About Us
Modest Apparel USA began in Lebanon, Missouri, and is a small family-owned and operated business now based out of Hiram, Georgia.
Why “Modest”?
“Modesty” as defined by Merriam-Webster is
- The quality of not being too proud or confident about yourself or your abilities
- Propriety in dress, speech, or conduct
Here at Modest Apparel USA we believe that modesty can carry across many faiths, devotions, and cultures worldwide, and that you can still be stylish while dressing more conservatively. Our goal is to offer fashion-forward modest clothing that can appeal to anyone!
While most of our boutique styles are imported, all garments with the Modest Apparel USA label are made from top quality fabric and are manufactured right here in the United States of America.
