So, many young ladies have asked me "why are there no modest skirts that are NICE, not frumpy!!!!" and my small amount of research has yielded these. You do have to be picky, and some are pretty pricey, but most of these are guaranteed to be good quality, not flimsy, rippy, or otherwise worn out quickly. Personally, I intend to dress myself very nicely someday...that day when I am independently wealthy. ;-)
But, until then, I have taken a vow of poverty to dress myself in 2nd/3rd/4th/5th hand stuff and try to make the results look something like this. It can be done if you've got talent and a good eye. Don't forget to check the clearance racks, as you can often find things for 50-80% less than the original price!
Funky Frum https://www.funkyfrum.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=13 has nice colors and styles...very streamlined puckered type things.
Hannah Lise is rather conservative, you've got to pick through it to find the good stuff, which may not work out for you anyhow. Beware of frump and loose fittingness.
Modest Clothing is just that, and very Amish. (not literally, but almost)
Shade has more tops than anything, but they modest while still fashionable and in good taste. Overall, very nice styles, simple, elegant, pretty and practical. They also have really cute maternity clothing.
J.Jill is one of my favorite clothing lines ever! Natural styles, elegant, fashionable, and great variety. You do have to pick through the funky stuff, and their boots look really silly.
Soft surroundings has lots of really long skirts, sometimes rather bizarre, but always colorful and pretty.
Christa-Taylor Modern, simple, and elegant, though a wee bit pricy. If you buy something from them, they will send some money or blankets or something to widows and orphans in Cambodia.
Eshet Chayil is a definite mix, moderate pricing, some sheik and antique styles. Kinda weird on the whole.
Next Tag is basically a search engine for literally thousands of items from different suppliers and allows you to search by style, brand, price, fabric, etc. You have to sort through for the nice things, but there are alot mixed in to hundreds of different skirts.
Style J has modern, long denim skirts, with options for petite and tall and extra-tall too! Moderately priced and will match many different tops and go with several styles.
contains scores of skirts, shawls, tunic type shirts, and home décor strait from
Shopstyle.com : yet another wonderful source for comparing things from several sites. Prices vary, but it alows the freedom to sift through a lot of different styles, prices, etc.
