Paper Dolls - Talk about the importance of modest clothing.  Using various old magazines, have the girls cut out modest clothing. Cut out paper dolls and put on modest clothes.
Shopping Modestly
Shopping Modestly - Talk about church standards of dress and how this shows respect our bodies. Then go to a clothing store and have a scavenger hunt for modest clothes. Pair the girls up and tell them to find 2 out of 3 of the following outfits: beach attire, church, casual/school. Then the girls try on the clothes and model them because sometimes clothes that are modest on the rack might not be when you put it on. Basically Help the girls learn that dressing modestly still allows you to be in style but might need some creativity and right choices. (Idea by Shana Windham)
Something fun we did was focus on personal hygiene and dress. We had a few of they Young Women come in with an obvious flaw they didn't pay attention to (didn't brush their hair, dirty/wrinkled clothes on, too tight of a shirt, etc.)--and then the girls were able to observe just how those things looked. The they went out, fixed themselves up nicely--brushed hair, clean clothes, modest apparel, etc. and we observed how beautiful they looked. We read some quotes out of the "For Strength of Youth" manual. It was such a hit--the girls really loved it!! We made a special point to the girls not to judge others on these issues, but to understand the difference it makes to pay attention to yourself in wholesome ways and how it helps the beauty inside shine forth.

Spring Fling - I just wanted to share with you a "Fashion Show" idea I've done in two different wards. We called it the "Spring Fling". As leaders we collected (just about anything) for a couple of months prior: crepe paper, bows, napkins, straws, yarn, paper cups, butcher paper, etc. And, we brought a box of large black garbage bags.  We put two girls with moms in each room (for laughs and support) and the girls designed a dress for their mom. They were wild and fun. We then had a fashion show. We made a little form for the girls to fill out with info like: dress name, models name and then the girls wrote the description of the dress. We had a person act as our hostess for the evening and read the descriptions as each mom went down the fashion show ramp. We then took pictures of the mom and daughters together.  It was great fun and we were surprised that some of the shy moms came out of their shells and surprised us! (Idea by Carol Snider)
