Modest Clothing - Online stores

Post by Maria »

I searched the website listed below, and it is very refreshing to see an online catalog without glamorous models wearing skimpy clothes.

Here is the best online clothing catalog that I have found for women:

http://www.serengeticatalog.com/

Please share your favorite online stores that sell modest clothing.

I opened this thread here not only for the ladies, but also so that men will be able to buy their wives, daughters, and granddaughters some modest clothing.

I have not ordered any clothes from serengeti because their dresses/skirts are too short for me, so I make my own skirts, dresses, and even blouses. However, for a woman seeking ankle length dresses/skirts and who is 5 foot 5 inches or less, these skirts and dresses are ideal.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Christ is Risen!

Thank you, dear Maria, I think it will be very useful for my matushka and other of our women here, in Argentina is more and more difficult getting factory modest clothing from for women.

I have mainly ordered clothes from two muslim owned modest clothing dealers for years.
The internet has many islamic modest clothing sites, but these two are always dependably well stocked with quality stuff.

Al Hannah is my favorite, and it has inexpensive prices.

Shukr is a bit more expensive.

Honorable mentions include Liz's Icons - a Georgian website based in Montreal which has an outstanding collection of traditional Caucasian hats and other items from Georgia of interest to Orthodox Christians such as prayer ropes.

I do not know of too many online stores which sell traditional Eastern Orthodox Christian clothing.
Greekshops.com is expensive, and its clothes are a bit over the top in my opinion.
Ready made Russian Old believer clothing is hard to find. I would like to know about that if anyone knows where to get it.

My priest is from Ossetia, and he says that traditional clothing has begun to make a comeback in the Caucasus.
We do not know of any online stores yet, but he can order from his family who have a local tailor make it.

Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth thee to stray from the words of knowledge.
