for such an informative, interesting and thoughtful article.

I don’t have a particular reason: a few things, really. I’m a fair-skinned red head, so I’d just burn to a crisp and then be pale anyway, so I just wear hats and sun lotion; why bother trying to tan when I can’t? And on another note, I’m a historical reenactor for the 16th century, and pale skin was fashionable! I do, of course, make sure to get my sun and Vitamin D (my reenactments keep me living outdoors Fridays through Sunday during the summer anyway!).
And besides all that, I’d just look weird tan!

I’m sorry to hear your Mom’s had to deal with skin cancer. That must have been very difficult. :(
