Celebrating Modesty

"You would not believe the celebration that took place when we saw there was a store in Georgia that had modest dresses."

That is what a mom said to me recently after she and her daughter came to The Yellow Rose and bought a modest bridal gown. I have received very similar comments from numerous other customers. They are all happy and delighted that there is a store where young women can buy a modest formal or bridal gown. I always get the following question:

"Do you know how hard it is to find a modest gown?"

My answer is always the same:

"Yes, I know how difficult it is! This is why I opened The Yellow Rose."

I am so pleased that there are so many young women who want to dress modestly. It is my hope that women everywhere, not simply the young ones, will find modesty important.

Along those lines, I was thrilled when I learned of the new Mrs. Texas International, Bonnie Hubert. Mrs. Hubert was the only contestant to wear a gown with sleeves. Modesty was a priority to her and she was not willing to compromise her standards for a beauty pageant. She was quoted as saying, "I feel like it turned out great because I could feel beautiful and comfortable in what I selected. You have to put in a little effort, but it is worth it because then your beauty can shine through."

I'm happy there are women like Bonnie Hubert out there who are a wonderful example of womanhood and modesty.
