Modest attire is a requirement.  Especially for Christian leaders. How do we motivate others to this specification?

By allowing for freedom where the Bible gives such--and specifics where it gives such:

1) Sensuality/arousal is meant for married couples

2) Wear clothing that avoid such BUT

3) Your faith and conscience are the guide

Welcome to worthy. People mostly learn things and may not always be easily convinced. Is you want to motivate others:

1. Pray ur way in: prayer prepares you. It makes the heart of those being talked to ready to listen. Prayer opens you too how God feels. It shows you (through the Holy Spirit) what to say so you don't get nervous. 

2. Get a pal:if you hope to motivate others,you have to first have a relationship with them. Be friendly. Be more focused on being a good friend than on nagging them on what and what not to wear. Because that are more likely to take you seriously when they trust and respect you. 

3. Be patient: change doesn't always happen immediately so be patient. 

4. Don't be too judgemental: people get defensive when they feel judged or when they feel you're trying to make them feel inferior. So when you try to motivate others remember that we all are sinners and talk to them with respect, love but with a firm voice. 

5. Be a person of modesty yourself: I'd you really want to be effective, you must learn to practice what you preach. Cus people don't go to robbers to save their money so they surely won't listen to u when you preach about modesty in a fishnet blouse and mini skirt. 

Always listen to the Holy Spirit. Never feel that any one is any less in God's eyes. To God, people are people. It's only a Pharisee that will consider themselves higher than everyone. And that's why they are ineffective. I pray that you never develop such an attitude.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. 

How this made sense. 

All the best, 

Chrisy

Setting the example by a loving attitude along with modest (loose fitting and covering) clothing goes a long way.   New people should be welcomed as they are, as God has welcomed us.  After they are saved God sets His priority in cleaning the fish.  Usually it has to do with other attitudes toward God, making Him Lord of our lives, and toward others and ourselves as well.  Learning about purity of sex within marriage, the world flesh and the devil temptations, and the need  to be in the world but not of the world.  Christians should be different and that is a hard pill for teens to swallow.  People need to learn how much God loves and prizes them that He would send Jesus to dies for them.  This is the basis for allowing the old man to die and putting on the new man in the image of Christ.   So we can't expect change overnight.  It is a growing process.   Lastly there is the problem of finding clothing that is more appropriate in a world that sells filth.  That might be a good topic for a woman's group discussion: where to buy more modest clothing and what to look for.

A most noble cause; just all the wickedness that comes from not having modest attire... 

but not one to obsess over... unless that is your personal ministry / calling in life. 

We tend to ignore or pick our own calling to ministry. We as believers are all priests of God, btw.

1 Peter 2:3-9 / Revelation 1:6 and 5:10.

And it is the Lord who decides which ministry to call us to. That which he has equipped us for with

spiritual gifts...

As I said... yours [may] be a calling, a ministry, a spiritual-giftedness  along these lines.

If so, God bless you in this effort.

Rely upon him and his word for answers.
