My life has transformed after beginning to dress modestly. I have found that if you dress and conduct your life with modesty and humility, men will treat you with respect. It works ladies! Dress with dignity!
Ms. Hammond, Thank you so much for answering this Call From GOD! I, too, had NO IDEA of my "immodesty" until I heard a Sermon about it last year! All agreed.... CLOSET EMPTIED & BEHAVIOR MODIFIED! For me, it took decades to "get" what my beautiful Catholic Parents were "trying so hard" to teach me! It's never too late to learn The Way Of Christ! The Key for Women is to FASHION OURSELVES AFTER "THE GRACES & VIRTUES" OF OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY. Then, our "outer dress" will follow our "inner grace". Yours is a Vital Book for ALL WOMEN of any faith or no faith at all! As no matter what your faith.... MODESTY WILL RAISE YOU UP TOWARDS GOD! Your interview was so inspiring! I really want to read your blessed Book! Many Thanks💖
Great video series. I love Colleen. Please edit this so the initial picture you see of her is a more accurate facial expression. Great lady with a great message.
As a teacher at middle school EVERY female student needs this book. Every principal needs this book. Every parent of girls needs this book. The way women older than me dress as if they are teens is disgusting. I ended up working overseas in Asia and Middle East and learned to dress modestly and I actually love it. I don't have this pressure any more and I feel more feminine.
The only thing I liked of the 80s was the return of the long skirts and dresses. I often have to search in thrift shops to find them. Also, I find having a sewing machine helpful to modify some of the clothing like ling slits and low bodices.
I think we need to discuss the issue of intentionally dressing to make people look. There are those of us who do not have unlimited income to go out and buy a new wardrobe. I believe that for those of us who have limited clothing choice (within their own closet), layering is important. Dressing so as not to see through clothing, to cover the bottom and front with something longer or with length. I find it extremely difficult to find conservative clothing in affordable clothing stores, e.g., Marshall's, TJMax, etc. I was shopping online and could find longer skirts only at Nordstrom and Dillard's. Even Christian online stores are greatly lacking. As far as having to do work on a ladder. My husband passed away. I am too old to remarry. I do not have any men in my life that can do the "manly" work. When I go pull weeds or wash the outside of my home, I am not going to do it in a skirt or dress. I do believe we do have very definitive roles. I love being a woman! I love my beautiful children and grandchildren. But sometimes there are instances where wearing pants, e.g., doing yard work, would be more appropriate and conservative than wearing a skirt. Thank you for the talk.
We have to be mindful that our Priest brothers are still men. My profile picture is from a couple of months ago and I'm 76. I still get attention from men, not always the right kind. I dress and act modestly I'm not saying that to brag, it's relevant to my comment. My hair is it's natural color. I only shampoo, I don't put anything else on it. I went to Mass on Saturday and afterwards, I was sitting with one of the priests and a deacon waiting for a birthday party to start. Our main priest who is a Carmelite, came out of his office and we all were chatting and suddenly he said "Wow, you look so young, your skin is really pretty, you must use good cream." I could not believe it. btw, I wasn't even wearing makeup. So I jumped on the cream comment and said "It's the Chrism of the Holy Spirit." That elicited positive responses. But when I got home, I cried for him. I emailed another Carmelite priest and without identifying the first, I asked what to do. My advisor said that as long as I am being appropriate, this is his issue to work out and I just need to be mindful of myself at all times. As for my practice to remain pure, I'm a widow, I have to remember not to fall into vanity but also, not regret my blessing. I would never pray that Our Lord make me ugly, for example. He made me this way and I thank him for it but I have a heavy burden to bear. I just want to end by saying I don't think I'm conventionally beautiful but people see "something" in me that draws them so I accept it rather than denying it.
Mary, (MUM) Universal Mother said many souls are going to hell due to the sins of impurity. Christian women, more so Catholics, don't just cover up but be 100% modest. Muslim women follow a pagan man & yet they are modest cos they have to face Jesus Christ's judgment so what about us Christian women? Christian men, you have your hands in the cookie jar too if you permit your women to be immodest.
Colleen, I will be in my sister's wedding party and bridesmaids are wearing backless dresses. How can I cover my back and still retain the look of the dress? I told me sister I would need something to cover my back and I would supply. Should I supply for all as a choice if they would like to wear? The dress is tank top top and clingy all the way to bottom, long, back is bare. PLease help!
Thank you for your inquiry, which for a personal response from the speaker we suggest you direct to her Facebook page. God bless you. facebook.com/ColleenMHammond/
I like what Colleen Hammond says and writes...and I agree that modesty is excellent and I appreciate her books and her presentations. And the Vatican guidelines are very helpful. Just one small scientific correction: both men and women have all three hormones, testosterone, progesterone and estrogen, but in different amounts. In males, testosterone is transformed into estradiol by an enzyme reaction, utilizing aromatase. And female bodies produce testosterone, but in 10% the amount as males. Both sexes have progesterone. Also some women are less emotional and more objective than men, especially if the husband is an alcoholic and the wife is sober. Alcoholics are emotional and unstable...so the over-generalization that men are more objective than women is just that: an over-generalization that is not true in reality. Notwithstanding these few things, Colleen Hammond presents a valuable and excellent message.
It is true that some women are more objective than men. But generally speaking, that is, on average men are more driven by logic and reason, as opposed to emotion, than women. And there isn't anything wrong with that. It is simply the way God created men and women. It is necessary that women be more emotional because they are the ones who need to empathize with the children if they are rearing them as they were meant to. It is a perfection of femininity. This is nowadays seen as a weakness because our society has perverted the concept of what it means to be a woman (feminism). Society denigrates the mother that chooses to stay home and rear her children as God intended. And it praises the ones who send their children off to childcare to be raised by strangers, sometimes the state. All so they can go work for the man, calling themselves independent for it. In short, western society strives to make men out of their women. Catholic roles of men and women, under normal circumstances (obviously there are exceptions to the rule, but they prove the rule): Men/Fathers - protectors and providers. Women/Mothers - primary rearer of children, homemaker. Complementarity - both roles work in tandem helping each other out in their duties, but maximizing what they are good at. Modern society with the diabolical inversion/disorientation introduced by feminism flips this and creates conflict within the household by seeking to make a man out of the woman. And in turn, this helps the man, already beaten down by all the propaganda that says men are evil become more effeminate/slothful since what he does (provide and protect) is not valued by the wife. This is especially the case since having children is now viewed as an evil/stupid thing or too great a cross due to the lies of overpopulation, climate change, etc. And the seeking of immediate pleasure.

I heard a priest sum it up. He said Women like to be seen and men like to look. There in lies the battle for purity.
"Dressing with Dignity" is a fantastic book! It hugely inspired me to write my book on Modesty!

Strange you would say that as she has since renounced her book and traditional catholicism

I think the question is what are you buying your teenage daughters to wear

Bolero. Wear a bolero.
@@poproxkandy thank you. Yes, that’s what I did☺️
