I guess I was just hoping for something different from this book. I was expecting more about how to actually dress, in this book, and less about the why. I found the author spent more time discussing her political views, which I found repetitive, despite my agreement with many of them. The final chapter was pretty much all there was about the actual dressing and fashion suggestions. She also promoted her website and the links she provided to modest companies frequently throughout the book; however, when I went looking for it, it seems to be taken down and the author seems focusing on finances and life coaching now. I wouldn't recommend this book now. It may have been better back when it was originally written.

This was a great, unapologetically Catholic introduction to the importance of feminine modesty in dress. I would have enjoyed it even more had I not already researched the topic heavily, having written on it myself in the past. Some of what is said in this book will likely frustrated women, drowned as we are in feminist ideals, but it's worth reading all the way through and praying about. No one said striving for Sainthood would be comfortable :)
