Dressing Daughters in Timeless Beauty

[@TheSimpleWren]

It is so refreshing to see other ladies teaching their daughters about classy, modest apparel. This video has lots of wisdom. Your daughters look beautiful in their dresses. xx Marissa

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for saying that, Marissa 🌹

[@annconroy9159]

I love the way you phrased it: "girls want to attract the male gaze". That's really what it is, isn't it? The boys are starting to "glance" at the girls in a way they never have before, and it is important that the mothers of the young daughters teach their girls how to appropriately gain the male's attention with beauty and poise. Thank you, Nikki!🥰

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you! Yes, it's vital we teach them those things 🌹

[@janetbrittain8020]

My daughter will turn 30 this fall. She recently thanked me for not allowing her to get a tattoo when she was younger. I told her then that her body was beautiful and she shouldn't get one. I told her how priceless she was. I also told her that I would buy her all the canvases she wanted to express herself there instead of tattoos on her body. My daughter now has two daughters of her own. Thank you for sharing your heart on this matter. Simply lovely.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

This was powerful, thank you so much for sharing as I feel I would say the same thing 🌹

[@bethany45101]

I am 33 and recently thanked my mother for the very same thing. No tattoos, no piercings other than my ear lobes… My mother was a class act and it impacted me in all areas of my life. Now as an adult woman I am so grateful for her guidance in my younger days, even if I didn’t like it then.

[@Julie-si3hi]

Watching a replay. This is a wonderful video that all mothers and daughters should watch and discuss together. Our daughter never orescribed to the skimpy fast fashion, she found her own style...was bulkied for it out if school, but stood firm in her beliefs...so proud of her.

[@gailfotheringham6150]

I made a decision many years ago as a teacher to ditch the trousers and wear skirts, heels, dresses etc.. as I saw a decline in the standard of clothing amongst the staff. Of course I got many comments ( often catty) but a few colleagues actually said to me that I’d inspired them to do the same and they ditched the trousers too. Amazing what happens when you make some changes and how it affects others . X

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's wonderful that you chose to lead by example in this way despite the catty comments. I remember how nice my teachers always looked, so professional but you're right, things have declined so much unfortunately.

[@cathywhitney5974]

I love young ladies to dress modestly, their mothers need to be a role models I’m so happily that there are moms that care.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Amen 🌹

[@Lwuergs]

Dear Nikki, your daughters are so blessed to have a wonderful mother like you! I hope they realize this and apply this wisdom in their hearts. I’m so glad you touched on this subject as it is so important in a time like this. Before I was saved, I didn’t know how much appearance affected the way people perceived me but also how I perceived myself. There has always been a push (even more so today) for young ladies to dress in a way that makes them appear…in lack of better words “easy”. I didn’t understand how modesty could be so freeing. Now dressing modest and feminine, it’s actually very eye opening to see how people will treat you. People will open doors for you, men are respectful, older folks will smile and greet you, and occasionally I get complimented for how I’m dressed. I even feel better about myself now that I’m not conforming to society’s standards by looking skimpy. Mostly, I dress like this to please God. Thank you for this video. God bless you. ❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you for writing that! This was very well written, I appreciate what you had to add to this conversation 🌹

[@Michele_6815]

What a lovely and inspiring video! One thing ladies of all ages need to remember is to look at yourself from ALL angles in a full length mirror. And move and bend etc… while doing so. Most of us are pretty ignorant of what we are showing to others when wearing something. I know I was.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you and that's wonderful advice 🌹

[@saraream133]

I admire your confidence and belief in your ideas! We should all learn to trust ourselves and dress as we please!

[@hannahkeusal5749]

Hello Nikki, thank you for this wonderful video, and for all your beautiful content! I remember first seeing your video about morning routines and I was and still am so blessed by your inspiration around femininity. My mother passed away when I was twelve, but I still remember her always making an effort to dress up nicely, even when she was just at home with us children. Your videos have filled a bit of the gap she left and I'm so thankful for another role model to be inspired by. You have such a lovely motherly passion for truth and beauty and I have been blessed by it. Thank you.

[@JRein-do1pv]

When I was in high school my friend used to say "it's snowing down South" meaning someone's slip was showing.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Yes, that's a good one!

[@The_faithful_princess]

Thank you for normalizing women wearing dresses! I made the switch early April and haven’t looked back since! Though I’ve definitely gotten unwarranted opinions on both ends of the spectrum haha but for the most part, it does turn heads and people are pretty friendly!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It's my pleasure! That's so nice that you made that switch. I hope you continue to feel beautiful🌹

[@samantha_budhu]

Nikki, you are a wonderful example for your daughters and for women who come across your videos. Your daughters look beautiful in those dresses. 💖

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you, Samantha!

[@brandimullins3627]

I’m gonna put it out there and say that I’m a large lady. I’m still going to wear dresses! I don’t look right in any of them because of my body type but I’m loving dressing up!!!!

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

I’m not skinny either, but I love wearing dresses! My husband loves it too 😊

[@Michele_6815]

I am too, but personally I find dresses/skirts are actually more flattering and hide more than jeans or pants. 💕

[@julzluvzdollz]

I never knew how much I needed your content in my life. I watch your videos often. You help me realize the woman I am and it helps encourage me to show up as the woman I am I meant to be for my family. God is surely using you help women. Thank you for sharing your beautiful light with us ❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

What a beautiful and encouraging comment. Thank you so much! Continue to be that lovely Lady of the House 🌹

[@trishawall9619]

Loved this video! Thank you for making yourself vulnerable by talking about some things that can be controversial. You did a great job w/o sounding condescending or overly opinionated. 🥰

[@SarahDial-f5x]

I’m having fun Mrs. Nikki going back to your older videos now like this one. As a Mom of two daughters I loved this. Your two girls are SO pretty & no doubt they all are with such a beautiful Mother. You spoke so eloquently on this sweet subject and it reminded me of the talks I have had in the past with my daughters. It made me get a little teary eyed. Being a mother of two precious girls has been my life’s joy along with being married to my wonderful husband, their father. I enjoy your content so much and feel like I have found a soul sister who happens to live in Nevada. Please be encouraged to continue such thoughtful content with these lovely topics. I’ll keep looking forward to them. Be blessed & take care. 🙏💕~Sarah

[@Jamie_Behm0310]

I absolutely loved how you ended this video. The images of your daughters, then you walking on what looked like a country road. You looked so full of joy twirling in the sunlight then, the music along side it. It made me feel homesick for that joyful feeling. It was beautiful.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so glad, thank you for letting me know 🌹

[@kristiecox7350]

I love that linen blue dress, so cute on her! Man, they make the dresses look amazing! Amen on this topic. I’m sure it got some chatter.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you!

[@denisebiendarra5996]

I loved dressing my kids when they were younger-my daughter and even my son. I sewed some of my daughter’s clothes and especially liked sewing dresses for her. My daughter has a new baby boy (our first grandchild!) and has recently returned to wearing dresses.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It's such a fun time, my husband often says that time was our gift, especially as things increasingly get more difficult. That's so nice to know that your daughter has made a return to loveliness in that way 🌹

[@ncl-ibelieve8421]

I love dresses and I wear them. I'll be honest, I don't wear them everyday, but I do wear them regularly. I have only one child, and she is a young lady now. I am so happy that she is very modest. She also wears dresses regularly. I love the fact that she cares about looking beautiful. The clothing she wears show that she respects herself. She never wears anything that is revealing. I am blessed. Thanks for this video. Your daughters are beautiful young ladies.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

That's wonderful! Thank you for sharing this, it's an encouragement for sure 🌹

[@10024westsidenyc]

Thank you for this! This is even helpful for grown women trying to change how they dress, update their manners and just their general femininity journey. Many of us lack certain important information on being a proper lady. I agree about asking men what they think. What they think is important if we want to have great relationships with them. One interesting thing that I've learned about sitting properly a few years ago is something called the Windsor and half Windsor sit, it's the way the Queen of England used to sit and how the Royal family teaches their ladies to sit. When you said you have England as the code word for your kids it made me think of the proper way that the Queen sits. In today's modern world, it's so important to counter act the pop culture by teaching girls and teens traditional lady-like behavior. I think It will serve them well and allow them to have successful lives.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I love learning about the sitting styles of the royals. I’m so glad you enjoyed this and found it helpful 🌹

[@junipergardener6711]

Looking in a mirror. Such good advice. Just wish more women would do this before leaving home. You and your daughters are setting a wonderful example to women. Classy is the word that comes to mind.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you kindly 🌹

[@lisamandel8816]

I love how gracefully and thoroughly you go through this controversial topic. I did not always dress modestly and certainly not in skirts and dresses and I truly wish this was a standard I had through my whole life. I also have tattoos with great regret. Love love love the “London” idea! I have been stuck several times trying to subtly correct the way my daughters are sitting! Thank you!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I'm so happy you enjoyed this and found "London" to be helpful!

[@stephaniebailey2267]

Having four daughters I struggled this year finding modest swimwear! Thankfully my daughters are pretty fine with whatever I end up getting, but I'm shocked at how skimpy swimsuits for young girls are nowadays!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I agree, it's so hard. Try daintyjewells.com

[@katie7748]

Ugh. Yes. We went to a "family campground" a couple years ago to spend the day at the lake there. We never even chose a spot on the beach. Too many thong style "bikinis" on the mothers as well as teenaged daughters. I am no prude by any means, but I was appalled. My husband and I glanced around, then at each other, and promptly led our children back to the van. They were disappointed but we did not want them exposed (quite literally!) to that. After explaining it, they understood and agreed. Our eldest is 16 and has made remarks on numerous occasions how repulsed she is by the way other girls her age dress.

[@lindahenderson1625]

What is horrifying is how the mothers dress sometimes!! Thank you for being a wonderful example to your daughters, women and young ladies. It’s becoming a wonderful trend. That I hope endures. My Dad used to say that a woman was sexier with clothes on. Clothes emphasize our femininity and a man is drawn to the entire look, not a particular area per se. I agree. Too much skin seems to cry out “look at me.” However, it is the spirit that matters when it comes to meaningful relationships.

[@jenniferhoffman2715]

I don't wear dresses everyday hardly ever but I have to say I do dress modestly so it's very happy to me when I see young girls dressing modestly also

[@stephaniedegange2737]

[@rose.g.belfort71]

Hi Nikki. First let me tell you that I love your dress. The flower print is beautiful. Elegant and so feminine. Second, I totally agree with you. The external influence of social networks, movies and fellow students, can make our girls want to look sexy instead of beautiful. It's a topic to discuss with them without a doubt. I think it's good to explain to them that the image they build today will serve tomorrow. Although it is not only about image, but about self-respect. Your girls are enormous and model very well. They went out to their mother. I send blessings and much love❤🌹🥰

[@thamingobeni7075]

Thank you so much, Nikki. I've been waiting for this video. I'm raising two daughters and a son. My daughters are 5 and 10. It has been a joy dressing them. I'm aware that as they grow, they will have their own style, which can be influenced by the culture. I've been trying my best to instill good values and lead by example. They are great kids, and I know they will keep my teachings. Your guidelines will help a lot. Part two on this topic will be appreciated. Sending my love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦

Hi Nikki what a wonderful video, loved seeing your daughter's in their lovely dresses. So elegant the both of them. You must be very proud Nikki you are doing a fabulous job in raising them to be ladies. One of my granddaughter's went through the stage of torn jeans, but now at 19yrs old she is wearing lovely dresses. My other Granddaughter is 13yrs and she really looks at what Chloe is wearing and wants to be the same. Speaking nicely and good manners are also ladylike. Thanks Nikki loved your video. ❤❤

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Each has their challenges just as we did 🌹

[@jessicasmoker7389]

Yes, I do enjoy dressing in what I love! Which is floral dresses, usually. Or pretty solid dresses. I’m in my early 40s. I used to wear tops and skirts a lot more, but I find that it be more difficult and not as much my style. Especially most denim skirts. I wore those a lot in the 1990s in my teens, but I just don’t care for it as much now.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I used to love wearing a denim skirt as well. Your wardrobe sounds lovely 🌹

[@BroMandi16]

4:48 That was SO refreshing to hear, and I even think this is the first time i've ever heard something like that. I have had feelings of guilt and even felt kinda dirty for wanting to attract male attention. But you are 100% right it is a NATURAL thing for both men and women to want to atract the opposite sex with the way we dress and there's nothing wrong with that. Of course that is not the only reason why we choose a certain piece of clothing, but is part of that, specially if you are single (am currently single :3☺️). Thank u so much for this video Nikki ^^ your daugthers are beautiful btw 💕

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you! We most certainly should concern ourselves with what men find to be beautiful as well and what's funny is that it's the complete opposite of what society is pushing. Attracting the right man with vulgarity, aggressive demeanor and an uncomely appearance just doesn't add up 🌹

[@sophiajohnson8608]

I posted a comment earlier, but it seems that my computer may have glitched and deleted it, unfortunately. If you see two of the same types of comments from me, I apologize. I agree with your sentiments, and, as Nikki mentioned, that there is a difference between dressing beautifully and dressing sensually. Both are attractive to men, but they attract different types of men. A lady should never make compromises with regard to modesty. I am reminded of a friend of mine who desires to marry. Her father tells her to wear shorter skirts if she wishes to catch the attention of men, but she wisely refuses. However, neither does she wear potato sacks. She has very lovely, feminine dresses and skirts that modestly conceal her form while also flattering her. When I first began wearing dresses and skirts, I was not sure how to dress, but I have taken inspiration from historical fashion. I find that the nicest dresses are fitted (but not tight) at the waist, with long, full skirts. Here are a few examples I have found from Instagram. Not all of them are perfect, but they still give a general idea of what I'm referencing. instagram.com/p/CdfeyxGqNeD/?img_index=3 instagram.com/p/Cv2K7-9IJkB/ instagram.com/p/Cum9P6xN4U8/?img_index=6 instagram.com/p/CsO_8PZrtGm/ instagram.com/p/CuSxfeLgI56/ instagram.com/p/CsedOWYtiHw/?img_index=1

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

I’m happy to see that young women are wanting more for themselves and keeping high but realistic standards for themselves and their future partners. They are realizing that dressing and acting like a 304 may attract attention, but it attracts the WRONG kind of attention, and they’re learning (either through others or unfortunately with their own experience) that they’re getting men who have the WRONG intentions. I think it’s reflecting with the “old money aesthetic” trend as well as more young women learning from content creators who focus on elegance and etiquette AND putting it into practice.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Exactly, thank you for your thoughts on this, Jennifer!

[@JacquelineLP]

I have talked countless times with my daughter about modesty but she is her own person and she will do what she wants. She is very strong headed and independent our eldest son is looking for a lady that's modest to settle down with. Unfortunately that's not how society teaches our children and the new generations to come! I was a tomboy hated dresses and did not care for that male attention. My daughter is very strong willed so even with her going on 21 like I said she will do what she wants. I never dressed revealing while raising this girl! It's so frustrating! Took her to secret keeper girl events the whole 9 yards! Yet she still has her own mind. Can't change her mind. So I am choosing peace within our relationship and treasuring what we do have in our relationship! Maybe some day she'll come around. But yes this is a great reminder and message to others regarding modesty! I honestly don't care about clothing. Never have. But can't walk around naked! Lol! 🤣👍🏽🌹( both of my adult kids have tattoos like I said they are their own individuals no one should be judged due to being expressive-regarding tattoos)

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I hope your eldest son finds his lady. That is true, society has a way of teaching that isn't right but there are plenty of parents doing the hard work of raising their daughters to be ladies and sons to be gentlemen. I'm confident that she is out there. When you think about it, everything we display for others to see opens us up to judgement, it's just the way it is. That's why I ask, "What are we saying?"

[@justsewit_tk5477]

I make my children's clothes. They are influenced by peers and media. However, I feel that it is important for them to explore their personal style with some gentle guidance from mum. My youngest is 8 and she still loves the frill but our lifestyle doesn't call for frilly so the special dresses aren't as abundant in her wardrobe. She wears a school uniform so the dilemma of getting dressed daily is taken away. I teach my girls (and my son) that dressing is for our own comfort. Of course dress appropriately for the occasion but dress in a way that is classic and stylish.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I loved when my kids wore school uniforms. I wish all schools required them. Great advice 🌹

[@lindaleclair8938]

Lovely!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

Thank you 🌹

[@shannonbardwell1125]

If only every mother, grandmother, friend, took the time and patience to explain to young women why modesty is so important inside and out. Unfortunately, the outside world does judge who we are by the way we present ourselves. I wish I had listened when I was younger.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

It takes some of us longer than others to realize the great wisdom shared with us over the years. So many times we shut our ears because it's not what we want to hear.

[@jeanab3840]

This video is so timely! My husband just came in 30 min ago talking about our daughter and she plays basketball and sometimes wears the uniform around. He spoke that he doesn’t like that (except for actually playing ball) because it’s not feminine at all, but nothing like that for daily wear. I agreed completely. I’m just glad he spoke up! And thankful for your video today.

[@lovemyshipoo]

I did not have any daughters...all boys now grown men but I am curious to know, especially in current times, are your girls bullied in any way at school for dressing so lady like or have you found that they actually become mentors for some of the other girls in that they too have begun dressing more modestly? Your daughters look so nice in their dresses. It is wonderful that you are teaching them how to be a young lady.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

My girls always receive such kind compliments at school when they wear dresses. My oldest daughter wears them every day and on the last day of school was even told by a staff member that he appreciated how professional she looks each day.

[@lovemyshipoo]

@@TheLadyoftheHouse that is wonderful.

[@jenniferb.7250]

Nikki, your daughters did a wonderful job modeling the dresses! It is truly a battle with daughters and society and the world that they are faced with. I have work with both of my girls on this and it has been incredibly difficult with my youngest where the styles switched from longer shirts to crop style shirts. You presented some great ideas on how to talk to daughters that I think would be helpful. They both respected my guidelines, but I definitely got a lot of pushback, I’m hoping when they are older, they will understand more.

Most women dress for themselves or to impress other women not to impress men.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

This is true. It's no wonder why so many women are missing the mark when it comes to dressing beautifully and why nobody is impressed.

They make little girls clothes so skimpy now days and that’s terrible to me!

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I agree!

[@eyoung8215]

respectfully you should be a little careful with your neckline - its too low.

[@TheLadyoftheHouse]

I appreciate your opinion, everyone feels differently about such things and it’s truly something we each must determine ourselves. What seems right to you may not be to me and vice versa.
