The Rising Pace of Modest Fashion.
A rare gem in our todays fashion sector "Liz Roy" started Downtown Demure; to her; she had no desire to post photos of herself online, let alone make her blog into a serious venture. The idea for the site came to her soon after she converted to Christianity four years ago. As part of her conversion, she purged her closet of tight, revealing dresses and picked up pieces that covered her at least between her chest and knees. To help her transition, she started a Tumblr to catalogue inspirations for modest dress — only to find that more women were looking for the same thing. Even though Roy’s parents were culturally Christian, they did not understand Roy’s choice to embrace a much stricter code of value that her new life style as a christain represent. Nor did her friends, who were mostly secular. It didn’t help that, for Roy, it was important to use visible evidence to demonstrate her religious beliefs. “Clothing is the easiest way to tell people who you are and what you value,” she explains. “But I also decided to create a blog to explain to people around me what I was doing.”
Roy is already hopeful about what women are choosing these days. “We’re moving away from an era of ostentatious and revealing clothing,” she says. “I love that women are opening up to the idea that a conservative dress code can also be empowering.”
