Church dresses should be modest, but pretty, beautiful, but not provoking, and humble, but not boring. Sounds like a hard job to find such dresses? Not anymore! I’ve selected for you the best choices that can make your wardrobe full.
A few of the dresses are from my store and the other ones are from different places, yet all of them are modest and pretty.

Church Dress Code
Church is not a company that requires you to wear specific clothes, but it is also not a local bakery to which you can wear whatever you want.
I honestly do not understand why some people do not want to dress up nicely to church. Yeah, I know, God accepts us even in sweatpants – sometimes especially in sweatpants – but still… I mean, you are going before the Throne of God. And such an occasion deserves your best clothes.
You do not need to wear high heels and half a kilo of glitter, but putting on a neat, lovely dress would certainly be a nice gesture.
Also, your body is a temple so wearing too revealing or too thigh clothes is not a good idea. Ever. Not only in the church.
Church Dresses – 1. White and Pure
White, modest dress is a must-have for every Christian woman. It looks pretty but also sends a message about purity.
It does not have to have long sleeves, especially when you need a church dress for summer, but it should reach your knees minimally. This is not official info from the Book of Numbers for a proper dress to reach 3 cm under the knee length, but if you expose your thighs it might seem inappropriate.
Modesty does not have specific rules, it is rater based on a feeling if something is modest or not anymore.
Anyway, a simple white dress – you can never go wrong with that. Add it to your church dresses collection!
2. The Last Dot of The Bible
Dots are romantic and cute patterns – the right length and design and hey, you have a perfect church dress.
Such a dress is timeless and will never stop being trendy. Goes with everything and sends retro vibes.
Honestly, I do not know a woman who wouldn’t look cute in such a dress.
So go ahead and make sure the retro polka-dot dress is in your wardrobe!
3. Long as Psalm 119
Long, maxi dresses will always have a modest vibe. If the upper part is nicely covered too, of course.
You can look elegant and modest in such a dress, plus you can style it for every season.
I’ve heard a nice quote about modesty which said “Beautiful things do not scream for attention”. And such a dress certainly does not, but covers your body beautifully.
Generally long, boho dresses are a symbol of modesty – they certainly bring glory to God.
4. Floral Eden
Flowers are lovely, feminine patterns – imagine that there is a modest, long-sleeved dress having this pattern.
It’s totally a must-have for every Christian lady to have a floral dress. It will look beautiful in the spring season.
Flowers are such lovely God’s creatures and using them in fashion is always a good idea.
Whenever you do not know what dress to wear to church – a modest, floral one will do!
5. Modest like Ruth’s Garment Summer Dress
It is not easy to find a comfortable, modest summer dress. But hey, I’ve got you.
Cute, light, and in a happy color – that’s exactly what you need.
This one is inspired by La La Land musical, so it is also… cinematic. Covers everything nicely, is tighter on the waist, and looks very happy.
6. Church Dresses Elegant Like Solomon’s Robes
If you like fashion and want not only look modest, but chic and elegant, the navy blue dress will do it for you.
Perfect for date nights, more special occasions but also for church.
It is good to have more extravagant dresses among more casual ones – so that when it’s Easter, Christmas, or any other celebration you can look even more festive!
7. Unique Like 1 Out of 100 sheep
Modest is not boring – among modest clothes, you can find original ones that suit your style perfectly.
I like vibrant colors and typical modest dresses are usually not as vivid. But who cares? Places such as Amazon offer a big variety.
And if you aim at something even more original, I have a few colorful vintage options in my store.
Do not let anybody tell you that modesty is hiding your body only- the big part of it is also exposing your soul!
Since I bought mine in a thrift store some years ago, I did not find the same one. But here is something similar enough if my outfit inspired you.
8. Church Dresses Vintage Style as the Best Wine From the Water
In older times it was more popular to dress up modestly. Actually, it was even required, and provocative clothes were seen as a lack of good taste.
So cute, vintage dress should hang in your modest wardrobe. Perfect for the church but for Christian parties as well.
Vintage dresses communicate that not only you have a timeless taste but that you carry high values wherever you go.
The Best Part About Picking Church Dresses is…
Shopping of course! Choosing, getting inspired, putting on a new dress, and then wearing it to church for many Sundays ahead.
We all have different needs and if you feel like having 8 dresses is too much, then you can just as well be happy having two. Quality over quantity!
But on the other hand, if you like dressing up for the Lord and having a wide choice, as long as you do not overspend on clothes or preoccupy your head (or heart!) with them, you can have more than 8.
It is all about glorying God. And every single dress you buy should achieve this very goal.
