Modesty

Any biblical discussion of modesty begins with the heart, not the hemline. What fruit of the Spirit is seen in the modestly dressed woman? Self-Control: an international restraint and moderation for the purpose of purity. Modesty, therefor, is simply humility expressed in dress.

C.J. Mahaney, The Soul of Modesty, Sovereign Grace, Winter 2002, p. 12
