Michelle Malkin notes an article discussing prom dresses which look like they were designed for porn stars. Dory of Wittenberg Gate has an excellent biblical take on the story.
Modesty is that quality which flows from a humble, reverent, and chaste mind and heart, and manifests itself in speech, behavior, and dress that communicates a moderate estimation of one’s own worth and importance, and a high estimation of the beauty of purity in Christian marriage.
Lest we become too prudish about modesty, let us remember that women are told to adorn themselves with modesty, but they are not told not to adorn themselves. (1 Tim 2:9) Even the Proverbs 31 wife is described as being adorned in purple and scarlet. As in many things, we must walk that line between legalism or pietism on the one hand and licentiousness on the other. I think the best way to do that in regards to modesty is to ask the question, “What am I communicating?” and if we are to err, err on the side of caution.
