Girls Pushing for Modest Fashion Options

REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - During a recent shopping trip to Nordstrom, 11-year-old Ella Gunderson became frustrated with all the low-cut hip-huggers and skintight tops. So she wrote to the Seattle-based chain's executives to complain. The industry has been getting the message: A more modest look is in, fashion experts say.

The shy, bespectacled redhead has since become an instant media darling, appearing on national television over the past two weeks to promote modest fashions instead of the saucy looks popularized by the likes of Britney Spears.

``We like to call this new girl Miss Modesty,'' said Gigi Solif Schanen, fashion editor at Seventeen magazine. ``It's such a different feeling but still very pretty and feminine and sexy. It's just a little more covered up.''

Shoppers are starting to see higher waistlines and lower hemlines, and tweeds, fitted blazers and layers are expected to be big this fall, Schanen said.

What's important is that people choose to wear what is comfortable for them.

That's all.

I like my low-cut jeans.

Not a fan of ho-shirts though.

Good for her.

Has anyone ever walked into a mall lately? Apparently it takes a lot of guts not to dress like a tramp and wear whats right for you.

I like wearing nothing. But that's not legal in public. :(

what's a ho shirt?

A non-existant shirt.

Those shirts that barely cover what should be covered.

I remember Lady Godiva wearing one of those....I think she called it a hair shirt...
