Since God is Love; we are made in His image and likeness, and are designed to reflect the essence of Divine Love. Because of the Fall, we are affected by Original Sin and have a distorted understanding of what love and beauty means.

I am in no way saying that a woman should be completely cloaking her feminine beauty, but at the same time she should not be dressing in clothing that barely covers her genitals. Feminine beauty needs to remain chaste, but also show a bit of a mystery.

All women are beautiful, regardless of whatever societal beauty norms are. Even she who is disabled, for example, is beautiful due to the fact that in her nature she is beautiful because God made her to be so.
