The Controversy of Dress
Seems like just about everybody in the Catholic world has his or her own definition of what "modesty" is.
If we look it up in the dictionary, we discover that modesty is "the state or virtue of being unassuming and of humble behavior; lacking excess or pretentions; moderation, decency, decorum."
Father Peter Stravinskas agrees. In his Catholic Dictionary he defines modesty as "the virtue promoting manners and harmony with others, enabling one to control conversations, dress, and external actions. A defect of modesty causes boorishness and coarseness, while excess in this virtue leads to excessive delicacy and fastidiousness."
Another Catholic lexicographer concurs as well.
