It is so refreshing to see other ladies teaching their daughters about classy, modest apparel. This video has lots of wisdom.
Your daughters look beautiful in their dresses. xx Marissa
Thank you for saying that, Marissa 🌹
I made a decision many years ago as a teacher to ditch the trousers and wear skirts, heels, dresses etc.. as I saw a decline in the standard of clothing amongst the staff. Of course I got many comments ( often catty) but a few colleagues actually said to me that I’d inspired them to do the same and they ditched the trousers too. Amazing what happens when you make some changes and how it affects others . X
That's wonderful that you chose to lead by example in this way despite the catty comments. I remember how nice my teachers always looked, so professional but you're right, things have declined so much unfortunately.
I love the way you phrased it: "girls want to attract the male gaze". That's really what it is, isn't it? The boys are starting to "glance" at the girls in a way they never have before, and it is important that the mothers of the young daughters teach their girls how to appropriately gain the male's attention with beauty and poise. Thank you, Nikki!🥰
Thank you! Yes, it's vital we teach them those things 🌹
My daughter will turn 30 this fall. She recently thanked me for not allowing her to get a tattoo when she was younger. I told her then that her body was beautiful and she shouldn't get one. I told her how priceless she was. I also told her that I would buy her all the canvases she wanted to express herself there instead of tattoos on her body. My daughter now has two daughters of her own. Thank you for sharing your heart on this matter. Simply lovely.
This was powerful, thank you so much for sharing as I feel I would say the same thing 🌹
I am 33 and recently thanked my mother for the very same thing. No tattoos, no piercings other than my ear lobes… My mother was a class act and it impacted me in all areas of my life. Now as an adult woman I am so grateful for her guidance in my younger days, even if I didn’t like it then.
When I was in high school my friend used to say "it's snowing down South" meaning someone's slip was showing.
Yes, that's a good one!
Watching a replay. This is a wonderful video that all mothers and daughters should watch and discuss together. Our daughter never orescribed to the skimpy fast fashion, she found her own style...was bulkied for it out if school, but stood firm in her beliefs...so proud of her.
I love young ladies to dress modestly, their mothers need to be a role models I’m so happily that there are moms that care.
Amen 🌹
Dear Nikki, your daughters are so blessed to have a wonderful mother like you! I hope they realize this and apply this wisdom in their hearts. I’m so glad you touched on this subject as it is so important in a time like this.
Before I was saved, I didn’t know how much appearance affected the way people perceived me but also how I perceived myself. There has always been a push (even more so today) for young ladies to dress in a way that makes them appear…in lack of better words “easy”. I didn’t understand how modesty could be so freeing. Now dressing modest and feminine, it’s actually very eye opening to see how people will treat you. People will open doors for you, men are respectful, older folks will smile and greet you, and occasionally I get complimented for how I’m dressed. I even feel better about myself now that I’m not conforming to society’s standards by looking skimpy. Mostly, I dress like this to please God.
Thank you for this video. God bless you. ❤
Thank you for writing that! This was very well written, I appreciate what you had to add to this conversation 🌹
I’m gonna put it out there and say that I’m a large lady. I’m still going to wear dresses! I don’t look right in any of them because of my body type but I’m loving dressing up!!!!
I’m not skinny either, but I love wearing dresses! My husband loves it too 😊
I am too, but personally I find dresses/skirts are actually more flattering and hide more than jeans or pants. 💕
Thank you for normalizing women wearing dresses! I made the switch early April and haven’t looked back since! Though I’ve definitely gotten unwarranted opinions on both ends of the spectrum haha but for the most part, it does turn heads and people are pretty friendly!
It's my pleasure! That's so nice that you made that switch. I hope you continue to feel beautiful🌹
I admire your confidence and belief in your ideas! We should all learn to trust ourselves and dress as we please!
Nikki, you are a wonderful example for your daughters and for women who come across your videos. Your daughters look beautiful in those dresses. 💖
Thank you, Samantha!
I loved dressing my kids when they were younger-my daughter and even my son. I sewed some of my daughter’s clothes and especially liked sewing dresses for her. My daughter has a new baby boy (our first grandchild!) and has recently returned to wearing dresses.
It's such a fun time, my husband often says that time was our gift, especially as things increasingly get more difficult. That's so nice to know that your daughter has made a return to loveliness in that way 🌹
Having four daughters I struggled this year finding modest swimwear! Thankfully my daughters are pretty fine with whatever I end up getting, but I'm shocked at how skimpy swimsuits for young girls are nowadays!
I agree, it's so hard. Try daintyjewells.com
I never knew how much I needed your content in my life. I watch your videos often. You help me realize the woman I am and it helps encourage me to show up as the woman I am I meant to be for my family. God is surely using you help women. Thank you for sharing your beautiful light with us ❤
What a beautiful and encouraging comment. Thank you so much! Continue to be that lovely Lady of the House 🌹
What is horrifying is how the mothers dress sometimes!!
Thank you for being a wonderful example to your daughters, women and young ladies. It’s becoming a wonderful trend. That I hope endures.
My Dad used to say that a woman was sexier with clothes on. Clothes emphasize our femininity and a man is drawn to the entire look, not a particular area per se.
I agree. Too much skin seems to cry out “look at me.” However, it is the spirit that matters when it comes to meaningful relationships.
I love that linen blue dress, so cute on her!
Man, they make the dresses look amazing!
Amen on this topic. I’m sure it got some chatter.
Thank you!
I absolutely loved how you ended this video. The images of your daughters, then you walking on what looked like a country road. You looked so full of joy twirling in the sunlight then, the music along side it. It made me feel homesick for that joyful feeling. It was beautiful.
I'm so glad, thank you for letting me know 🌹
Looking in a mirror. Such good advice. Just wish more women would do this before leaving home.
You and your daughters are setting a wonderful example to women. Classy is the word that comes to mind.
Thank you kindly 🌹
Loved this video! Thank you for making yourself vulnerable by talking about some things that can be controversial. You did a great job w/o sounding condescending or overly opinionated. 🥰
Hello Nikki, thank you for this wonderful video, and for all your beautiful content! I remember first seeing your video about morning routines and I was and still am so blessed by your inspiration around femininity. My mother passed away when I was twelve, but I still remember her always making an effort to dress up nicely, even when she was just at home with us children. Your videos have filled a bit of the gap she left and I'm so thankful for another role model to be inspired by. You have such a lovely motherly passion for truth and beauty and I have been blessed by it. Thank you.
I love dresses and I wear them. I'll be honest, I don't wear them everyday, but I do wear them regularly. I have only one child, and she is a young lady now. I am so happy that she is very modest. She also wears dresses regularly. I love the fact that she cares about looking beautiful. The clothing she wears show that she respects herself. She never wears anything that is revealing. I am blessed. Thanks for this video. Your daughters are beautiful young ladies.
That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing this, it's an encouragement for sure 🌹
I don't wear dresses everyday hardly ever but I have to say I do dress modestly so it's very happy to me when I see young girls dressing modestly also
What a lovely and inspiring video! One thing ladies of all ages need to remember is to look at yourself from ALL angles in a full length mirror. And move and bend etc… while doing so. Most of us are pretty ignorant of what we are showing to others when wearing something. I know I was.
Thank you and that's wonderful advice 🌹
Hi Nikki. First let me tell you that I love your dress. The flower print is beautiful. Elegant and so feminine. Second, I totally agree with you. The external influence of social networks, movies and fellow students, can make our girls want to look sexy instead of beautiful. It's a topic to discuss with them without a doubt. I think it's good to explain to them that the image they build today will serve tomorrow. Although it is not only about image, but about self-respect. Your girls are enormous and model very well. They went out to their mother. I send blessings and much love❤🌹🥰
Thank you kindly and I really appreciate your thoughts on this 🌹
Perfect! I have 5 daughters 💗
What wonderful blessings 🌹
Oh my I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your dress!!! It is so you ❤
Thank you 🌹
Your daughters look so beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this! This is even helpful for grown women trying to change how they dress, update their manners and just their general femininity journey. Many of us lack certain important information on being a proper lady. I agree about asking men what they think. What they think is important if we want to have great relationships with them. One interesting thing that I've learned about sitting properly a few years ago is something called the Windsor and half Windsor sit, it's the way the Queen of England used to sit and how the Royal family teaches their ladies to sit. When you said you have England as the code word for your kids it made me think of the proper way that the Queen sits.
In today's modern world, it's so important to counter act the pop culture by teaching girls and teens traditional lady-like behavior. I think It will serve them well and allow them to have successful lives.
I love learning about the sitting styles of the royals. I’m so glad you enjoyed this and found it helpful 🌹
I love how gracefully and thoroughly you go through this controversial topic. I did not always dress modestly and certainly not in skirts and dresses and I truly wish this was a standard I had through my whole life. I also have tattoos with great regret.
Love love love the “London” idea! I have been stuck several times trying to subtly correct the way my daughters are sitting! Thank you!
I'm so happy you enjoyed this and found "London" to be helpful!
I LOVE your code word "London." Even your code word is elegant and beautiful! Perfect for elegant and timeless ladies.☺️😁💖👛
Very well stated Nikki. So needed for our daughters. Thank yoi.
Thank you 🌹
As a mother of young boys I appreciate that their are parents teaching their daughters about femininity and being ladies as I teach my young children about how to be kind and respectful gentlemen 🙏🏽
thank you so much, Nikki...you set such a great example for all of us!
Thank you for saying that 🌹
Thank you Nikki. What a lovely video with inspiring and encouragement. Ladies being ladies. . we need more of this. God bless you! I love dresses and skirts and am always surprised when I get a nice compliment when I am out and about in even my most basic dress/skirt ensemble. I suppose because it's not the norm. Keep up the good work!
Thank you kindly! Yes, you made their day more beautiful!
Really enjoyed this and an education for us all. "London" is a good one. Thank you.
I'm so glad 🌹
I love all your advice!! You always address everything in such a classy way✨ I’m a young mom and this video is so helpful! I would love more videos on this topic.
That's so nice to know, thank you! I appreciate your request too 🌹
You all look stunning! Love your advise and also your good influence on your daughters. I watch your channel when I want feel feminine and in turn act and look more feminine. No one complains. xo
Thank you, Yvette!
This was wonderful and the Dresses 👗 so beautiful and I will check this store out. My daughter and myself are Modestly females. My daughter just turned 13. ❤❤❤
Love the topic. I struggle with buying modest clothing for my tall 4 year old daughter she a girly girl and love dresses. In the netherlands, most girls wear jeans and a casual top. I hope my daugher keep loving de feminim look when she gets older.😊
I loved this topics. Great way to explain the modest lady.
4:48 That was SO refreshing to hear, and I even think this is the first time i've ever heard something like that. I have had feelings of guilt and even felt kinda dirty for wanting to attract male attention. But you are 100% right it is a NATURAL thing for both men and women to want to atract the opposite sex with the way we dress and there's nothing wrong with that. Of course that is not the only reason why we choose a certain piece of clothing, but is part of that, specially if you are single (am currently single :3☺️). Thank u so much for this video Nikki ^^ your daugthers are beautiful btw 💕
Thank you! We most certainly should concern ourselves with what men find to be beautiful as well and what's funny is that it's the complete opposite of what society is pushing. Attracting the right man with vulgarity, aggressive demeanor and an uncomely appearance just doesn't add up 🌹
I posted a comment earlier, but it seems that my computer may have glitched and deleted it, unfortunately. If you see two of the same types of comments from me, I apologize.
I agree with your sentiments, and, as Nikki mentioned, that there is a difference between dressing beautifully and dressing sensually. Both are attractive to men, but they attract different types of men.
A lady should never make compromises with regard to modesty. I am reminded of a friend of mine who desires to marry. Her father tells her to wear shorter skirts if she wishes to catch the attention of men, but she wisely refuses. However, neither does she wear potato sacks. She has very lovely, feminine dresses and skirts that modestly conceal her form while also flattering her.
When I first began wearing dresses and skirts, I was not sure how to dress, but I have taken inspiration from historical fashion. I find that the nicest dresses are fitted (but not tight) at the waist, with long, full skirts. Here are a few examples I have found from Instagram. Not all of them are perfect, but they still give a general idea of what I'm referencing.

@@sophiajohnson8608 Thank you! I have followed Rebecca Lord on Facebook. ❤
Thank you so much for this! This is such a needed discussion today. You are a ray of beauty and light!
I loved the message I have one daughter. Last year I started my journey to dress modestly that's how i find you channel . I really want to teach my daughter with my example. this is very helpful for mothers thank you again God bless you 🙏
How nice to know, thank you for sharing this! You will do a wonderful job 🌹
I really tried to instill these values and aesthetics to both of my daughters. One of my daughters understands, the other does not, and she went in the opposite direction😢. Although I love my children unconditionally, I must say I was disappointed, in my older daughter’s choices.
Love this video and would love more videos on this ❤ I'm going to show my 13yo. Growing up can be difficult with changing bodies and trying to dress modestly❤
I'm so happy to know that! Yes, it can be very difficult 🌹
I had quite a time of it with my oldest daughter😊. I’m grateful for myself, this is my love and I like to dress beautiful and appropriate to honour God❤. Wonders to wisdom and so appropriately shared. Thank you❤
Each has their challenges just as we did 🌹
Thank you so much, Nikki. I've been waiting for this video. I'm raising two daughters and a son. My daughters are 5 and 10. It has been a joy dressing them. I'm aware that as they grow, they will have their own style, which can be influenced by the culture. I've been trying my best to instill good values and lead by example. They are great kids, and I know they will keep my teachings. Your guidelines will help a lot. Part two on this topic will be appreciated. Sending my love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
It sounds like you are doing a wonderful job and have a great outlook about this subject. A part two is definitely in order!
Thanks for another great video with a lot of wisdom!
My pleasure 🌹
Hi Nikki what a wonderful video, loved seeing your daughter's in their lovely dresses. So elegant the both of them. You must be very proud Nikki you are doing a fabulous job in raising them to be ladies. One of my granddaughter's went through the stage of torn jeans, but now at 19yrs old she is wearing lovely dresses. My other Granddaughter is 13yrs and she really looks at what Chloe is wearing and wants to be the same. Speaking nicely and good manners are also ladylike. Thanks Nikki loved your video. ❤❤
Thank you, Marilyn! Yes, those are very important areas to talk about too. It would be nice to continue the discussion on other subjects regarding raising daughters. It's nice to know your granddaughters are going down the path of loveliness 🌹
Yes, I do enjoy dressing in what I love! Which is floral dresses, usually. Or pretty solid dresses. I’m in my early 40s. I used to wear tops and skirts a lot more, but I find that it be more difficult and not as much my style. Especially most denim skirts. I wore those a lot in the 1990s in my teens, but I just don’t care for it as much now.
I used to love wearing a denim skirt as well. Your wardrobe sounds lovely 🌹
Thankyou so so much for all the advice and ideas.
❤
My pleasure!
I loved this!
I have never clicked on a video so quickly 💕 Thankyou Nikki for this wonderful video 💕🌹
I'm so glad you enjoy this content 🌹
I love this video!!!!
I'm so glad 🌹
Love your videos 🌸
My nine year old daughter is constantly doing cartwheels and handstands, not great when she wears skirts. Thankfully we just discovered skorts.😊
I love your daughter dresses 👗 ❤. I’m a boy mom and I think it’s important for my son to present himself as a respectful young child. As a mom, I like to show him how a lady should present themselves to the world in a respectful manner.
Modest clothes feel so much more comfortable for me now.. I no longer need to fidget with hemlines or necklines
Absolutely!
You are doing it perfect. God bless you and your family. ❤️🔥
I'm expecting video like this for us moms of sons.😊
A great idea, thank you for your request!
Super video thanks for sharing
Love this! My daughter is about to turn 5 years old.
How sweet 🌹
My daughter always asks me after we eat "is Joe home?" and smiles. That's code for is there any food stuck in my teeth!
Just came across your videos today! I am so glad I did! Thank you!
Great idea! Welcome, I hope you enjoy all you find here 🌹
Very good Nikki.. I love this your daughters are beautiful, like there mommz!
Thank you, Kay 🌹
Lovely!
Thank you 🌹
Lovely video. I certainly wish I had listened to my mother and not gotten that tattoo at 19! I spent the rest of my days covering it, even after many laser treatments. I love your daughter's white wedges. Do you mind me asking where they are from?
Thank you and I appreciate you sharing this about your experience. I bought her shoes from Ross and they are by the brand "Me Too".
I’m happy to see that young women are wanting more for themselves and keeping high but realistic standards for themselves and their future partners. They are realizing that dressing and acting like a 304 may attract attention, but it attracts the WRONG kind of attention, and they’re learning (either through others or unfortunately with their own experience) that they’re getting men who have the WRONG intentions. I think it’s reflecting with the “old money aesthetic” trend as well as more young women learning from content creators who focus on elegance and etiquette AND putting it into practice.
Exactly, thank you for your thoughts on this, Jennifer!
Your daughters are so beautiful and feminine ❤
Thank you!
I make my children's clothes. They are influenced by peers and media. However, I feel that it is important for them to explore their personal style with some gentle guidance from mum. My youngest is 8 and she still loves the frill but our lifestyle doesn't call for frilly so the special dresses aren't as abundant in her wardrobe. She wears a school uniform so the dilemma of getting dressed daily is taken away. I teach my girls (and my son) that dressing is for our own comfort. Of course dress appropriately for the occasion but dress in a way that is classic and stylish.
I loved when my kids wore school uniforms. I wish all schools required them. Great advice 🌹
If only every mother, grandmother, friend, took the time and patience to explain to young women why modesty is so important inside and out. Unfortunately, the outside world does judge who we are by the way we present ourselves. I wish I had listened when I was younger.
It takes some of us longer than others to realize the great wisdom shared with us over the years. So many times we shut our ears because it's not what we want to hear.
I want a sewing pattern of those wrap dresses.
I adore this video and all the wisdom you speak in it! Also, the white shoes your daughter wore with the first dress are absolutely darling! May I ask what brand they are and where you purchased them?
Thank you, I'm so glad you could gain from this video! He shoes were from Ross as were her handbags and the shoe brand was "Me Too". They had them in a brown as well which I got her because her feet look so cute in them and go with so many of her dresses 🌹
Thank you for sharing! They have such a beautiful vintage vibe to them…so classy and practical, all in one! I will have to check my local Ross to see if by chance they have them as well.
Great ❤💐👏👏👏
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and wisdom on this Nikki! As a mom to three young girls who are just starting to make their own fashion choices this was an encouragement to me! I love the code word idea. Lovely as always! 🤍
I'm so glad🌹
Oh how I love this topic! My daughter is 3 and she dresses herself and she’s started to pick t shirts over dresses :( I don’t purchase her t shirts but grandparents and dad love getting her ones with characters or animals she likes. Hope to refine my modeling for her. I want her to prefer beautiful dresses! More videos on encouraging femininity in young girls! I want to start implementing any tips as soon as I can. Your daughters were so tastefully shown, respecting their privacy and still sharing the blossoming femininity that you’ve worked to encourage in them ❤️ Just lovely
Thank you! I'm really glad you found this helpful and I look forward to creating more content around that encouragement 🌹
I did not have any daughters...all boys now grown men but I am curious to know, especially in current times, are your girls bullied in any way at school for dressing so lady like or have you found that they actually become mentors for some of the other girls in that they too have begun dressing more modestly? Your daughters look so nice in their dresses. It is wonderful that you are teaching them how to be a young lady.
My girls always receive such kind compliments at school when they wear dresses. My oldest daughter wears them every day and on the last day of school was even told by a staff member that he appreciated how professional she looks each day.
@@TheLadyoftheHouse that is wonderful.
I have talked countless times with my daughter about modesty but she is her own person and she will do what she wants. She is very strong headed and independent our eldest son is looking for a lady that's modest to settle down with. Unfortunately that's not how society teaches our children and the new generations to come! I was a tomboy hated dresses and did not care for that male attention. My daughter is very strong willed so even with her going on 21 like I said she will do what she wants. I never dressed revealing while raising this girl! It's so frustrating! Took her to secret keeper girl events the whole 9 yards! Yet she still has her own mind. Can't change her mind. So I am choosing peace within our relationship and treasuring what we do have in our relationship! Maybe some day she'll come around. But yes this is a great reminder and message to others regarding modesty! I honestly don't care about clothing. Never have. But can't walk around naked! Lol! 🤣👍🏽🌹( both of my adult kids have tattoos like I said they are their own individuals no one should be judged due to being expressive-regarding tattoos)
I hope your eldest son finds his lady. That is true, society has a way of teaching that isn't right but there are plenty of parents doing the hard work of raising their daughters to be ladies and sons to be gentlemen. I'm confident that she is out there. When you think about it, everything we display for others to see opens us up to judgement, it's just the way it is. That's why I ask, "What are we saying?"
Please ask Dare & Co. to be size inclusive. 👗
Most women dress for themselves or to impress other women not to impress men.
This is true. It's no wonder why so many women are missing the mark when it comes to dressing beautifully and why nobody is impressed.
You are such an inspiration… you are a beautiful woman and a wonderful human being 🥰I just love you 💞🌸💞🤗may lord Jesus keep you and your beautiful family safe and blessed forever ✝️💝🌸
Thank you so much 🌹
Nikki, your daughters did a wonderful job modeling the dresses! It is truly a battle with daughters and society and the world that they are faced with. I have work with both of my girls on this and it has been incredibly difficult with my youngest where the styles switched from longer shirts to crop style shirts. You presented some great ideas on how to talk to daughters that I think would be helpful. They both respected my guidelines, but I definitely got a lot of pushback, I’m hoping when they are older, they will understand more.
Books that continue your discussion...The Lost Art of Dress: The Women Who Once Made America Stylish and It's not that Complicated
Yes, I have that book!
Well done proverbs 31 mom 👏🏻
This video is so timely! My husband just came in 30 min ago talking about our daughter and she plays basketball and sometimes wears the uniform around. He spoke that he doesn’t like that (except for actually playing ball) because it’s not feminine at all, but nothing like that for daily wear. I agreed completely. I’m just glad he spoke up! And thankful for your video today.
It is always so nice when a father voices this and I would agree. I'm so glad you enjoyed this 🌹
They make little girls clothes so skimpy now days and that’s terrible to me!
I agree!
respectfully you should be a little careful with your neckline - its too low.
I appreciate your opinion, everyone feels differently about such things and it’s truly something we each must determine ourselves. What seems right to you may not be to me and vice versa.
