We did it to and called the project The Cinderella Project! It was such an amazing experience. We also had an afternoon spent in classes with themes like "So your carriage turned into a Pumpkin = overcoming hard times, "What to wear to the Ball" = seminary on how to dress your body type. It was an amazing day! We also learned that each girl who would borrow a dress would also learn how to peruse their dreams in furthering there education.
I love being Mormon. It's not cool to dress inappropriate or get piercings or tattoos. An we all look like strong clean righteous youth for these days. I'm proud of it too. Thanks for the vid.
Hey Everyone! I was so moved by this video. Im an LDS youtuber with a modest clothing line and I'd love for you to join me on my channel. I post weekly videos on fashion, beatuy, life advice and always end them with a Spiritual focus of the week.
Her younger sister came and spoke at a fireside and talked about continuing the project. You could sense her strong positive example and the spirit shining through her life.
@justshootme2011 we are discouraged from wearing anything that is too revealing, tight or short. we believe that our bodies are temples and that we should do our best to keep it sacred. wearing modest clothing is one of the ways we could do that. :)
i love how your name is charity, and you kind of preformed one. i actually really love that name. and that sounds like a great personal progress project :D
Modesty. A forgotten thing among sooo many endowed/sealed married Mormon women. The ones in my ward dress way too sexy and way to fancy to be considered anything but worldly.
As a mother with 3 young daughters ages 9 and under I think this is the most fabulous idea ever. Thank you for being such an amazing example to all the YW out there. I know how important it is to dress modestly and strive to keep my girls dressing modest even at the young ages they are, so when they get older there is no question as what they should or shouldn't wear. What an awesome thing you are doing, so thank you! :)
This is brilliant! I wish this could happen in the UK! I am just so glad I was able to find a suitable dress that wasn't too expensive!
I especially loved the point raised by Charity's mother when she said it is so important for us to follow our leaders' counsel. It pains me to see girls who are willing to be immodest for that one night, just to fit in. Here's to integrity! :)
Fishers 1st Ward in Central Indiana has started a similar project. Each year they take the dresses they have collected and do a fashion show for the mothers and daughters. At the end of prom, even more dresses are added to the collection for next year's show and for "rental" by the young women of the community. To see the Young Women keeping the bar high is a true great blessing in our community.
@rattler0812 I am starting one here in El Paso Tx but I'm getting a lot of mumbo jumbo about registering with the city and such did you have this issue?
This is such a brilliant idea,in england it should work for church dances as well,i love the dresses shown on this film,and i am glad this will continue,well done.
all LDS girls take this lesson to heart. because i'm an RM and refuse to marry or date a girl who ever makes exceptions to church standards. I know it's not easy,but then agian, i don't recall the Lord or any of his prophets saying it would be. i've got 2 older sisters now happily married, who never gave their standards up or lowered them at any point. they both got amazing returned missionaries. So... to charity, and her sister jessica, i say, well done, good for you and keep it up!
It is marvelous that there are some of you young ladies out there who are doing something about this. Immodesty is a breeding ground for so many ugly and disgusting sins. Plus, for some of us men it is quite distracting. Especially those that are going through a Repentance Process. Keep up the good work and don't compromise your standards, ever. No matter how unpopular they might be. You will be respected for it in the long run.
This kind of made me cry. I want to be modest! So much! But its so hard- I can't find anything modest (and affordable while we're at it haha). And I'm torn between conflicting desires and you guys are so lucky you have other people to strengthen you and be modest with you at your school. And I WILL wear something modest.. because its the right thing to do. But I'm afraid I'll feel insecure and I don't know... "uglier" and different to everyone else. But the project is wonderful :) Great job!!
@dsmomof3 Sue's Closet is alwaysaccepting donations if you would be willing to make some shrugs or donate some dresses. Sue's Cloest is located in Mesa at 520 N Emerson, Mesa AZ 85201. You can send the dresses there. Thanks so much! Also, if you live in the valley someone could come pick them up from you. Email Melanie Brown at mellybelly555@yahoo.com to schedule a time for her to get the dresses. Thanks so much for your support!
I am a YW leader in Mesa and I think this is a great idea! Any one know how do get our YW in contact with the Fullmers, so our YW can have the opportunity to possibly "rent" a dress?
@stacygu3 Jessica Fuller is the young women in charge of Sue's Closet now. You can reach her at 480-464-5456 or you can talk to Melanie Brown who is also working on the project. Her number is 480-567-6822. Good Luck!
Hey Fullers! Nice to see you made the big time :) We think of you guys and the good times in Cache Valley! It's amazing to see how grown up your girls are. Seems just like just yesterday your house was "stuck" to ours. Andrew & Kimberly
@WendeShift hold up, these guys are from cache valley? that's awesome, i didn't know that. I live in cache valley too, not that anyone should care, just thought i'd throw that out there. I'm glad to see these girls are taking their standards to heart.
Amazing, and such a great idea! I am so proud of your righteous desires to make a difference in this world! And Sue, it was so absolutely wonderful seeing you again! You are so cool!!!!
This may come off as trite, but I promise it's a sincere question: Why are Mormons so afraid of shoulders? I honestly just don't understand the apparent obsession with covering them up.
@Kreature8888 That's a fair question,it's not that we're afraid of them, but it's a standard that our church leaders and prophet have set for us and that we choose to accept for ourselves. When I wore tank tops in high school I was always adjusting the straps, and it was distracting for me and those around me. Now that I'm older I wear shirts with sleeves so I feel comfortable in public and with my family and friends, and also to show respect for my body and for the guidance of a prophet of God.
Hi. Mormons are not "afraid" of shoulders nor are they "obsessed" with covering them up. We simply feel it is immodest to be revealing. When you start showing shoulders, you want to start showing more chest, then more back. Then you start wanting to show more and more of other body parts. Where would you draw the line? Well we draw the line of modesty before what the world considers the norm. We believe beauty comes from the heart.
@Kreature8888 There are several reasons, many are individual. One answer is that it is not really an obsession with shoulders, we bear them often when we are wearing a swimsuit. It is more a commitment to preparing young people for what we believe will keep them strong in the faith and prepare them to make further covenants. Most of those covenants are made in the temple and members who have been to the temple wear undergarments that cover the shoulders as a symbol of the promises they have made
This is so wonderful. I am very glad that someone had the courage and diligence to put together this project. Modesty truly sets people apart from the world.
I saw this video on my facebook news feed and I have some dresses from when I was in high school that are modest and won't ever get to be worn again. Where can I send them?
@farnsworthlash Sue's Cloest is located in Mesa at 520 N Emerson, Mesa AZ 85201. You can send the dresses there. Thanks so much! Also, if you live in the valley someone could come pick them up from you. Email Melanie Brown at mellybelly555@yahoo.com to schedule a time for her to get the dresses.
I graduated a few years ago, and have several modest dresses that I would love to donate to this project. Is there a way I could do so even though I don't live in Mesa? Thanks!
@nrhinton90@farnsworthlash Sue's Cloest is located in Mesa at 520 N Emerson, Mesa AZ 85201. You can send the dresses there. Thanks so much! Also, if you live in the valley someone could come pick them up from you. Email Melanie Brown at mellybelly555@yahoo.com to schedule a time for her to get the dresses.
@pmtucker2 The three things that Sue's Closet needs are dresses, shrugs, and money to buy cloth to alter the dresses. if you would like to help with any of those things you can send it to Sue Brown's house (where Sue's Closet is located) at 520 N Emerson, Mesa AZ 85201. Thanks so much for your support!
This is wonderful! I hope my daughter grows up like this -- confident and beautiful and independent from the influences of the world. Thank you for your great example!
Wow, this is amazing. I go to a school that has strict guidelines for prom dresses and I really wish I had a place like this near me that I could get a modest dress. Keep up the great work (: Hopefully I'll be able to find one in the store and get alterations or something (:
This is amazing. I feel so lucky to live in Utah, where we have stores that sell only lds apropriate prom and wedding dresses. It's great to know other places can be so lucky too.
