Not once in 10 years have I heard a priest say anything having to do with the way the young girls are dressing and living 24/7. As a matter of fact they had a teacher in the school that regularly walked around the neighborhood after school in short shorts, and they never said anything to her. I think they have been told to say nothing.

Cathinfo's Mr. G, went to St. Mary's Kansas, maybe he can answer your question with regard to St. Marys.

The last sermon on modesty that I can remember was one of Fr. Beck last sermons before going to Post Falls, Thus it was some years ago. It was his famous "men are like microwave ovens and women are like crock-pots", yet he purposely left out any description of the "standards of Catholic modesty". I have not gone to an SSPX Mass in over two years, but based on reports from those who still go to SSPX, there has not been a modesty sermon since, although there was mention by Fr. Rutledge stating that modestly will need to be improved by the time the new church is built. (Why until then and not now, I do not know?)
Maybe there is a lurker from St. Marys here on CathInfo that has more recent information. Feel free to give any updates.

Modesty will need to improve after we have secured enough in donations from the rich parishioners so it's safe to talk about without a hit to the pocketbook

That's what that means

I agree that there’s a problem, I've seen this in various trad parishes over many years. Unfortunately, as we know, it's not a new problem and will probably always be a battle. Here is a passage from, The Hidden Treasure, Holy Mass, by Saint Leonard. I’m sure many here have read this, but for those who haven’t, it’s a pretty impressive.

I especially like the example provided in The Hidden Treasure that you posted regarding following the example of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, about modesty and not being distracted during mass.

For young women and girls, there is no stronger deterrent to any behavior than the disapproval of their peers. Modesty sermons, while necessary from time to time, at best have a temporary effect. The women need to be inspired to desire holy living and they’ll want to dress modestly. The men and boys must be taught to reject immodesty in women. So long as the immodest, forward girls get the fboys’ attention and dates, and the modest, quiet, Mary-like are ignored, any apparent improvement will be shallow, a surface display to placate the priest and old folks. These days, with the Boomer generation becoming the “old” folks, one sometimes sees more immodest and inappropriate clothing among the senior citizens than the generation coming of age.
The last few years I’ve noticed 65 year old women in too tight skirts above the knee accompanied by beautifully and modestly dressed granddaughters! Crazy, no?
