What we think is modest and holy in our culture may not be in another culture. Is there a different holiness standard from culture to culture? How can it be true holiness if can vary?

There's the rub.
Plus, I think two ladies could be wearing the exact same style of clothing, but with different spirits. In some cases, the clothing is not the issue, it's the attitude of the wearer. Otherwise, there are some objects that are definitely contrary to a spirit of holiness.
What do you think?
