More young women want to return to modesty – the no-tank-tops-without-a-shirt-or-sweater, the not-too-short-shorts, and the modest-neckline (no lower than four fingers below the collar bone) type of modesty. And that also includes the curfew and abstinence-until-marriage pledge.

It's what Lucky magazine's special projects director, Allyson Waterman, calls a "backlash" to what is being seen in Hollywood. Being modest, as opposed to the barely dressed pop icons, isn't about being frumpy, Waterman told ABC News.

"This is about embracing a woman's body in an elegant way."

Pure Fashion is an international faith-based program that encourages pre-teen and teen girls to live, act and dress in accordance with their dignity as children of God. The program offers model training sessions to help girls grow into respectful young women in manners, fashion and makeup, and public speaking skills and puts on fashion shows throughout the year. In 2007, Pure Fashion has put on 13 shows featuring 600 models and plans for 25 shows in 2008, according to Newsweek magazine. the rest
