The teen girls that are trying to dress more feminine are in the minority in our culture. The current fashions for teen and adult women are shocking. It is an uphill battle for the girls and the photos are 1) one way for them to support each other, 2) a way to give other girls ideas on how to dress in skirts, etc. who may be interested and have no idea on where to begin and 3) a way to show other teens that, yes, you can dress more feminine and not look "dowdy". Lady Rose, I think it's a lovely "ministry".<BR/>Dolors HAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217113382324060876.post-71974050035038324232008-07-25T12:24:00.000-05:002008-07-25T12:24:00.000-05:00May I ask... have you visited my blog?If so, then ...May I ask... have you visited my blog?<BR/><BR/>If so, then why don't we continue this discussion there?<BR/><BR/>The link can be found in the sidebar of this blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217113382324060876.post-34246123956336675522008-07-25T11:34:00.000-05:002008-07-25T11:34:00.000-05:00Dear Lady Rose, while dressing in a feminine manne...Dear Lady Rose, while dressing in a feminine manner is laudable, the attention to detail and the numerous photos could be an occasion for vainglory.

I can certainly see how it could be, but may I inform you that the girls who do it are not doing so to say "Look at me! I am wearing feminine dress for a whole week! See how much better I am then you?" <BR/>Let me quote the young lady whom I first heard about this from:<BR/>[...]Four times a year - spring, summer, fall, and winter - the ladies at the Sense and Sensibility forums have what we call A Week in Feminine Dress. Those participating dress in feminine attire over the course of the week to show how skirts and femininity are both pretty and practical, and we share our day-to-day pictures with one another.[...]<BR/><BR/>I do not see this as something where we are trying to display how much better dressed we are then others, but as a way to show that dressing in a feminine matter can be both pretty and practical. I also see this as another way of encouraging others to dress similarly, that they are not alone, there are others out there who do wear the same kinds of clothing that you do and to not be afraid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6217113382324060876.post-61341073750535553182008-07-24T19:03:00.000-05:002008-07-24T19:03:00.000-05:00So sorry.

Any advice? I'm "afraid" to bike ride in my skirt. I have found that I'm so much cooler in the summer in a skirt, despite it's length. I've also found that we're almost ready to go anywhere when we wear skirts. No "changing" necessary. Great column because I appreciate the support. Makes us feel not sooooo different. In Hanceville all the ladies and girls are in skirts. It's beautiful!

I remember that! <BR/> (Though I did. And now I have no excuse because I am a registered quick change artist... complete outfit change once in 2 min! Less, actually. That was regular clothes... not the time I did from the Civil War hoops to a different outfit - with make-up! in about 5 minutes. Maybe less?)<BR/><BR/>But I would change now! I have defiantly grown in modesty awareness, and feel so uncomfortable wearing pants in public! Alas for me, I do look good in them... but I just don't like them anymore!<BR/><BR/>Some people think we are amish? I knew other people got those remarks.. but I didn't know anyone had said that to us!
