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.
