my prayer! I'm going to give your book to the church libraries near
my home. I'll also write to _____ and suggest that they recommend your book
and website to their families..." —M. H., Internet |

"Dear Colleen, I manage a small Catholic book store. I read your
book on the way home from _____. I'm going to promote this book big
time... I'm so excited about this book, you have no idea! The
time is right. Girls want to dress better... What do we have to do to
have you come and speak?" —T. D., LA

| "Dear Colleen, I LOVED YOUR BOOK! THANK YOU VERY MUCH
for collaborating with TAN Books (my favorite publisher) in printing this
new edition..." —M. K., PA |

"Colleen, I just finished your book and congratulate
you! You articulated the issues well and I feel comfortable recommending
it to young women. It's both accurate AND contemporary." —K.
F., Internet |
| "I enjoyed your book very much and have changed the way
I dress, at least some of the time. Now that I have been looking to find
some nice, casual, feminine, modest skirts or jumpers for everday use, I'm
amazed at the lack of choices out there! ... The more I look around, the
more I notice that women these days are dressed in one of two ways: like
men or like street walkers! Thanks for really starting me thinking about
this. God bless." —L. M.,Internet |
|
"Dear Colleen, I would like to thank you for a wonderful,
thought-provoking book. I know Our Lord sent it to me at the perfect time.
After reading your book I was all excited to purchase more dresses and skirts...
I would like to suggest three sources for long skirts that are still fashionable.
The first is L.L. Bean, the second is Eddie Bauer, and the other is eBay.
Thank you for all the good work you are doing, and the hearts you are turning
toward God and His will. God bless you." —K. D., Internet |
| "Several girls [who heard you speak] gave
me your book to read. I started it last night and finished it after midnight.
Thank you very much for your great job! What I find very important ... is
the need for ladies not to be puritanical and not to dress just with modesty,
but also with dignity, as you rightly point out. Elegance is the best
advertisement for this campaign for decency... Thank you again, then,
and God bless you." —Fr. W., Internet |

"This is an excellent, excellent, excellent book that needs to
be read by every woman in America and in the world! Men need to read
it too. This book is not fluffy stuff. Her real-life examples and insights
are extremely interesting and helpful. This book is a real contribution
to the proper education of why 'women are so precious.' ... Dressing
with Dignity shows that as women go, society will follow. We need
to help women stand up for what is right and be models for the younger
generations..." —T. B., CA

and yours. I am recommending your book to all I know. May it bear fruit."

| "Hi Colleen! I had the blessing of being introduced to
your new book, Dressing with Dignity, last week. We would like to
bring you here to talk with mothers and daughters from our youth group and
our local Catholic high school... I loved your book! I have already
been to Goodwill for some great dresses, and I feel wonderful. Of course
my husband likes the change as well. Thanks so much for your good work.
You are fighting an important battle. So many in our society/Church can
be helped by your book. I loved the fact that it was a fast read
and included the history of fashions and Church teaching on modesty. THANK
YOU!" —L. S.,Internet |
|
"Ave Maria Purissima! God reward you for your spiritual
support... Reading through your book encourages us future priests to
continue to fight for purity... It was good to see that you stressed
how much men respect women who are modest... Well, don't worry about the
flack you are taking over this... Rest assured that you've done a good thing
for Our Lord and His Mother, so you can expect Hell to be in an uproar.
Your family will be in my prayers. God reward you again for your fidelity.
Semper Fi! In Christo per Mariam." —T., Seminarian, Internet

"Dear Colleen, I help manage a small gift
shop after our Sunday classes, and I can't wait to see the response to
your book! Thanks so much! I bought some to give to my sisters-in-law
and their nieces and godchildren... Thanks again. And may God continue to
bless you and your family."
—K. B., WA |

"Dear Colleen, I just received the 10 copies of your book Dressing
