I've known some pretty godly people who wore less clothing than many would approve of.
It's WAY more in attitude than it is in appearance. I agree the appearance matters, but only a little, at least on the point of this thread. I have Indian friends who wear the bangles all the way up to their elbows, wear those stomach baring tops with the sari, wear lots of eye makeup, and yet they still seem very wholesome, demure and modest. It's in the way they ACT.

I would say that if holiness is on the inside, modesty will be on the outside. Am I right??

Hmmm. I don't know that I agree.  Adam and Eve were pure and naked. In their most pure state, they had no clothes on at all.
No, I think holiness is a state God induces upon our hearts, and modesty is an expression of courtesy and concern for others, a symptom of more maturity, but not necessarily more holiness.

Modesty is on the inside ... is modesty just clothing?
I thought modest dealt also w/ vanity ...
As Miss B state one could have a modest appearance ... as defined by a fragment of the Body of God .... and not be holy inwardly or outwardly.

TY...You're being very agreeable lately. Or maybe I am. I can't decide which.
