‘Would I Ever Wear a Skirt’ That ‘Short’?—Candace Cameron Bure Talks Modesty With Her Daughter

Christian actor, producer, and advocate Candace Cameron Bure continues to discuss “girls under pressure” in her ninth season of the “Candace Cameron Bure Podcast.” The multigenerational cast dove into the topics of fashion and modesty, hot topics for today’s women.

“That word gets such a bad rap,” said Candace, referring to the word “modesty.”

Natasha Bure, Candace’s daughter, and “The JWLKRS Podcast” host Allie Schnacky joined Candace to talk about “life’s challenges, celebrations, and everything in between.” In the podcast episode, the trio were transparent as they discussed how a love of fashion and modesty are interwoven.

“True beauty comes from within,” says the episode description. “What does it mean to dress in a way that reflects Christ rather than seeking validation from others?”

“How do you handle the pressure of fashion choices?” the description asks. “It’s not just about trends but a reflection of creativity and the heart.”

Modesty “is a really good word,” argued Candace. “But, it can be used to hurt people. It can be used to shame people.”

Schnacky offered her perspective that “fashion and modesty are two completely different things.” She said that fashion is her style, “what I choose to wear” that “best represents the personality that God created me with,” while “modesty is more like a heart posture.”

Schnacky said, “I can be fully clothed from head to toe and still be immodest if my heart posture is to seek attention and approval from people.”

“When I dressed a certain way, I presented myself differently,” she reflected.

Natasha said she identifies her underlying motivation while choosing an outfit. She needs to take a step back and re-evaluate her decision when she’s “wearing this because I want attention” rather than “wearing this because it makes me feel more confident, and I feel empowered.”

“On my social media, I would say I’m a fairly fashionable gal,” said Natasha. “But, in real life, I look otherwise.” She described her approach to getting dressed, reflecting how she’s “vibing” with each day.

The trio shared about times they were judged by appearance—by what they wore.

Schnacky said that she “was revealing a lot more skin than I do now” when she started a TikTok. “I was doing it out of a place of seeking approval from people.”

“I feel like people were just so confused,” said Natasha, referring to the comments she received about the clothes she used to wear. “The outfits that I was wearing at the time were so opposite” of her values.

Candace started a women’s clothing line that combined her love of fashion and desire to offer empowering options that weren’t too revealing.

“I started that clothing line because I love fashion,” said Candace. “I really do!”
