Modesty for Mormons PDF Print E-mail
Written by Marcella

hello! I am not quite sure what constitutes an 'immodest' gown (for women) I think that some outfits (i.e very short skirts) are obvious, but what I do not normally consider inappropriate (sleeveless tanktops, a bikini)i have learned are not suitable....

this whole question came up for me because one of my close friends who is mormon is getting married and some of the bridesmaid dresses I showed her she deemed 'immodest' It made me really insecure because i had purposefully tried to pick out gowns that were not too revealing... Is a wedding simply a different circumstance where people usually dress more modestly than usual, or are there certain general codes of modesty that I should know about?

1. Modesty in Dress
The For Strength of Youth pamphlet has a great overview of dress standrads of the church.  
 
Overall LDS members should never wear clothing that goes above the knee, or exposes the naval, back, breasts,or shoulders this standard applies to both men and women.  
 
The sole exception is swimwear men are ecouraged to wear appropriate swim trunks and women are encouraged to wear one piece bathing suits, when done swimming modest attire should be changed into or worn over the swim suit.
