Red Dress

I have been modest dress hunting and I have got to say, it is hard to find one in my budget. Like really hard. Most dresses from the usual Forever 21 and HM are usually short on me (I am 5’10″)..  or they are long enough but they are tank top or whatever.. (some of you might know what I mean) so I splurged and bought a quality, modest dress. (Before I decided to be a gypsy ;) )
And so it is.
(sorry for the lack of a good background… haha it was cold and I wanted to get these pictures over with so we didn’t go far (aka.. by the front door))
 dress: Nordstrom / heels: asos
Other quality, modest dresses I love:

  7. There’s hope! I’m five feet 8 on a good day (so I know it can be awful finding modest clothing), I must have my dresses and skirts fall below my knees/cover my knees when I sit, my sleeves must be 3/4 or longer, and I don’t show any cleavage.

    But I’ve found hope on several websites:
    Check out
    DownEast Basics
    Shabby Apple
    eShakti
    Bettie Page Clothing
    Stop Staring
    Victoria’s Secret (yes! Crazy!)

    Good luck!

  8. I’ve noticed you said you don’t like to wear bikinis and that you and your husband didn’t move in together til after your wedding. You go girl! Way to stand your ground in a world that tries to look down on such decisions.

  9. I feel you. Completely. I think the key words are… modest and stylish. We are extremely limited with modest clothing, but to find something that is modest AND stylish is almost like needle in a hay-stack-impossible. But when you do find one, I say splurge, splurege, splurge!

    For the record, I think your DVF dress is absolutely stunning. Totally timeless, too.

  14. This is so funny! I was just at the mall with my parents in D.C. this past holiday and I said the exact same thing! I’m 5’9 and it’s so hard to find a cute, sophisticated, (Audrey Hepburn’ish), by the knee dress for a good price! haha us tall girls have to suffer sheesh :)
