There's a strange (and refreshing) fashion trend afoot with today's teenage girls: they're dressing modestly!
While skimpy clothes still dominate the fashion scene, today there's a flip side to girls gone wild.
Call it "girls gone mild" — a building modesty movement among many young women. "The young girls themselves, they are the ones leading the modesty revolution," said author Wendy Shalit.
The "modest fashion" these girls wear may not be to everyone's taste, but most looks are straight off the catwalk. A slick new magazine Eliza caters to the modest dresser. Shalit said the thousands of young women she'd heard from wanted to fit in and be cool, just not trashy.
These new modest fashionistas prefer their necklines higher and their hemlines lower — no more than four fingers above the knee.

Hey, I like my bloomers worn under a skirt. Very comfortable. In Texas heat they keep my legs cool.
And when I spent a weekend in Wisconsin after a recent blizzard, them full length longjohns came in mighty handy.
I swear, I wonder how these girls sit and get around school without a peep show!
I dont dought its coming, but I havent seen it
Hem lines follow the market.
Around here in the big city, teen girls usually wear jeans and t shirts. The immodestly dressed are the exception rather than the rule.
