Mamas raising modest daughters...need your opinion *EDIT*

I think it's adorable! But if your worried about it, sew a little peice of material or lace there, to look like theres a tank top under it or something.

I'm all for modesty.  And if I ever have a daughter, I will see that she never leaves the door dressed in anything skimpy.  That being said, as a baby, I think this dress is completely fine.  In fact, should I have daughter, when she is a baby I will let her walk around in only a diaper if it's hot, and only shorts if she's a toddler (Again, if it's hot).  They're kids.  They don't sexualize each other.  Her "boobies" at that age look just like the little boy's next to her.  It's only adults that do it, and if an adult is sick enough to see a child in a sexual way, you could dress her in a snowsuit and it would make no difference.  I also don't see lace as something only adults - there are PLENTY of adorable dresses and outfits for little girls with lace.  Does that make them any less modest? 

That being said, if you're still uncomfortable with the dress, put a onesie underneath it with some long pants. 

She is just so cute! I would put a onesie underneath it that's what I do it her tops are low or a little loose. My baby is 5 mo but I still don't like little nipples showing in public lol and my husband wouldn't let her leave the house like that hahaha poor girl

Oh I am all for being comfortable at home. She wears just a dipe and shirt and my boys run around naked at home, lol. I was asking more for going out in public :)

Sounds like your already convicted and if that it so, obey. There are a lot of option for undergarment, incl a white Tee/ribbed. What will you tell her about this outfit when she looks at as she grows up? Your conviction is the most "radar" the LORD has placed in mommas for such a time as this. Good for you! And, God bless you.

I have many teen nephews and in my experience, it's the ones who cover up completely that are the "hoes"
Looks are very deceiving and usually in the eye of the beholder.
IMO, it's never good to judge a book by its cover...

I joke with my son (who is only 5mo old) that when he dates there will be "no hoes in mamas house". If they're dressed inappropriately, they won't get through the front door!



That said (I don't have a daughter) I think the dress is adorable!! I hope that ds meets a modest girl when he gets older :)

...powerful and important radar...

Same here..... Hope she's confident enough to nurse her baby in public someday :-/

Lol, I thought I was raising a modest daughter, but seeing you questing this makes me reconsider. I wouldn't have thought twice about this one.

I totally agree when you want to instill modesty, start while they are young. and op if you dont feel comfortable with ur dd wearing it without cover, you can put light jacket or something.i am conservative with my dd as well.sorry for those who say were sexualizing the kid..no logic.. at all.which is more sexualizing, dressing kids with age appropriate clothes, showing no skin otjen than necessary or putting adult type clothes baring their midriffs or chest... uh think people...

I'm all for raising modest girls..... HOWEVER, there is one problem in my eyes. These are the same women SO EXTREMELY uncomfortable with their bodies that they feel the need to nurse their babies in disgusting bathrooms instead of feeling confident that breasts are just milk bags. Nothing more. My daughter sees breasts as a way to feed babies, not sexual objects. (she's almost 9 btw)
This is why America thinks BFing in public is "wrong" (because too many people are sexualizing breasts).
If you don't want perverts looking at your daughter, you probably shouldn't leave the house because it's not what the child wears that is the problem. It's the pervert!! They will look whether your child is in a sundress or a ski suit. Doesn't matter. Just my opinion.....
Don't get me wrong though, my dd is not allowed to wear triangle bikinis, mini skirts or short shorts but we live in CA so I do let her wear tank tops and sundresses as I myself wear them a lot too.
