Very true, and I've met holy people who didn't necessarily line up to my personal standard of appropriate dress, and unholy people who exceeded it.
I really think that appropriate, modest dress and "holiness" are totally separate issues, and when we try to make them equal or related, we run into all kinds of theological problems.

Would you say sin and holiness are the opposites of each other? Can certain clothing be sinful in and of themselves? I don't think so, but depending on where you wear something and the reason you wear something, then you may be sinning by wearing those clothes. Even the clothes we wear should glorify God in some way.

Which scriptures define "the part"?

So if it quacks like a duck and waddles like a duck then it is a duck? What if it is a parrott that quacks like a duck, then what? Look has VERY little to do with actually being Holy though it does give one the impression that one is holy. I have seen services where a women that most on here would say is a Jezabel hit the altar and begin to worship and the women saints gather around and try to pray her through but when they arrive she is already into the spirit and they rejoice and such. Come to find out she is a saint of God visiting from out of town. It is all about perception. . .most often perception is wrong, IMO.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Cor 11:14 (KJV)
How does what you are saying fit it with this scripture? Basically, you are saying that somone cannot be evil without looking evil. This scripture says Satan is transformed into an angel of light.
