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.
