Not sure exactly, but I am sure that it came from the "with out holiness no one shall see God" thing. Since most op's preach that holiness standards are essential to making heaven and "with out holiness no one shall see God"...thus getting the Holiness Standard title. I think it is a weird statement, because there is no real corliation between dress and being Holy by scripture unless you are a UC, OP that see it differently.
If anything dressing "holy" can be more for protecting your holiness life. I think that people have replaced the term modesty with holiness standards...the truth is that we need modesty, but a dress code is not what we need. But I think it is a mixing up of terms.
