Exactly! But who is you. Immodesty is actually somewhat cultural so it isn't a question that is immaterial. There are certain cultures where it does not tempt men to see women clad in a manner that would be very tempting to Western males.
Though in my culture, Christian women should dress in a way that does not cause men (in my culture) to lust.

Daniel, you are absolutely right. The way women dress today is far different than just a few years ago. I believe that the downward spiral of our western culture has affected dress in both men and women. If a woman is dressed where breasts are exposed and you can see her behind I think that would certainly be classified as immodest. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. A Christian woman should look somewhat different from the average girl on the street that resembles a harlot more than a woman. The way a woman dresses says alot about her character. The thing that attracted me to my wife the first time I met her was the way she dressed. She was not unkept as some fundamentalists think a woman should look, but she dressed like a lady. I have always found immodest and sloppy dressed women a real turn off.
