EJ Young, in his commentary on Isaiah 47.1-3 does not relate the humiliation of the "nakedness" of verse two to immodesty at all, but to servitude. The nakedness of verse three, according to Dr. Young, is the exposure of Babylon to be a nation which will be enslaved by the Lord, rather than the lofty kingdom she was thought to be by the nations of the earth of that age.
Keil and Delitzsch see much the same in the passage.

Our best marks can contribute nothing to our justification, ...that is proper to faith. Faith cannot lodge in the soul alone, and without other graces; yet faith alone justifies before God.--G. Gillespie
