Have you noticed how the clothes seem to be getting more and more skimpy? Well, they are! When I look in the girls section for clothes that are "my size" (which is supposed to be 12 or 14) I am always really disappointed when I try them on. Too short, too low, too see-through, too tight, shows my midriff.....on and on the list seems to go. So, my solution-go to the ladies section, and buy x-small or small. This usually takes care of several of the modesty issues. So, my first group of pictures shows dresses from the ladies section with minor alterations to make them modest. | ||||||||||||

When you are choosing a tank to compliment your dress, here are a few tips:
*Try to find a color that is only hinted at on the dress fabric. As shown above, I found a dress that has dark pink flowers on a cream background, and on each flower, there is a coral colored center. I chose a coral top to go with that dress. The Hawaiian dress is mostly dark blues, so the light blue shirt compliments it well. It also would look cute with a yellow, orange, or black top.
*Stay away from white tanks or ones with lace on them. It is too suggestive of undergarments.
