    That surprises me! I LOVE to wear dresses and skirts- any excuse is great for me! Especially in summer, when the less clingy clothes you have, the better! Much cooler than pants. The girls I do know who don't like dresses say that it is because they are self conscious about their legs. Most girls these days don't wear hose or tights anymore, so that's not an issue. Though I hated hose as a child!

    Random story- When my mother was in high school, they wouldn't allow the girls to wear slacks or pedal-pushers, but mom remembers her dresses being so short, she had to tug onthem to have something to sit on! A lot of sense that made!

    As far as which is more modest, it definitely depends on the cut- jeans can look painted on and skirts can be WAY too short! I guess it all depends on the woman and her preferences!

    I can definitely see though, why men like kilts, such freedom! Though, I could NEVER go bare under a dress or skirt! That's too much of a breeze for a lady I'd say!

    Thanks. For over 30 years, she has been the prettiest woman in the room to me.

    My wife and I were in Wally-world just this last Friday and she made the comment that there didn't seem to be any skirts at all in the ladies department.
    She went on to say that the only time she has seen anything decent in skirts or dresses was at seasonal times like Christmas and Easter. I know when I worked at Penney's there always at least seemed to be skirts on the racks but even then I saw few dresses.

    I will agree that there is no more modest garment for the ladies than a skirt. I might add that the kilt is a modest garment for men too barring a wind too strong or a kilt made too light. LOL!

    Here in my area of Virginia, it is much more common to see African American women wearing skirts or dresses than it is for Caucasian women. I wish more women wore them.

    We live over the other side of the Potomac in Maryland. My wife always wears skirts, and one of the few places she has found much selection is in a store near the DC line in a black neighbourhood. Mind you, you might say the complexion of our town has darkened a bit, so theoretically her shopping choices should improve locally!
