Modesty is one of the most challenging topics for young religious women today. I agree with anon, that we do things because it's the correct thing to do, its our duty, and an integral part of our belief system.
Physical actions and mitzvot always effect the spiritual cosmos and the physical world, but there is no guarantee that we will see salvation, miracles or the improvements we see in our daily lives. This is a very important point to make, as many often well meaning people, claim this charity guarantees various salvation or miracles, and it can be profoundly disheartening when these yeshuot don't materialise as expected. All the best!

It’s all in the Tanach BS"D When the prophets talk about the 70 nations coming to attack Jerusalem, it's not necessarily a war with guns. Every single clothing style is influenced by the filth and perversion of the 70 nations. We are being attacked and beaten pretty badly right now. Our daughters have been taken captive… we are worshiping the sun (summer clothing shows off alot more skin than winter clothing). It's time to wake up people! Sefer Hamiddot says that in the future Hashem will separate Himself from those who wear the clothing of the nations. It's time to fight back with holiness and don't beleive those rabbis from the 'other side' who tell you that being tzanua makes you stand out more. How utterly rediculous! Avraham Avinu stood up to the whole world and so must we if we want to get to the Geula, may it be soon, Amen.

very brave I think you are very brave to write this. Women do not like to hear others telling them that their brand of "tznius" leaves a lot to be desired, as I know from my own pre-modest days…. It is our greatest tikkun, and so of course has the greatest amount of yetzer hara attached. I don't know if you will change minds, but from what I understand of spiritual reward, even if noone becomes more modest as a result of this article, your effort will sprout reward as if it had, B"H. Good for you.

Mistaken outlook – not a quid pro quo Do you keep kosher or shabbat in order to get a payback? Men and women should dress and behave modestly for the sake of modesty. It is very dangerous to promise people rewards that you can't back up. I have dressed modestly for many years and have none of the blessings you state. Modesty has its own inherent value and is its own reward.
