There is a Conspiracy Afoot!
I have come to the conclusion that there is a conspiracy between the modest t-shirt businesses, and the fashion industry. The modest t-shirt businesses must give a percentage of their earnings to the designers so that the designers will continue to make clothes that are immodest and impossible to wear alone if you are a temple-endowed LDS woman.
Every time I go clothes shopping, I spend a good deal of time trying to find a shirt that I can wear alone (strange concept, I know), or some pants that don’t show six inches of my panties when I bend over. I am getting so tired of it.
Low-waisted pants DO NOT look good on a woman who has a baby pouch, regardless of how thin she is. The baby pouch is located in just the right place so that it bulges out and over the pant line that sits just below the waist. It looks disgusting. Add to that a tight t-shirt, with a snug shirt over that, and it is not a pretty sight. And you can’t tuck in the shirts…they are cut too short in length. Plus, same problem as mentioned above.
If a shirt is not cut too low, then it is cut too wide at the neck, and if not, then the underarm area is cut too low. Any of these situations require a t-shirt underneath, which are “all” round-neck, by the way. Why can’t anyone create an under-t that is v-necked? Some shirts DO NOT look good with a round-neck t-shirt underneath. The cut of “many” shirts require a v-neck, or a “straight” neck. And I’m not talking about camis either. If you have a low-cut underarm area, a cami won’t work.
Would somebody out there start designing modest clothes again? And not just t-shirts? I am tired of wearing t-shirts! The cycle has past! It has been years! Hey, why not the modest t-shirt businesses? Why can’t they venture out into other modest apparel? I think that they would double their sales because I have a sneaking suspicion that every one is SICK OF IT!
I so agree!
We call it the “Muffin top” look! The muffin being the flabby skin hanging over the low rise jeans.
I hear ya sister-agree with the frustration of trying to by a shirt to wear alone, especially in the summer. Even some t-shirts modest enough are so thin you need to layer anyway. I am on the hunt. I have found myself buying more loose fitting, flowing tops, but still needing a layer shirt underneath. I have found the most luck with layersclothing.com
As far as the muffin top goes…exercise or surgery I guess.
For now, get ready for 3 layers of clothing for the summer, be thankful you live in a climate a little less humid than others (like mine).
so design some. this is your destiny.
Amen! Apparently “muffin top” has landed in the dictionary…isn’t that nice? Have you noticed that they are also making most jeans with lycra in them? Just an interesting tidbit I’ve noticed - I’m not complaining about that, it is definitely an advantage for some of us.
You go girl! I am totally in agreement! I am sick of dressing like I am 14 because I have no other choice! Where are the classy modest clothes? They have all gone out of style along with RSVPing, sending “Thank You’s” and opening doors for others. Times have changed, but should we all be punished for it?
