First Timothy 2:9. It says I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, and… then, sobriety; ....eeee Sobriety is a word that basically means with moderation....While dressing for the attention of men is problematic, dressing for the attention of other women is epidemic. The question “How do I look?” implies the answering inquiry “Relative to whom?” Far more powerful than the desire to dress to tempt a man is the desire to dress to trump another woman....What is your motive for choosing the clothes you choose?..Focus more on the “why” of those choices than the “which...Here is the bottom line: Godly women do not seek to elevate themselves above others — not by immodest dress, and not by competitive dress. They seek to provoke neither the lust of men nor the envy of women. They love preferentially by keeping the focus off themselves. Clothed inwardly with the righteousness of Christ, their outward clothing becomes a matter for sober consideration: How can I best reflect the character of God through my wardrobe choices? May the daughters of the Living God, be measured not by their hemlines but by their humility. May your character outshine your clothing, so that, whether we wear a habit or a sweep the floor, Christ is magnified...somebody get helped!
