Disclaimer: I am not attempting to be humorous or to lack respect but here goes: In my neighborhood there are a number of Orthodox Jewish families. The women too must dress modestly. I have seen numerous tea length dresses that look lovely with a cap sleeve worn with a gauzy wrap. A dear friend is going to an ultra Orthodox wedding in two weeks and she is wearing a cocktail dress below the knee, and although the top (solid material) ends just above the breast there is sleeve and up to the neck gauzy material covering her arms and shoulders.

I believe that I have seen Ralph Lauren (not the couture line) tea length dresses that are lovely florals. I would go online to Bloomingdale's, Nordstroms's, Macy's...whatever major department store that you enjoy patronizing. Also, look for stores in Utah. I know that they have more modest clothing there. (No, I am not being snide. We were in Salt Lake City and happened to go shopping and thie modesty factor was quickly explained to us.)

Have fun during recruitment.
