Proud to be a member of the gospel because of members like you guys. Thank you

You girls look SO SO BEAUTIFUL. True beauty really comes through in a modest dress. You see the colors more vibrantly. Your face looks more beautiful. The heart and spirit of the girl is more noticeable. BEAUTIFUL.

Our stake in Indiana also has a similar project, and it's been such a blessing to have for the YW! I was able to find a modest dress that wasn't too expensive, but I have many friends that could not afford or did not want to spend money on a modest dress. This has been a great opportunity for many YW to find a modest dress for free and feel beautiful and still comfortable and modest at prom. I'm impressed by other girls that organize similar projects. It's a huge blessing for the girls and helps encourage modesty.

Thank you, LDS Youth. You inspire my life. :)

I love this video! It is one of my favorites.

Me too!

You go girl! Very refreshing and inspirational.

This is awesome. There should be more of us trying to come up with something like this that is productive.

Wonderful! Just wonderful! when there is a will there is a way. Love it that you are being such an example of service and modesty.

Choose your prom dress Like you would a friend To be your best With light to extend

it's amazing how one girl can give hope and inpiration to so many girls, Charity Thank you!

Hey that's my sister!

Her younger sister came and spoke at a fireside and talked about continuing the project. You could sense her strong positive example and the spirit shining through her life.

Fishers 1st Ward in Central Indiana has started a similar project. Each year they take the dresses they have collected and do a fashion show for the mothers and daughters. At the end of prom, even more dresses are added to the collection for next year's show and for "rental" by the young women of the community. To see the Young Women keeping the bar high is a true great blessing in our community.

I love this. We are having to have our daughters custom made. She has a very unique vintage style and I’m praying this dress comes out right. It has taken almost a year just to find a long, youthful, long sleeve dress that brings out her uniqueness.

This is so wonderful. I am very glad that someone had the courage and diligence to put together this project. Modesty truly sets people apart from the world.

I am male, and I really appriciate when girls and women show show selfrespect through for example how they dress! :) I Like modest, alot more then non-modest! :) Thank you all! :)

If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy we seek after these things.

The world needs to follow your example! Great job Fisher 1st ward AND Charity!!!

I needed to watch this! Sometimes I feel the youth of this time is just no good. You gave me hope, sweet Charity!

beautiful girl has a great heart and what a great personal progress project

Superb. Appreciate the work you folks are doing.

This is amazing. I feel so lucky to live in Utah, where we have stores that sell only lds apropriate prom and wedding dresses. It's great to know other places can be so lucky too.

This is amazing.

I hope you are doing well, even after these eight years :)

It is marvelous that there are some of you young ladies out there who are doing something about this. Immodesty is a breeding ground for so many ugly and disgusting sins. Plus, for some of us men it is quite distracting. Especially those that are going through a Repentance Process. Keep up the good work and don't compromise your standards, ever. No matter how unpopular they might be. You will be respected for it in the long run.

I wish every girl could see this and live by this. Should this happen world-wide, the effects would change the human race for the better.

Amazing, and such a great idea! I am so proud of your righteous desires to make a difference in this world! And Sue, it was so absolutely wonderful seeing you again! You are so cool!!!!

I love this. It's a great service and thinking "outside the box". Great idea!!! Great service!!!

🌹☕👏👏👏👏👏 wishing you all happy merry Christmas 🎄☃️ I am walking along with you..

Ooo pretty dresses!!

Outstanding.

@Kreature8888 There are several reasons, many are individual. One answer is that it is not really an obsession with shoulders, we bear them often when we are wearing a swimsuit. It is more a commitment to preparing young people for what we believe will keep them strong in the faith and prepare them to make further covenants. Most of those covenants are made in the temple and members who have been to the temple wear undergarments that cover the shoulders as a symbol of the promises they have made

This is wonderful! I hope my daughter grows up like this -- confident and beautiful and independent from the influences of the world. Thank you for your great example!

This kind of made me cry. I want to be modest! So much! But its so hard- I can't find anything modest (and affordable while we're at it haha). And I'm torn between conflicting desires and you guys are so lucky you have other people to strengthen you and be modest with you at your school. And I WILL wear something modest.. because its the right thing to do. But I'm afraid I'll feel insecure and I don't know... "uglier" and different to everyone else. But the project is wonderful :) Great job!!

Thank you for sharing this video with us. I am going to start a project myself here in Monterey, CA!!!

Very moving.... Thank you for sharing.... I would like to share this video to many moms and daughters here in the Philippines :)

Fantastic idea, all you gals looked absolutely beautiful!

I love this video❤ you help other members of the church across the globe to be model of modesty.

Wow, this is amazing. I go to a school that has strict guidelines for prom dresses and I really wish I had a place like this near me that I could get a modest dress. Keep up the great work (: Hopefully I'll be able to find one in the store and get alterations or something (:

What a regal idea for young women.

This is such a great video! It would be so amazing if they had a place near the temple where you could purchase or borrow appropriate and modest dresses! That would be so incredible!

I love this! What a great Idea.

Excellent idea!! Thanks for sharing it - keep the great work!

@Kreature8888 That's a fair question,it's not that we're afraid of them, but it's a standard that our church leaders and prophet have set for us and that we choose to accept for ourselves. When I wore tank tops in high school I was always adjusting the straps, and it was distracting for me and those around me. Now that I'm older I wear shirts with sleeves so I feel comfortable in public and with my family and friends, and also to show respect for my body and for the guidance of a prophet of God.

Good job ! You girls rock !!

I would refer you to Mormon.org. In our 'For The Strength of Youth' pamphlet, we are told to not do anything that would 'arouse those feelings and emotions that should only be expressed in marriage.' In short, if it makes another person feel lusty to any degree, we shy away from it.

I have a class with Charity at BYU-Idaho. She really is as sweet as she comes across in the video :)

Hey Fullers! Nice to see you made the big time :) We think of you guys and the good times in Cache Valley! It's amazing to see how grown up your girls are. Seems just like just yesterday your house was "stuck" to ours. Andrew & Kimberly

i love this!!!!!

Thanks for the vis

This is awesome. I only hope my own daughters will have access to something like this. :-)

I live in Mesa Arizona too!

I love the idea. Hugs from Chile

What fabulous idea! Kudos! :-)

@Kreature8888 Hi. Mormons are not "afraid" of shoulders nor are they "obsessed" with covering them up. We simply feel it is immodest to be revealing. When you start showing shoulders, you want to start showing more chest, then more back. Then you start wanting to show more and more of other body parts. Where would you draw the line? Well we draw the line of modesty before what the world considers the norm. We believe beauty comes from the heart.

She is SO sweet!

Mesa ROCKS! And so does this video.

That's such a good idea!!

How awesome! It is very hard to find modest prom dresses in Russia, too! I might borrow the idea ;-) Great job!!

@pmtucker2 The three things that Sue's Closet needs are dresses, shrugs, and money to buy cloth to alter the dresses. if you would like to help with any of those things you can send it to Sue Brown's house (where Sue's Closet is located) at 520 N Emerson, Mesa AZ 85201. Thanks so much for your support!

i love how your name is charity, and you kind of preformed one. i actually really love that name. and that sounds like a great personal progress project :D

Abby's Closet does the same thing in Portland Oregon

lovely videooo!!!!

What a fantastic idea!!! Would love to help somehow.

This is one of the countless reasons why latter-day saint women are the best!! Now I've just gotta find one that can put up with me, ha ha ha!

I am a YW leader in Mesa and I think this is a great idea! Any one know how do get our YW in contact with the Fullmers, so our YW can have the opportunity to possibly "rent" a dress?

is this video en spanish also? I'd like to share it with my young women! thank you

a friend sent me this , very inspirational first time I don't feel like someone wants to brainwash me . but what do you mean by modest?

@justshootme2011 we are discouraged from wearing anything that is too revealing, tight or short. we believe that our bodies are temples and that we should do our best to keep it sacred. wearing modest clothing is one of the ways we could do that. :)

I really love this video being a young women or a daughter of god.we have standards to obey him.its OK to be a different a good example to others..

It is hard to find modest clothes in general though! Since so many people just want non modest clothing, that’s what we get from clothing companies

So many amazing dresses, and unfortunately theres alot these days that are very revealing which is far less easy for especially for the youngest womens to find dresses that are less costly and more appropriate to wear while resisting the temptation from Satan. I'm glad what she did what the most rightful thing to do especially for the Lord. This is what the Lord wanted. This is the way for young womens to become more and more worthy for Heavenly Father. This will help them learn little more about how to become modest and clean. And as they grow, when they graduate from High school and be endowed to the temple, they will become faithfully and spiritually strong against the temptations as they wear their garments throughout the lifetime, and theyll become more self sufficient.

Wearing clothing that protects your body. Or in other words, something that covers your body in a way that you would be ale to wear andstandproudly in front of god. Its not exactly modest because Im still learning, but I hope it helped. =]

@justshootme2011 we shouldn't wear scimpy shorts. knee length shorts are prefered. :D

(ran out of room in my last post) Anyway, just something to think about. :)

shes pretty cute

High end clothing, bug food. Treasure less than, sermon on the mount.

this was posted in 2011. some dresses then were immodest, but now it is 2020 and the dresses now are just....way more immodest and revealing. we need to have strong standards especially now.

This may come off as trite, but I promise it's a sincere question: Why are Mormons so afraid of shoulders? I honestly just don't understand the apparent obsession with covering them up.
