Like I said before, in my experience the same SSPX young girls (and young mothers) who wear the provocative clothing to mass, are wearing the rest of the week: short shorts, tight jeans, tight tank tops with belly exposed, spandex leggings as outwear......... I see them about town dressed that way. The way they dress at mass is just the tip of the iceberg. If they would dress like they dress at mass all the time, it would be an improvement!

I write about this subject because I have a lot of daughters and have become aware of the "desease" spreading among the young SSPX girls. These girls are a bad example to others, a bad example of Catholicism.  I write because they look like fools, airheads just following fashions like dumb sheep. It is like watching a Jerry Lewis movie, him making a fool of himself, exasperating.  I do not write because of the lust it might inspire in men. I write to warn those women of the repercussions that such dress can bring, from men and from God.
Be sure to complement the young ladies who are good examples, including your daughters. : )

Oh, and, "you're dressed so modestly today!" doesn't count!  : P

Oh, and, "you're dressed so modestly today!" doesn't count!  : P
When a lady wears a modest dress that looks good on her, it's appropriate to tell her that her dress is nice.
It shouldn't sound like an attempt to get attention nor should it be so loud that everyone nearby can hear it.
An honest complement does a lot of good.
Often times you can see her confidence come out a bit more because she feels more attractive.
Some women spend a lot of money on their appearance.
But when poise and taste are combined it doesn't have to be expensive.
And when that's been achieved, it ought to be appreciated with proper intentions.
.
Therefore, 
All a man has to do is say nothing to a woman whose appearance might be glamorous yet immodest.
In regards to the thread title, high heels do not constitute successful modesty, but that doesn't mean a lady can't have a modest appearance with moderately high heels, it's just not so easy to pull it off. I think it takes some practice, physical coordination and muscle tone for a woman to wear moderately high heels without looking immodest. If she's out of shape or tired or walking on a too-soft surface, she might have difficulty keeping her balance and that will compromise her gracefulness which could make her appear attractive to someone with improper intentions. She might be able to use this to discover what a man really has in mind, or to find out if he is capable of behaving honorably.

I will confess that I often hear the clod-hopping of women's shoes while saying my prayers before Mass at various chapels. It does annoy me and I think to myself, "will you get some quieter frickin' shoes!". But I just thought it was me. I have sensitive ears and if more than a few people are fidgitting in the pews it's like I'm hearing the load mufflers of rush hour traffic. I've had to stop and think to myself "everybody sure is loud" and they're just sitting there not really doing anything. I also never stopped to try to catch a view of what the clodhoppers were wearing. I was usually trying to focus on the alter or something.

I agree that there are often mixed motives, and this holds true also of men.  So, for instance, men who have strong temptations to impurity tend to be more zealous against modesty.

This is so true, and also important for all of us to understand.

On another Catholic forum, there was a man who was upset anytime a picture was posted of an immodestly dressed women. Oh, how he would scream and howl. He would report any offensive photo to the mods, so much so, that mods were quitting from the overwork. He would start thread after thread about this topic. However, even if a woman were to be modestly dressed, he would find something immodest about it. For example: (1) her head covering does not cover all of her hair; (2) a little bit of her neck shows even though she covers her head; (3) her overly attractive legs should be covered to her ankles at all times; (4) a modest woman would not wear any noticeable makeup (none at all); and (5) even though her dress is not tight, it does reveal her flattering figure, thus, she needs to wear a spring coat.

Such a man really needs to pray unceasingly and to guard all of his senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. He needs to stop all pornography, for that is probably his worst sin. Most likely he needs to avoid the TV, radio, and Internet for a time until he gains control over his passions.  If he were not married, perhaps working at a monastery for a year would calm his passions.

Later on, we found out that this man was unfaithful to his wife, wanted to have an open marriage, and was contacting women at the forum by PM to arrange affairs. He was banned.
