Is there not a dress code guide posted on the doors of the chapel?   There was at the chapel I went to.
Yes  there is a dress code, but it means nothing unless it is enforced and people are taught what it means by examples. The dress code in the church really means nothing, if parents and their children do not live it outside of the church in the world. A woman can dress perfectly for mass for 2 hours on Sunday then go all week in short shorts, yoga pants, bikini top etc. Also, a person could dress perfectly all the time and still be a flirt and loose with morals.

It is all a package, not just about the dress code posted on the wall at a church.

I also think it is mainly the fault of the fathers,
It is not the fathers that teach the girls that their beauty and self esteem comes from getting the attention of boys, it is the mothers that pass this error on. Men always tend to blame themselves and in this case, they are secondarily at fault for not correcting the lie.

The problem is that many people would dress modestly only for Sunday Mass. Then, you see the same people during the week dressed as the rest of the secular world (basically in grossly immodest rags). They are practically indistinguishable. Unless the parents insist heavily on keeping the Traditional Catholic modesty standards at home, this seems to be the norm.

Sermons and dress codes do help, of course; but unless the modesty is practiced and reinforced at home, and since infancy, they will not be sufficient. There needs to be a deep contrast between the standards of the Catholic home, and the worldly fashions, especially nowadays, when society has lost all grip on chastity, decorum, and even reality.

That may be so, but I have met girls who put importance on what their father thinks/says. Even my own mother was such a girl in her youth. If a father would simply say "You shouldn't do that for X reason", I think it would make a difference. My own father would simply say "Your skirt is too short" and for the most part my sisters don't wear inappropriate things unless it's maybe all they have for the moment - even then it just comes above the knee.
  Maybe other girls are not so... fillial? But I'm certain that amongst those I know, things would be different if the father(s) would just say something.

Education amongst Trads is seriously lacking on all sides.

Exactly. Do not expect a 1/2 hour sermon on Sunday to change a life that spends 167.5 hours a week in a home that allows immodest dressing and flirting to attract men.
