Let Me Make A Note of That

"She just wore enough for modesty – no more."

Robert Williams Buchanan (1841-1901), White Rose and Red


(I'm not sure what Buchanan intended, but I like the quote because it leaves room for beauty, but not at the expense of modesty. I don't think of it in terms of the world's definition of bare minimums and midriffs, but rather a standard that needs to be met first, like honesty or integrity.)
