But first lets learn about the importance of wearing proper undergarments. Everything the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad says is right on time in time and never out of season. When I reviewed in book on femininity proper dress for the Muslim Woman it all boils down to one being modest, neat, well groomed and clean from our outer wear to our undergarments. Now of course the styles of today are lacking modesty and most definely refinement and the solution to this is to simply sew our own clothing and undergarments. In an article by Tynetta Denar from the 1960 Muhammad Speaks paper she stated "something as simple as a dress (as we may deem simple) is causing us to faulter behind the rank and file of the advanced societies of the world." She is clearly speaking of those who dress provocatively trying to grab attention from everyone through sexual appearance instead of their minds. Now you may ask, what does this have to do with wearing proper undergarments, and let me interject by saying it has everything to do with wearing proper undergarments. We know that this society tries to dictate everything we should be wearing. Some of us poor, blind, deaf and dumb folks don't even wear undergarments. Yes for lack of better phrasing, you just let it hang out. However, Modest women are redefining what main stream is saying what we should wear by doing the opposite - striving to wear modest, feminine refined clothing. Undergarments are not only for protecting your clothes from bodily fluids, but they are also for shape, support, extra warmth, beauty and femininity, modesty and refinement (note: we don't want anything hanging or protruding). Sure we can easy buy our essentials from the store, but you save more money and get really like by sewing your own. Remember it does not take that much fabric, and I gurantee you it be of better quality. Below you will see some tips for sewing undergarments. Now if you not able to sew your essentials yourself, be sure to buy from your own, because that way its like making your own. Tips for Sewing Undergarments 1. Start off with a simple project such as panties or a camisole, then as you become more experience try more advanced projects such as bras. 2. Be sure to use stretchy breathable fabric. Satins, jersey's knits, and cotton are fabrics that can come stretchy. 3. It is very important to use the correct needle. Regular needles will not work, you will need to purchase a ballpoint needle. 4. When taking your measurements, take real measurements against your skin and not over your clothes. Undergarments as we stated above are also for security. Please do not estimate or guess what your size may be. Remember you want your undergarments to fit properly. 5. Use fabric details such as lace and ribbon for extra femininity. 6. Make sure your fabric and trims are washable. 7. Always use cotton for your middle panels of your panties.
