So-called trad schools are deficient if they do not promote Catholic modesty.
How angels are depicted in art is irrelevant to moral guidelines on how human beings should dress.
Angels do not wear shorts, and even if they did they would not be tempting anyone.
There is no temptation in Heaven.
On earth, shorts are immodest clothing. They are exposing the legs. They are immodest.
Also, shorts are male clothing. So shorts should not be worn by women.
A woman shall not be clothed with man's apparel, neither shall a man use woman's apparel…
This sign was put up where Padre Pio heard Confessions:
By Padre Pio's explicit wish, women must enter the confessional wearing skirts at least 8 INCHES BELOW THE KNEE. It is forbidden to borrow longer dresses in church and to wear them to confession.
Padre Pio put up this sign:
The Church is the House of God. It is forbidden for men to enter with bare arms or in shorts. It is forbidden for women to enter in trousers, without a veil on their head, in short clothing, low necklines, sleeveless or immodest dresses.
Man himself does not escape from the inclination of exhibiting his flesh: some go in public, stripped to the waist, or in very tight pants …They thus commit offenses against the virtue of modesty. They may also be an occasion of sin (in thought or desire) for our neighbor.
How angels are depicted in art is irrelevant to moral guidelines on how human beings should dress.
That is obvious.
Skirts covering the ankles were the norm in Catholic countries before the twentieth century.
So Catholic women’s skirts should cover the ankles today.
Again, that is obvious.
Genuine Catholics have a sensus Catholicus which will inform them of these matters.
Women should follow "Marylike Standards of Modesty in Dress".
In other words, dress like Our Lady.
That is the way that good Catholic women dressed less than a hundred years ago, in many Catholic countries.

http://www.salvemariaregina.info/Modesty.html The Marylike Standards
for Modesty in Dress
(as set down by the Vatican)
"A dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat; which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows; and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knees. Furthermore, dresses of transparent materials are improper."
--The Cardinal Vicar of Pope Pius XI
1. "Marylike" means modesty without compromise -- "like Mary," Christ's pure and spotless Mother.
2. Marylike dresses have sleeves extending to the wrists; and skirts reaching the ankles.
3. Marylike dresses require full and loose coverage for the bodice, chest, shoulders, and back; the cut-out about the neck must not exceed "two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat" and a similar breadth around the back of the neck.
4. Marylike dresses also do not admit as modest coverage transparent fabrics -- laces, nets, organdy, nylons, etc. -- unless sufficient backing is added. Fabrics such as laces, nets, organdy may be moderately used as trimmings only.
5. Marylike dresses avoid the improper use of flesh-colored fabrics.
6. Marylike dresses conceal rather than reveal the figure of the wearer; they do not emphasize, unduly, parts of the body.
7. Marylike dresses provide full coverage, even after jacket, cape or stole are removed.
8. Marylike fashions are designed to conceal as much of the body as possible, rather than reveal. This would automatically eliminate such fashions as slacks, jeans, shorts, culottes, tight sweaters, sheer blouses, and sleeveless dresses; etc. The Marylike standards are a guide to instill a "sense of modesty." A girl or woman who follows these, and looks up to Mary as her ideal and model, will have no problem with modesty in dress. She will not be an occasion of sin or source of embarrassment or shame to others.The standard set by the Cardinal Vicar of Pope Pius XI (quoted above) is meant to delineate between "decent" and indecent; it would be sinful to wear clothes which "cannot be called decent." We expect that members of the Fatima Crusade, who are resolved to make reparation for the sins of the world -- especially of immodest and impurity, will do far more than the minimum. They will truly strive to imitate the Blessed Virgin Mary in the virtue of modesty. Keep this guide with you when buying clothes. Make sure that you purchase or make only garments which meet the Marylike Standards.
"Be Marylike by being modest -- be modest by being Marylike."
The whole problem of immodest clothing has been greatly exacerbated by Feminism.
Feminism is utterly satanic.
One of its vile fruits is that even some Traditional Catholic women now dress far worse than whores. A prostitute in the nineteenth century would have dressed with a skirt covering her ankles, her front covered up to her throat, her head covered, and long sleeves.
And that is a prostitute trying to attract male clients !!!
Traditional Catholic women are obliged on pain of mortal sin to dress modestly.
Women should follow "Marylike Standards of Modesty in Dress".
In other words, dress like Our Lady.
That is the way that good Catholic women dressed less than a hundred years ago, in many Catholic countries.
This link provides information for any Catholic women who want to know how to dress properly: http://www.salvemariaregina.info/Modesty.html I heartily exhort everyone to read the article. It is very, very good.
Feminists loathe the true Catholic concepts about how women should dress.
Padre Pio refused to hear the Confessions of women whose skirts were not AT LEAST eight inches below the knee.
So Padre Pio knew their skirts should have been much longer than that, but less than that was so sinful that he would not hear their Confessions.
So Padre Pio would certainly have approved of women wearing skirts that cover the ankles.
