WASHINGTON -- How much skin can a girl show before it's a sin? Modesty can be a sticky subject, even among Christians.
But experts say being modest doesn't mean a woman can't let her beauty shine.
In fact, that's the point.
If you look around, it's easy to think modesty is dead. Everywhere we look images tell us less is more, and the pressure for young girls to look sexy has never been more potent.
. . .
"It all has to do with beauty, but beauty should really come from the inside out," explained Jaime Jamgochian, a worship leader and the creator of Modest is Hottest.
"Unfortunately, the generation that we're living in says the less you wear, the more hot and beautiful you are. But there's something really beautiful to mystery," she said.
Jamgochian never dreamed she'd be preaching demureness. But she said if you look around, even in the church, you'll see it's needed.
"I didn't come to know the Lord until I was much older; I was 21," she shared. "I didn't grow up in youth groups or doing any of that so when I began growing in Christ and knowing Jesus I realized 'Wow, why are we dressing the same way I used to dress in the clubs?" she said.

Everything?
As seen in Saudia Arabia.
David Attenborough narration:
“Here we see two groups of humans, a female group and a male group. As part of their courting rituals, the females adopt more colorful plumage, in an effort to attract the attention of the males, as well as in competition with the other females for male attention. For their part, the males are clustered together, their attention unfocused, and as much as anything resemble of troop of bored chimpanzees in their behavior.
“One rather frustrated female is unable to compete with the more colorful females, so in frustration plucks out some of her plumage. This can cause a chain reaction of plumage plucking among some of the females, until they are bare, unless some of the older adults intervene to stop it.
“Eventually, one male finally notices the gaudy display of one or more of the females, and the other males pick up on this, so the group now less resembles chimpanzees than a pack of lions watching a group of gazelle.
“The younger of the females and males, though not yet ready to mate, will sometimes try to mimic the behavior of the older ones, and this can cause some confusion. But if some member of the opposite gender approaches a young one as a prospective mate, an adult may violently drive them off.”
I don’t know, you might ask a Muslim that question.
Modesty is good for women. It has anthropological reasons behind it, mainly less date raping.
Yes they can!
***you see the great divide. Not a pretty sight.***
My sister-in-law and her husband saw a woman do that. She bent over, revealing a white thong, with a two inch streak of brown on it.
My SIL had to bit e her tongue, and her husband had to leave the line to keep from bursting out in laughter.

A worship leader?
The maxim that a women should dress so that the first thing an average man looks at is your face, is still sound.
Also, the kind of bait you see (largely) determines the kind of fish you catch.
And when a man sees sexually beautiful female flesh, then don’t look twice. I try not to.
