Other girls prove dresses are beautiful

Can you really live and work in dresses? A group of young ladies maintain it is not only possible, but preferable.

I don't wear dresses much, but I ADORE skirts! For the past 5 years I have worn skirts constantly, and several years before that I mainly wore skirts. I do anything and everything in skirts - football, butcher chickens, swim, manure fights, basketball, milk (cows), anything and everything I do I either do in a skirt, or don't do at all!! I don't feel you have to wear skirts/dresses to be considered modest, but I prefer skirts to pants/shorts/capris any day!

I have lots of friends who feel the same way I do, but when I was younger I didn't know ANYONE who wore skirts/dresses at all. It was very tough to be the only one, and lots of times at family gatherings and such I felt very uncomfortable (I've gotten lots of negative comments from family about wearing skirts and not pants). I also know several young men who appreciate when a girl dresses modestly, and even specifically skirts/dresses!

i've been wearing skirts all my life. i didnt like it growing up, but now i absolutely love it. i feel so much more feminine in them. you can definitely do anything you please in a skirt. it makes me sad that our world has forgotten that it's only been a few years since women got away from wearing ONLY skirts/dresses.

I too have worn dresses, jumpers, and skirts all my life. I absolutely hate wearing anything else. I think that if you cannot do something in a skirt then it is NOT for a lady to do. I am delighted to see that there are other girls out there that love just wearing dresses, jumpers, and skirts. Stick to your standards.

I love wearing skirts because I think it is so modest and feminine, not to mention elegant and beautiful! It's good to know there are other ladies who think so too!

I grew up wearing only skirts or dresses to church, but not during the week. That was until I met two weird :) families who ALWAYS wore skirts! Now these these two girls are my best friends, and I would never wear anything other than a skirt or a dress! They make me feel like a lady, and I think they look so much nicer! I am so glad for their influence (not only on the externals, but also with my relationship with God!)
