Awkward Situations

We introduced you to new a new voice on LYWB.com, Bethany Baird, last month. Many of you responded to her post about the motivation behind our summer wardrobes. Here's a second post from Bethany on pursuing modesty even when it's awkward.

bridesmaidsIt's tough and sometimes a little awkward saving my body for one man's eyes alone. In fact, I had to face a tough situation recently when I was asked to be in a friend's wedding. She is a longtime childhood friend who recently got engaged. I was so excited for my friend. She asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding! How exciting was that? There was only one problem; her bridesmaids' dresses were strapless.

As my friend and I sat there looking at the pictures of the dresses online, my face started to heat up and my palms started to get sweaty. I thought to myself, What am I going to say? I knew I couldn't wear a strapless dress, and I knew she knew that I never had before. I didn't know if she thought just because it was a wedding I could compromise or if I was going to have to explain it. Thankfully at the very end she asked me if I would be willing to wear a strapless dress. I very thoughtfully explained to her I wouldn't, but that I could add sleeves/straps to the dress in a very professional and non-distracting way. She said that would work great!

I know it's going to be a little awkward being the only one with straps sewn onto my dress in the wedding, but I can't compromise my standards for the sake of a bridesmaid's dress. If worse came to worst and the bride and I couldn't come to an agreement about the dress, I would have had to step out as a bridesmaid. No, I wouldn't have wanted to step out, but I wouldn't have wanted to compromise either.

I know as young Christian girls we have a lot to stand strong for. God has given us beautiful bodies to be preserved for one man's eyes alone. Even if it's hard and we come across challenging and awkward situations, let's keep our bodies covered up to honor the Lord and our future husbands.

What do you think you would have done if you were asked to be in someone's wedding and were asked to wear something you knew was immodest? Would you be willing to endure the awkward conversation and explain why you couldn't wear that particular dress? Would you have just worn it to avoid the controversy?

It's very important to set your standards on clothing now so that one day when you are faced with an awkward situation like I was, you won't compromise. I have committed to never wear a strapless dress, halter-top, string strap, etc. Now that I have that commitment with the Lord, it's not even an option for me. What commitments are you willing to make now so that you won't compromise later?

Ecclesiastes 5:4–5 says, "When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow. It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not pay."

When it comes to modesty, I want to encourage you to pray and then make a commitment to the Lord, knowing that He is very serious about the commitments you make to Him.

    Bethany -

    I found your guest blog column to be wonderfully reassuring. We have this same standard in our household, yet I am SHOCKED by the number of Christian girls who get married and have their bridesmaids wearing dresses that I'd never let our daughter out of the house in. This is probably another one of those 'gray areas' in the ongoing modesty debate, but it's certainly been on my mind a lot this summer during wedding season. Something else that I found interesting and rather disappointing was a missions fundraising project that a young Christian woman had taken on. This was an independent project, and the entire website was devoted to "fashion shoot" style photos (very well done) of her in certain clothing. I'm not going to be much more specific than that, but I will say that as a mom, I immediately thought, "Oh, this is really going to tempt some of our guys" and "Why did she have to personally model the clothing...why couldn't she have just put it on a dress frame?" Frankly, there were outfits in THAT lineup that I also would never encourage our daughter to wear. This issue of modesty is very 'delicate', and I appreciate Dannah Gresh's book "The DELICATE Power of Modesty". Thank you for being willing to share your thoughts and convictions with other young women, and moms who are trying to encourage their daughters!

    I once wore short shorts when I went to church, and my guy churchmate rebuked me gently, saying "You're shorts are way too short!" :O I realized that I made him struggle with his eyes :( And I looked back at the times when I wear immodest apparel to school, party, etc., even to church activities :O And I'm really ashamed that I did that. God convicted me of immodesty I've done. Now I layer modest and immodest pieces of clothing so that they create an overall modest yet trendy apparel :D

    Bethany, this is great! I'm really encouraged by this post because I had a similar experience last year when I was in my best friend's wedding. The dresses she picked were on the more modest side because they did have straps, however the had a large hole in the fabric right above the chest that would've been quite revealing. My mom helped me sew it up most of the way and it worked wonderfully. You couldn't tell tell that the dress had been altered and I still felt comfortable wearing it. Thanks for this encouraging post! It shows me that I'm not the only one out there with issues like this. :)

    on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 10:43 am
    Wow, Bethany. You are such a great role model. I seriously got to thinking. Would I give up being a bridesmaid for the dress I would have to wear? It would be hard, but I know I would have to do it.

    Me and my mom have been looking at people's wedding dresses and we like rate them or whatever. Like, 'oh this one is very cute, but it's way to low' or 'this one needs more coverage on the shoulders' there have been a few that have had sleeves and were not low, and they were actually very gorgeous!! The problem is that it is probably really hard to find modest & gorgeous wedding dresses.

    And, Bethany, I bet that you will be really honored by being the only one with straps. Guys are going to be like, wow, that girl is really modest, she really cares about being modest. You are making a stand for modesty, and you will be rewarded. God bless you.

    I have been careful with what I wear all my life, but recently its been hard to pick out modest clothes. Jean shrts are the hardest to find at a decent length. Sometimes when I wear shorts, that i know are too short, i feel guilty, but I can't find decent lenght jeans anymore. I try to argue myself that "just for a day every week", but I know thats wrong. Please pray for me, so that I don't keep doing that.

    Hi Bethany -
    Wow. That is really impressive that you would stick so firmly to your convictions, even in a tough spot! I really admire that. I want to get to the place where I am like that - and not just in the area of modesty, but in all things! I want every decision I make, everything I do, and everything I DON'T do to be for Jesus. =)
    Yeah, those bridesmaid dresses! I have three sisters, and we all recently watched some TV show about bridesmaids-to-be going with the future bride to pick out bridesmaid dresses. There was plenty of drama, but that's aside from the point.
    Some of the dresses - *gulp*. Not modest. I never would have been able to feel comfortable in some of those outside of a dressing room.
    When the show was over, my sisters and I made each other promise that we would pick modest bridesmaid dresses for our weddings! "They have to have straps," we agreed. "No cleavage showing. And they HAVE to be long enough to come past our knees!"
    (That's the part that actually made me the most uncomfortable. Some of the dresses were short, short, short. Lord help those bridesmaids if a stiff breeze came up!)
    Thanks for the great post!

    on modesty.
    on Wednesday, August 10, 2011 at 1:01 pm
    I always had issues with the gray areas of modesty. Some things were definite "do not"s, but there are other things where I wonder if I'm just being legalistic.

    Hearing your commitment to purity with not wearing ANYTHING that is a compromise to your testimony is a blessing to hear. I am not against wearing strapless dresses for formal events, but this post made me think of the other times where I might wear something that's too revealing.

    I know God will honor our obedience in the end. Thanks for your encouragement and statement of truth Bethany!

    Kudos to you for standing up for what is right, i am happy that you were able to work out the situation and still be in the wedding while being modestly dressed. I am going to b n a friend's wedding in Oct. and I am so thankful she is commited to modesty. We were able to get dresses with wider straps (they were a bit low-cut but we are going to sew them all up a bit). I am so thankful for my strong Christian friend.

    I totally agree! I am so amazed at the number of girls that choose to compromise their modesty 'for the sake of elegance"-- on their wedding day!

    It's a true encouragement to see how you didn't cave in.

    The one thing that I've been thinking about recently is volleyball shorts. (I play volleyball.) I don't wear the super-short super-tight shorts, but then again, my shorts aren't to my knees. Recently I've been thinking about it some more and wondering if it's okay to wear shorts that are shorter than what I'd normally wear. I'm doing it for athletic purposes, and besides, I'd look out of place if I came to a game wearing knee-length shorts. So it's hard for me to tell if I'm compromising to fit in, or doing the logical thing in this situation.

    About strapless dresses - I think it would be okay to wear one for a wedding. If it had a modest neckline, I don't think it's a big problem if it doesn't have straps. But if you'd already made a commitment, I think it would be wrong to wear something that you had pledged not to wear.

    Just my opinion! I hope I haven't offended anyone.

    When I dress, I just make sure my cleavage is covered and my dress comes down to the lower half of my thigh. I don't think guys are going to be tempted if they see my shoulders or my knees. I could be wrong- who knows? Maybe I'll be convicted of that sometime in the future. Right now, my standard is to make sure that my intimate parts are covered and that my clothes aren't too tight.

    Thank you for writing this! Modesty is very important for me. I have worn skirts since my mother became a christian(I was 6), and sometimes its been hard because I didn't like feeling different. Now that I am 19 I appreciate my mother choosing to dress me modestly.

    in the summer i like wearing cloths that some people might say are "showing to much". i've just got a strapless dress and wore it to church...when i got there most of the boys almost stoped breathing! I could see when that would be a problem...but like some girls im very very short for my age..so i always wear short shorts and tiny tank tops...i don't see whats wrong with it. Sometimes i like 2 get guys to look at me and have there eyes poping out of their heads!! God hasn't given me any ideas why any of this is wrong...what do you guys think!?

    You asked what I think!! I 'd just like to say that, Yes we all enjoy getting attention from guys! But I guess what probably matters most is, Is what I am wearing causing the guys in my life to stumble and lust after females? So I would say dressing modestly shows our freinds and the guys around us that we are trying to help them have a pure mind. (Not causing them to stumble!) And dressing modestly helps ourselves and others not to have sexual desires or lusts! Just a thought to consider! :)

    A few years ago, I would have been all for wearing the strapless dress. But the last few years God has really changed my heart. I would go with asking to wear a modest dress or not be in the wedding party at all :)

    I understand the feeling of happiness when a guy looks at you like that, but I have come to realize that when they are looking at you that way it is because they have thought more deeply into what are under your garmets.
    Some girls still dont care. and thats of your own thoughts.
    but ive also found out that when guys see you that way they are less likely to like you in any way other than sexualy.
    Instead of liking you for you.
    im just speaking from experience...
    hope that helps!!

    Re: Heather Sv.
    on Thursday, August 11, 2011 at 10:17 am
    I completely agree.

    The main modesty issues are cleavage, tightness, and lots of leg.

    So a strapless dress by definition doesn't seem to be necessarily immodest. But it does seem like it would generally be more prone to immodesty. I don't know what I'll do when my wedding comes around.

    You probably also have to try things on to see how the fit your body. Something that looks really cute and beautiful on one girl, might look really sexy on another.

    I know what you mean. It is fun to get attention. :) What I have to remind myself is - would I want my husband to struggle because his eyes want to pop out because someone else dressed like that? How would I feel if his breathing changed around another girl? Men can't help being stimulated by female beauty and how would I feel if I knew she was doing it on purpose? What if he had to leave the room to avoid the stimulation?

    I know how you feel girl! I'm short too & constantly struggle with finding shorts that are modest and an appropriate length. I just want to tell you that I am praying for you and that you would be able to find some shorts at a modest length. I know that I have been able to find some at J. CREW as well as GAP. I felt very convicted by this post and have decided to trash some of my clothing that just wasn't appropriate according to my standards. I really admire you, Bethany! And hopefully I can be a bridesmaid like you.

    Abby: Just want you to know that the type of guy you want is not someone who looks at you for your body, but your heart of devotion to the Lord & inward beauty. A lot of times I find modesty not being about the clothes I wear but the feelings of my heart. If I am in a position where I WANT to dress inappropriately I have to ask myself why... and the reason is normally to bring glory & attention to me when it should be going to my Heavenly Father. I hope that helps..... much love!

    Here's what guys think

    This site called the rebelution had guys take a survey of what they think is modest for girls to wear. Heres the link:
    http://www.therebelution.com/modestysurvey/
    Nancy Leigh DeMoss helped endorse it. I recommend also reading the comments on the survey. You might want to read the 'survey overview' too. It tells you that the survey is a 'resource, not a list of rules.'
    It's really good-I highly recommend reading it!

    I'm not very good at putting things into words right away(hence the stupid Que I asked you). What I really wanted to say was this. I know how you feel, its nice when a guy looks at you,BUT! What kind of guy are you trying to attract? Back at my old church, there were two girls that were soo different in everything! The first girl,H, wasn't the prettiest. The other one,M, was pretty(in a artificial way) . H wore modest clothes (Necklines three fingers below the collarbone, long skirts, modest sleeves) and M wore short skirts, tank tops and tight clothes.
    In my opinion, H was the truly beautiful one. I admired her so much, she had a beautiful spirit and a real love for God. M was the pastor's daughter and she was a lover of the world. Both girls are married now. H has a wonderful man from the church, he also loved God and they were so sweet together. I want what they have someday, while M is married to a shallow guy that even before they were married they were touching each other in the wrong way( I was blushing in embarrassment for them!).
    what do YOU want?

    I have been in a Christian private school all of my life. I am just now going to be a freshman in the biggest public school in the city! As you can imagine, I have only been uniform shopping...real fun. This is my first year to be able to dress however I want. Before I go shopping, I pray that God would give me the discernment to pick modest, but of course, cute clothes. Just being able to communicate with God about my clothes is awesome. He is a man, so he knows men best. I am thankful that God has provided me with the wisdom to be a modest Christian woman.

    Modesty for your body type
    on Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 3:25 am
    I think some clothing can be immodest on some girls, and be totally innocent on others. I know for me halter tops are a no, even for swimsuits, because I have a bigger bust, but my sister looks perfectly fine in them and they are modest even when she bends over. A lot of choosing clothes depends on your body shape and how certain clothes fit your body.

    And before I buy anything and sit down in it(for dresses, skirts, and shorts), bend over(for everything), and jump up and down (if it appears to have wimpy straps), If something looks cute, but doesnt pass that test for modesty, I dont buy it!

    HI:)
    I play soccer and all of the girl were short shorts so Im the only one wearing knee length shorts (except when we play in an old school gym which is really hot and we ladies are the only ones there;)) I know they notice and have made severals remarks hinting that I should wear short shorts but I figure, guys are not gonna be thinking differently were Im playing soccer than they normally would. And in normal situations I only wear knee lengths or capris so whats the difference? And same as swim wear. Sure, Its not as free to swim in board shorts and a tshirt but I guess that's when "taking up the cross" comes in. Not to give you a sermon at all!!! Just wanted to let you know you will be the winner by doing what is right:)

    I have the same problem!! I have difficulty finding clothes that cover my chest. I usually wear a size medium dress or top, but none of my dresses cover my chest fully. And if I get a size large to cover my chest better, then it's too big on the rest of my body 0_o I think fall will be easier to dress modestly because we can buy whatever we want and just layer a scarf over top to cover our exposed boobage.

    Oh my gosh, I love wearing scarves!!! I wear them all the time, even sometimes in the summer with tank tops. And I totally know what you mean about trying to buy shirts that cover everything but also is flattering for your body. It's hard because right now it is fashionable to have a smaller bust and most tops/tanks are designed for that. I would just encourage you to not compromise when you get frustrated! You are defiently not alone when it comes to this issue!

    Thanks for taking a stand and encouraging others to do the same!

    Earlier this year I was in a similar situation. My friend was getting married and asked me to be a bridesmaid. The dresses she had made were much larger in the neck than I am accustomed to wearing and came quite a bit lower in the back than I was comfortable with. Another bridesmaid felt the same way so she had a different friend of hers add a piece of coordinating fabric in the neck. It actually looked very pretty and the bride was fine with it. I ended up wearing a sheer, dressy scarf around my neck--the bride was fine with that too. :)

    on Monday, August 15, 2011 at 7:41 pm
    God HAS indeed already given you instruction on why this is wrong…

    "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should defraud his brother--wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you." 1 Thes. 4:3-6

    Nancy DeMoss describes this behavior in Principles of Edifying Behavior:

    We are to be on guard against defrauding one another (1 Thessalonians 4:6). To defraud someone is to create expectations that cannot righteously be fulfilled. Women can defraud men with immodest dress, flirtatious behavior, or flattering words. Because it is so easy to defraud another morally, we have a responsibility to consider our behavior and put boundaries in place.

    The passage in Proverbs 7 speaks of the woman with an immoral heart. It says, “Many strong men have been slain by her”. As the passage above from 1 Thessalonians says, “the Lord will punish for all such sins.”

    I pray you will consider your ways. Especially consider your behavior in the place where God is honored and worshipped.

    It's Hard
    on Sunday, August 21, 2011 at 3:41 pm
    Sometimes in the world that we live in today, it's hard to find clothes that are appropriate that meet the standards. They're usually either too tight, too short, or too revealing of some parts of the body. I find it especially hard because I love florals. Unfortunately, most of the clothes that have floral patterns are dress or shirts. Some of the time the dresses are too short, but the shirts are usually fine. Lately I've really been having to ask myself if I should change my style. Or if I should just do something to cover it up a little bit more. As for the wedding issue, I have to say that I probably would wear the strapless dress. It honestly wouldn't be an issue for me, I think that there is an acception when there is a formal event and everyone has to match. No, I don't go around wearing strapless tops and if I do I make sure to put a top under it (it actually looks cute that way) but I think that there are acceptions.

    Ok so there is this guy in my youth group and its clear he likes me, I dont really like him that way. To me its harmless, only if the boy doesnt cross boundaries. Every time he passes me when I am sitting, he always puts his hand on my leg and brushes it lighly, or tries to hold my hand or makes hugs last a lil longer than they should. Its starting to make our friendship a lil akward, so I guess my question is, How do you tell the boy (in a nice way) to back off, but still making sure he gets the point? He really is a nice guy,I dont want to hurt his feelings or our friendship to stop, I just need to set some boundaires!!! I NEED HELP!!!

    Megan…Tell him just like you told us. Be up front, honest, but kind. Don’t say it where others can hear or in a situation where it would be embarrassing to him. Tell him you like him as a friend and want to keep his friendship, but the extra hugs and touches are uncomfortable. Remember Jesus taught us great truth in regard to relationships and speaking the truth in love…”Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”

    Thanks so much it really does help and I will try and see if it works. And when I do I will definetly let you know how it goes, but please also be praying that I have the courage to say anything at all, because I am the kinda person where I will just let things happen and say nothing cause I am scared bout what people think. That is one of the things God is working on me with. So I am gonna try and then I will get back to you. Thank a million!! Love Megan :)

    Thanks for the amazing advice. I have been praying and he has been so much better, and has not been in my personal bubble. We are still good friends and he is alot more respectful I didnt even have to tell him much, just have to remind him where he stands every once in a while, but as a friend he respects me enough to give me that. So thanks for the help it means a lot!!! Stay Strong!!! :)
