The faces of modern femininity and parental conservatism

A few months ago a senior Russian Priest, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, made the comment that there should a national dress code for that nation. Here is the BBC's sniffy (and inaccurate) take on what he said. This is not the post for fisking that - that you know it exists is enough for now
A few days ago our friend David Farrar ran a post lamenting that the State Duma in the Russian Federation (the lower house) has introduced dress standards banning amongst other things mini skirts for members and employees of that august body. You can read that post Nooooooooo here.
Now DPF of course has no children, let alone daughters, I on the other hand have three daughters and like everyone with experience with daughters I have said, or my wife has said at some time or other "you can't go out looking like that"! Indeed the level where this phrase is likely to be employed by myself is substantially lower than that of my wife. Win some loose some I guess.
But femininity is the thing, do you want feminine daughters? How feminine and how should they express it? Below are six pictures of 21st century women, a survey you can take, putting on your parental hat and vote as to whether or not you' would be comfortable your daughter out in public as these women are
If you don't have children, try and imagine how it might be if you did
