What is the word or term used to describe a culture where extreme modesty is built into their traditional dress? It's usually used to describe Middle Eastern societies, but I've also heard it used in relation to the Puritans.

Anyone know?

clothing, middle eastern, word

No...it's a term that relates specifically to dress.
Ag. I learned it in my History of Styles class, but that was several semesters ago.
