The way you guys approach scripture totally dumbfounding, its like talking to 7th Day Adventists about the Sabbath. It's sad really. Do you have a scripture showing a godly man who shaved his beard, or who wore long sleeves?
The fact that you are so hung up on the need for a scripture where God inspired the writer to go out of their way to tell us such and such a godly woman wore a pair of pants, is not only ridiculous, but also shows just how out of touch your measurement of holiness is with that of God himself. You simply cannot get past the exterior.....
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
1 Peter 3:1-5 KJV
Or to make it a little more plain, a modern dynamic translation....
Don't be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
1 Peter 3:3-4 NLT
