As the years pass by, people are becoming open to the liberal approach of dressing up. In the past, people wore dresses that show just a little skin and leave a lot of the physical aspect of the wearer to imagination. But as the years went through, people have been more receptive to dress styles with deeper necklines and/or shorter hemlines. Dress styles such as thin strap dress, tube dress, and other forms of sleeveless dress have become more popular among the females. Even the styles of modern wedding dresses follow these trends. However, there are still some who stick to modest forms of clothing because of different reasons.

Some wear modest wedding dresses because it is part of their religion or culture, while some simply like to do so since they feel comfortable with it. Trends may come and go but it seems that modest dresses will always be around.

Ways to determine when a wedding dress is modest:

• Neckline – should not be as deep as exposing the cleavage area.
• Hemline – knee length or below
• Dress Style – simple
• Fabric – should not be see-through
• Sleeves – with sleeves, tube top can be layered with laced or embroidered top
