Why I Wear Skirts and Dresses 

I have never felt compelled to comment on video on RU-vid before until stumbling across this particular one. I was raised as a Catholic, however It was also in a feministic household/environment . I went to Public high school, participated in cheerleading, parting etc. I was unfortunately never taught in depth about modesty, dignity, and femininity. I always was urged and praised to excel in school and college as well as the whole feminist mindset of thinking “I need to fit into society, in with my peers, accept the body positivity junk and that’s ultimately what will make me happy and attractive” -boy was I wrong! Fast forward to now, I am 20 years old, I have had a recent reversion in my Catholic faith, and I am overjoyed to have met the most incredible man (who I marrying this Aug :) who is a traditional Catholic. He gently and lovingly spent time explaining to me about how dangerous the feministic mindset is for women and especially for Christians and Catholics. I didn’t even realize how my life had been revolving around those feministic “values” for so long. People, and other men always commented on how good I looked in jeans or unisex immodest clothing, therefore I thought that’s what made me “beautiful”. My fiancé told me otherwise, and explained how my God given beauty and femininity is a gift from God and needs to be protected and nourished. I went from wearing immodest short skirts, shorts, skin tight jeans, low tops, etc to now completely wearing modest attire and only dresses and skirts. As of last night, I’m happy to say I don’t own a single pair of jeans anymore. If you’re young like me, please don’t be afraid of being feminine and guarding your dignity, your self worth with clothing who truly brings out your beauty. And ladies, let me tell you, there is so many very flattering, stylish, and beautiful dresses and skirts that are modest available right now! (They are hard to find, but not impossible:) Since I’ve begun wearing skirts and dresses everyday I’ve noticed a major change in how others treat me. So much more respect, compliments, and kindness. I made this change for God ultimately (so not to lead others into the sin of lust anymore) and out of respect for myself and my future husband. He calls me his diamond, and I feel truly blessed to have finally made the change and committed to this decision. My fiancé couldn’t be more happy for me and proud of me. He is striving to be a shining example of what real masculinity is in this messed up society, and I’m striving to be an example of real femininity. Please don’t be afraid to be feminine, beautiful, welcoming, and charming. We are woman, let’s be proud and thankful for that ♥️God bless

"Why I wear skirts and dresses right now: it's because I"M A WOMAN." Amen!!!!!

Not Christian. But I do feel that men and women are very different. And i find wearing more dresses and skirts does help me to remember my roll as a wife and to feel beautiful. I am able to do all my tasks for the day (even my farm chores) while staying feminine.

I remember always refusing to wear pants as a little kid, I would only wear skirts and dresses. As I got older, I started to, but something about jeans or pants of any sort honestly never appealed to me. When I wore skirts and dresses I immediately felt happier, prettier, more like myself. Everyone teases me for always wearing dresses, but I don't even care because I like it so much:) This is a great video💕

"I am sending a signal that my husband wears a pant in the family!" -- I never thought of it this way but yes! I started my journey on this in September 2020 and let go of all my skinny jeans and revealing tops/ dresses.

This resonates deeply with me. I recently have switched to wearing skirts and dresses only due to comfort and having a romantic body type like you. They just look so much better on me and are far more comfortable than jeans. What I have found through this natural transition is a deep happiness and I am truly reveling in my femininity. I put bows, ribbons, or sparkly hair combs in my hair every day. I sleep in white flowy nightgowns that look like they came right out of a Jane Austen novel. Since I started this change, I now get ready EVERY day instead of bumming around in my pajamas or sweatpants. I look forward to picking out a cute outfit and beautiful accessories every morning. It has awakened something in me that I haven't felt since childhood. And like you, I've always heard the old "I wear skirts because they're modest." Funnily enough, I've always found pants to be more modest due to the "easy access" of skirts/dresses and the potential flare ups on a windy day. (My husband seems to agree with me. He's been all over me since I made the switch hahahaha) So modesty really has nothing to do with the switch for me... It's all about embracing my femininity and enjoying being a woman! Finding the same joy for dressing up that I had as a young child putting on my frilly dress up dresses and dancing through the garden. I loved hearing your perspective on it. Thanks for sharing :)

I loved this message and absolutely resonated with it. Especially the ending about not hiding the curves God gave us, but still being modest while embracing our figure 😊. I love that! Oftentimes I see women either hiding their bodies out of shame, or flaunting everything out of pride. This was such a wonderful chat. Thank you for sharing 😊💕.

I hate wearing pants and I feel so ugly with them 😭 I've started buying only dresses and I love them so much! I can't wear dresses to work but everytime I have the occasion I wear them and they make me feel stunning ❤🌷

I've always loved wearing skirts and dresses, in fact I only wear skirts and dresses, even in winter. I'm the only girl my age I know of who enjoys being feminine like this.

I feel more comfortable wearing dresses and skirts than pants. Pants are no restrictive for me. I'm moving towards wearing more skirts and dresses. You made some good points and the background looks good. God bless.

So much of what you said I ADORE! “We as a society has removed the respect and honor due the homemaker” yes. Yes . Yes.

I couldn't agree with you more! Dresses and skirts are a feminine clothing item made for woman and I agree that this should indeed not only be kept this way but should also be celebrated. I also only wear dresses and have been for almost a year now. It feels more comfortable and more me. I also feel that it is something that isn't embraced enough and should be. Thank you for this video! I love your content and I too am also a homemaker 💗. Keep up the good work girly!

I like the setup..I love wearing dresses and skirts. I did not even realize that I was wearing them so much..A couple of months ago I was hanging up my clothes,and when finished,I saw that I had only used pants to work because I have to,and there where like 7 skirts and a dress.If I could,I would wear skirts and dresses to work too. And it is so beautiful to see other women to live out biblical womanhood..🥰🌺

I have no confidence to wear dresses and skirts but this video is great. Thank you 💖 And please do more RU-vid videos we need more feminine vloggers💖

I've been wearing pants less and less lately and I love it.

Yes. I love being a woman and it feels that they try to take these things away from us that we truly love 💕

Wow! going through the comment section I am so happy to know there's a lot of people who feel the same way. I've never felt beautiful in pants coz they show all my curves(I am quite curvy) and that makes me feel exposed(I know that sounds weird) and uncomfortable. I only wear dresses and skirts that flatter my feminine curves in a modest way. Thank you for making this video😘

So insightful. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

Yes girl, everything, yes yes yes 👏🏼👏🏼 I feel most feminine in skirts & dresses, it’s truly so fun! I have 2 girls under 2 & I love wearing dresses all together 👒

I have the same body shape as you and I completely stopped wearing pants, jeans, shorts over 12 months ago as I hated how they looked on me and I never felt feminine in them, I love wearing only skirts and dresses and love my romantic feminine wardrobe and with my pear shape I don't wear anything tight or fitted or shorter than my knees, one of my favourite RU-vid channel is inspired by Nikki and I love her feminine style, I have also been growing my naturally curly hair longer after realising that I hated my hair shorter and my husband loves my longer hair and style, in the UK winter I will wear thermal or fleece tights or leggings and boots with my skirts and dresses as it can get very cold and frosty

Hello! This is the first video of your's that I have watched. I really liked a lot of what you said. I have been wearing only skirts and dresses for about 10 years now. I do wear skirts mostly because they are more modest. However, I absolutely agree that modesty does not mean hiding your feminine figure! Dresses in the 1920's where made to hide a woman's curves and make her look like she had the figure of a boy. So yes, we should dress modestly, but in a way that does not hide our beautiful, feminine shape. I really like how you said that transitioning to wearing skirts and dresses was an act of rebellion. Being a traditional, Christian person really is counter-cultural and rebellious these days. I can't wait to see more videos with only skirt and dress outfits! God Bless!

Hi, I found your channel when I was rewatching one of Cynthia’s videos and she gave you a shout out and I’m so pleased that I did. I have recently discovered the #femininity movement and taken more of an interest in what it means to be a feminine woman. I made the transition to wearing mainly dresses and skirts, usually accessorised by a brooch or hair flower approximately 12 months ago and I LOVE it! I do own a couple of pairs of dungarees and vintage style trousers, but they are not usually my first choice of clothing for the day. I look forward to your future videos and will take the time to watch your previous ones in the near future. Love Catherine 👗 xx

I only wear skirts and dresses too. I’ve been this way since I middle school. Whenever people take notes that I don’t wear pants or sneakers they take jabs. I don’t care because I just love wearing some heels or flats with a nice dress.

Love this. Love your channel and what you stand for💕

I am also the person of extremes. I always go full force into something, and then into something new too. Literally!!! Same!

Great video and thank you for sharing! I agree, there are many distinct differences in a male and female. We don’t have to state the obvious but God created us different!! Sure have missed you! I love waring dresses and skirts as well! God bless you!! 🥰

Love your honesty. This was so encouraging

The set up is tranquil and very cute. I love it. Great job!!

Great video! Thanks for the thoughts. I especially loved the part about honoring and enhancing my husband and his masculinity with my femininity, and dresses and skirts. ❤ Kilts are often used as an excuse, but kilts are not skirts! Women don’t wear kilts, women wear dresses, the kilts are for the men. Men can and have worn robes in different cultures, but the women had a distinct different kind of robe and dress. Always distinction between men and women.

I live in skirts and sandals only...true biblical femininity. And I love your nails !!!

I’m a new subscriber and am loving your channel content ❤️. Hugs from England x

I really appreciate your point of you on this it is different than what I have seen in other content in regards to modesty. I found your channel through Cynthia’s channel and her shout out. Another content creator you might enjoy is inspired by NiKiki, She has went through a similar transformation to dresses. I still wear mostly dresses but rotate between pants in the winter. I live in Michigan and just find that they keep me warmer but I accent with beautiful feminine blouses and sweaters.

Go girl, I think this is a lovely video. Thank you for making it! And you look very pretty in your outfit.

I agree with everything you said and I’ve been on a very similar journey myself for a lot of the same reasons.

thank you for speaking out on this!!! the harry styles wearing a dress was very annoying. pushing an agenda. i have also been having a wonderful time wearing dresses. i felt "i had to take back dresses" too! retiring my jeans for a while and enjoying myself. feel like im a doll everyday and its fun to dress myself in dresses that are comfortable to manage my kids and household in. i love when my husband comes home and im in my cute dress and he smiles so big.

I am a person of extremes as well. And I understand how it could be viewed as inconsistent and probably very irrational. But I also think that as long as we don't go into extremes in the very important choices like the choice of our partner (in the traditional sense of a lifelong partner), there is nothing wrong with that. I think the idea of living in extremes applies mostly to hobbies and parts of our lifestyle and not our core values and that is great. It means that we get to experiment with different things and with the extremes there is so much joy and passion involved that I would never want to miss it, even if in 6 months I have another hobby that I am completely obsessed about. (Of course I'm not saying that we aren't passionate about our core values. But I am saying that emotional passion isn't the reason we hold on to these core values.)

I agree modesty does differ by culture, I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone based on your standards for modesty because each person’s culture and environment could be different than yours; Great thoughts 💕

I'm not a "girly girl" at all but I do feel like the Lord has been tugging at my heart to start dressing more modestly. Just praying God's leading in Him leading in the right direction to start dressing more modestly. But with my own unique style 😊 great video I enjoyed listening to you speak on this issue God bless 😊🙏🏾🩷

It’s all depends on a social norm and which period we are living. Dresses, heels, silk stockings were for men as well.

I'm in the same boat as you thank you for your content!!

I 100% agree with you, well said, thank you, so refreshing to hear. God bless.

i loved this so much 💓

I’ve gotten bigger after covid and 2 kids, no excuses though I let myself go. But funnily enough dresses are the only flattering outfits for me plus their comfy, inexpensive, all in one outfits. I’m now obsessed. And loving caftans for at home as well.

wonderful video as always

I am an atheist but I agree so much with everything you said!!! World is kind of going crazy

I enjoyed this, Cant wait to see more content from you :)

I totally agree with you that a woman should express her femininity through wearing skirts and dresses, thanks for discussing the topic, really enjoyed your video.

I know God lead me to start wearing maxi skirts recently because I don't know if this happens to any other women but every time I wear pants I would develop jock itch so that's that! plus skirts are way more comfortable to me. God knows best!

Amen sister!

Wonderful! Thank-you for sharing your experience. May God bless you my dear sister. The beauty of simplicity points to Jesus, who became poor to save us.

100% agree a THANK YOU GOD BLESS❤️

Hey! What are your favorite kind of fleece lined leggings ? Searching for some for winter! Thnks!

I've been typed Romantic body type, too. I'm 52 and 5'2". Currently almost 177 pounds.... I look much like you! I've cut my hair short because I've dyed it since I was 41-42. I'm ready to embrace my gray or silver and my natural hair colors. So, now I'm going to let my hair grow back out, from here. I'm also transitioning from 90 percent pants to skirts and dresses 95 percent of the time. I didn't grow up this way. My mother graduated high school in 1961 and has worn pants since I've been a child (the 70s). She used to wear dresses to church. I was never taught about modesty and Godly womanhood. Mom IS a lady, but I don't think she knows God's Word cause she doesn't like reading. She's in church every Sunday .......My dad is in church every Sunday, too. He never talked to me about being a woman of God ... Neither did my second husband. It is my third husband whom I've known for three full years today--- that brought my attention to how a Godly woman dresses. He wasn't bossy or mean about it. He asked a couple days ago what I was watching on my phone. I told him it was videos on modesty. For two days now I've worn skirts. He noticed. Bought me four tie dye tees in larger size than I usually wear. I wore one today with my skirt and he liked it.

“Biblically marital roles” 🙋🏻‍♀️ haha yes **subscribed**

also like the backgroud ambiance

I still wear pants but I want to buy more house dresses because it's easy and comfortable but cute. I'm almost 9 months pregnant right now so I'm waiting to after delivery to go shopping for more clothes 😊 I'm not so much a skirt person but I like dresses because it's one piece. Pants can be very feminine still if you wear a cute blouse and shoes plus accessories like earrings. That's what I do.

what´s that parfume in the backround?

Love your video

Why I am crying to this ❤❤❤ I feel deeply about this

Great video 🥰

Man 46....wear skirts and dresses and completely understand your view...(it is not as supposed to be) But I always think people are free. I ask nothing more the nregular respect. I also wish more women would wear dresses...but thats not the case. I like it becasuse it looks so much more playfull than pants and hoodies. I would like a discussion about this with you.

I love that you are finding what you feel beautiful in and that it makes you feel confident in your identity!! While I think there are potentially some inherent 'biblical' trails of masculinity and femininity, I think when it comes to clothing and our outside appearance, most of it really doesn't matter. I personally love embracing my femininity by wearing dresses, skirts, and I also dream of one day being a homemaker along with some other traditionally feminine things, but I don't think Harry Styles wearing a dress or society moving to a more androgynous way of dress has to put our personal forms of expression at risk. I just feel like we all approach life differently and especially when it comes to material items, we all can have vastly different interpretations and meanings for them. While dressing traditionally feminine by wearing skirts and dresses makes us feel feminine, it doesn't mean that Harry Styles sees himself wearing a dress in the same way. If we start to claim that men can't get away with skirts (implying that skirts are only supposed to be worn by women), then we start imparting our beliefs on other that (in my opinion) aren't biblical. As far as I know, the Bible doesn't specify the exact pieces of clothing that are inherently male or female. I'm still reading the Bible for the first time so I could be wrong! I hope this doesn't come across as negative, I just wanted to add to the conversation and to not shame anyone for dressing in the ways that make them feel like their true selves :)

Man's clothes aren't the most comfortable for me, most of the times they don't fit or they are rough and restricting. I wear skirts to work and in public, I haven't bought pants in several years. Most of my skirts are below the knee, and sometimes i wear dresses that fall above the knee, i also love having more options when it comes to styles.

Did you know that in Africa men wear traditional tunics and Jesus wore a tunic, and Arabic men wear tunics? I see your point but we all know the real issue is not the clothing.

The work started to crumble when women started "wearing the pants". Literally and figuratively!

The only thing I disagree on this video is that Harry Style's dress was gorgeous, that was the gown of my nightmeres XD. I was more into pants growing up, I think part of it comes from some experiences I had as a child that made me see femininity as something bad, as a (older) teen I realized I was being a bit silly and just focused on what I wanted do and wear but I didn't like dresses or skirts, what changed for me was getting a new job, I had to use my wordrobe to it's full capacity, when I was "forced" to use the dresses and skirts that where rotting away in my closet I realized I liked them and how I looked with them, unfortunatly this kind of ruined pants for me XD

Totally with you, trying to fit a curvy figure into trousers just doesn't do it for me, always uncomfortable.

Well done Ren.

Amen!

Omg men used to wear skirts it's not a new thing.

Yeee - ha!! Merci.

I am a Catholic and I think women look better in dresses and skirts because they accentuate their figures. I think women look better with feminine hairstyles too. I agree with you that it is a positive thing if women wear dresses and skirts modestly. The one thing I would disagree with you on though is that men can’t wear dresses and skirts full stop. I am heterosexual but I have always had crossdressing urges and suppressing them completely is not good for my mental health. Whilst I am not interested in wearing dresses or skirts in public and I am happy dressing and acting as a man most of the time I see no harm in dressing up in them in the privacy of my own home from time to time. I love the different styles & fabrics, I adore women and like feeling feminine. I am not in a relationship with a woman at the moment but if I was I would be open about my crossdressing urges because I know I would get caught out at some stage and I wouldn’t want a secret undermining the relationship. If she could not accept me doing a little bit of crossdressing when I am home alone then she would not be right for me.

Today, it dawn on me, men don't wear skirts or dresses because that is a female attire only! I just realized I don't want to wear pants because they are for men!.. I love wearing what no man wears! I'm woman!!! Thank you for sharing! I wear the skirt..it is the public sign that instantly says.. I am a female!!

do you wear leggings?what about in winter

Therr is nothing wrong in wearing skirts and dresses everyday if your lifestyle allows this but the reality for many women especially working class women is that we dont have this luxury when it comes to doing physical work which sometimes requires trousers for safety or is part of the uniform. If a woman goes hiking, horseriding, cycling, it would be immodest and dangerous not to wear trousers as its difficult to climb a mountain and do scrambling and hiking when wearing a skirt. A riding school won't even let you ride unless weaeing trousers. It's plain safety. Please consider those women that have to work for a living and do practical jobs to pay the bills as middle class women have more money and luxuries so don't need to do as much physical work.

For a past 2 months I started dressing up vintage in plaid style skirts and underneath good stockings and suspenders but like practical ones and when I have to wear trousers for my job I absolutely hate it. I never realised that skirts/ dresses can be so much more comfortable than trousers. I have short chunky legs and thighs and trousers are not flattering on me what so ever. Btw I’m a strong woman who knows what she wants and believe in freedom of choice for women and men but I still think that men are supposed to be men and women supposed to be women.

And what about that annoying trend that started in the 1929's where everyone had to wear short hair! Especially women over a certain age? ! I am almost 60 and refuse to cut my hair. Braids and buns all the way!

Men are so nice to me since I wear dresses.

No heels and no makeup, research and pray about it… and see. 💙

What is a romantic body type?? This sounds like a new term someone made up…. Jesus did not wear pants or slacks. And in Europe men were kilts which are skirts. Nope I don’t like men wearing dresses either, however there is a history. It’s something that you were taught that is “ wrong” for men to wear skirts or dresses. Men started wearing pants or trousers because of riding horses. Started in Asia in around 420-1000 BC. I love wearing dress.. only wear dresses in summer. Just sharing

I totally agree with you. We are man and women... Nothing more, nothing less! Only women SHOULD be wearing dresses! Thank you for sharing this!

Amen .. We should embrace our gender not try and change it ! Keep celebrating your womanhood ❤❤

Hi dear, I just wanted to highlight something you said regarding modesty depend on where you live. I don’t agree with that opinion of yours. The Bible said Jesus doesn’t change, he did the same yesterday and tomorrow and another verse says “….with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. ( James 1:17) because God doesn’t change so his word. Modesty it is the same wherever is your culture. People who belong to a kingdom look the same regardless of where they live.

A bit much of beating around the bush!

I believe we are aloud to wear either pants or dresses, your ancestors did not fight just so we could do this over again.

I love this video! I've just felt recently lead by God to switch to wearing skirts and dresses also. I feel empowered not only because it sends a signal that my husband wears the pants, but it's also a nonverbal protest of the blurring of the lines between male and female. God made humanity male and female. Period. And I think the differences in the two are beautiful. And I think they should stay distinct and not get blurred together. So yes by going traditional and wearing skirts and dresses only, I'm non verbally sending the message to God and the world that I believe in male and female and no inbetween and I embrace my femininity the way God made me.
