I think the obese pentecostal women are the reason for the standards. Those chewed bubble gum looking thighs look much better draped in a Lane Bryant skirt than they would in some jeggings. Seriously, I've seen some girls, whom I thought were relatively attractive, leave church and start wearing tighter clothes and I'm thinkin "Oh honey you need to pray through for no other reason than it was helping you not look like a whale..."
Personally I think that has more to do with lack of self respect than anything else. A lot of Pente women that I've known over the years have no problem being or looking completely trashy if it gets them whatever they want. 

Pentes (Well, those who've appointed themselves the upper classes of Penteville anyway) seem to be big on self esteem, but often very lacking in self respect. They're great at saying "I'm better than you" to a person. They're not so great at saying "I'm better than that" about some dumb belief or worse, some ridiculous or self-destructive behavior.

Pride on the other hand...that, they have, but it's like they're proud of acting or looking ignorant or ridiculous if a religious motive can be ascribed...
