My wife wears jeans just like those and I see no problem with them. I have seen ladies in the name of holiness wear skirts so tight that nothing was left to the imagination.

Others might judge it as immodest.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:

  2. The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

Do you consider that immodest though? And if so, why?

The whole "you too" argument is a logical fallacy

I think modesty is not based where a person is currently in their walk, but in the light of where they came from. Because what a person may wear today is not how they dressed when they came to Christ. Kind of like I am not where I was but I am not where I am going.

I considered it not in good taste, because I had to wash my eyes out and repent after service.

Do you believe a woman wearing tight skirts is DRESSED Modestly?

No. I also think skin tight jeans are not modest either.
