NEW YORK (CBS) Her ex-beau Levi Johnston might have showed a lot skin for Playgirl, but don't expect Bristol Palin to do the same when she competes on "Dancing with the Stars."

The 19-year-old mother says she plans to ditch the show's usual skimpy costumes and will remain covered up on the dance floor.

"I think I will be the most dressed [contestant and have] the most modest outfits for sure because that's who I am," she told People magazine.

The daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is hoping to set a good example for her 20-month-old son, Tripp, and "all of the amazing moms out there," according to RadarOnline.com.

Palin isn't the only contestant speaking up about racy costumes. David Hasselhoff told the UK's Press Association Monday that he has no plans to wear anything too tight.

"You won't see me in Spandex because it reveals too much of The Hoff," he said.

Season 11 of "Dancing with the Stars" premieres Sept. 20 on ABC.
