I go to a FSSP parish. No problems with modesty there. Priests make sure of that.

There is also, what they wear outside of going to mass, which is to say, what they wear all of the time. My experience with FSSP is only that I went Venice, Ohio twice, and that was like 10 years ago. I did notice that many of the girls wore tight blue jean pants. They had a lot of families that were sending their children to public schools.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but I thought I would inject a bit of reality into the conversation. I have witnessed several of the priests in Post Falls correct girls on their dress. One of them stopped a girl on the sidewalk and told her she needed to go home and put on a longer skirt before she went inside to Mass. I have also heard multiple accounts of young women being pulled aside by priests and corrected on their attire. It is absurd to think that the priests have the ability to correct every offender, with the size of some SSPX parishes.

As to the poster who said they don't have the same problem at his FSSP chapel, I can only say that if that is true, your parish must be an exceptional example of Catholicism. A family I know who left IC for the FSSP parish in Coeur d'Alene said one of the things he liked about the fraternity was that "they don't hassle my girls about the way they dress."

Yes, it is a problem. No it is not a problem specific to the SSPX. I remember much worse dress by the girls I saw at Mount St. Michael's in Spokane (one high school girl was wearing a Hooter's shirt after school, just to illustrate my point). It is everywhere, sadly, and from my experience the SSPX priests are doing their best in this matter. However most of you would be impossible to convince of that due to your preconceived biases.

Sorry, that doesn't fly.

Making a show of correcting lax dress in a few cases isn't going to solve anything, it just makes people think something is being done.

Either the priests speak and act until the problem is gone, or they aren't interested.

You're not going to convince me the SSPX of the mini-skirt apologist lawyer cares about it.

TKGS has said very plainly:

Since the SSPX came to his chapel, standards have slackened.

Things are slackening because priests aren't doing their job, priests aren't doing their job because the new orientation is liberal.

Read what St John Chrysostom sd about immodesty....it should be read fm every pulpit once a month as long as the problem exists...A gorgeous woman in a tight, short dress...makeup, high-lighted hair...who slaps a little doilie on her head and thinks she's doing anyone a favor is ridiculous...Women like that turn Church into just another place to sin....

http://www.olrl.org/virtues/modesty.shtml

In regard to modesty in dress and deportment, let us first consider what the Holy Bible has to say on this subject: "In like manner I wish women to be decently dressed, adorning themselves with modesty and dignity, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but with good works, such as become women professing Godliness." (1 Tim. 2:9-10)

Modesty should be promoted by mothers in their children from early infancy. Many foolish mothers train their little daughters to consider scanty attire as the normal thing. Let such mothers take to heart the serious admonition of Pope Pius XII: "O Christian mothers, if you knew what a future of anxieties and perils, of ill-guarded shame you prepare for your sons and daughters, imprudently getting them accustomed to live scantily dressed and making them lose the sense of modesty, you would be ashamed of yourselves and you would dread the harm you are making for yourselves, the harm which you are causing these children, whom Heaven has entrusted to you to be brought up as Christians."

Purity is like a precious pearl; it is purchased at a great price, retained only with great care and watchfulness and easily lost or destroyed. Beware of pride and flattery, as arch-enemies of your purity. You may not be finely dressed or pretty and graceful; you may not have those attractions which are most admired by the world; but if you have the virtues of modesty and purity you have something which money cannot buy and an ornament which will outlast all the fading treasures of earth. "How beautiful then is modesty and what a gem among virtues it is." (St. Bernard, Confessor and Doctor of the Church)

Immodesty doesn't "attract a husband.." It attracts lustful desires..it attracts unwanted attention...A man who will be a GOOD husband wants a woman who is modest...not someone who puts it all out there and heightens and flaunts her sɛҳuąƖity...A woman who needs to do that doesn't have confidence in the beauty God gave her.

Our priest mentioned modesty during one of his sermons, but the young ladies paid no heed to his sermon.

Some of the families confronted other families about it and it caused a huge upset within the parish.

This Sunday there was a young woman wearing a dress so tight that I could see the outline of her bikini style underwear. I could tell just what part of her behind was covered and which part wasn't.... I was absolutely shocked...

I know this young woman and her mother have been confronted before about this, but nothing changes.... our parish is as cohesive as oil and water.

The one thing I try to do is compliment the young ladies when they do wear a modest outfit.

You mentioned some families confronted other families and it caused a problem. That's because the priest isn't directly confronting them and threatening to refuse communion. The priest is supposed to be representing the families on the side of modesty, but in the SSPX, they now tolerate publicly scandalous behavior in their midst.

It's not gossip to condemn publicly scandalous behavior.
