"Girls should show no more skin than the average guy." An anonymous male quoted by Allison Bos in her thesis on Modesty.

In John MacArthur’s commentary on 1 Timothy, he made this statement about the
heart, “How does a woman discern the sometimes fine line between proper dress and
dressing to be the center of attention? The answer starts in the intent of the heart. A woman should examine her motives and goals for the way she dresses. Is her intent to show the grace and beauty of womanhood? Is it to reveal a humble heart devoted to worshipping God? Or, is it to call attention to herself and flaunt her beauty, or worse to attempt to lure men sexually? A woman who focuses on worshipping God will consider carefully how she is dressed, because her heart will dictate her wardrobe and her appearance.”
