Well, at least one here continues to wear her skirts, which do not fall into the definition of 'bulky'! CATSA has a female member of the MCC on the board and I do wonder if that influences the more liberal policies in Canada including the recent change to allow female CATSA employees to wear skirts of modest length.

I haven't been able to find much chatter online yet but there are many modest dress fora covering a wide variety of religions including LDS, Catholic, Jewish, Religious Society of Friends, as well as various traditionally plain churches. Often they are populated with stylish young women wearing modest yet fashionable clothing, and who do not stand out as 'different'.

The range of dress amongst some of these groups is so varied that the results and the discussions are I suspect varied as well. Many Mennonites for instance wear modern, fashionable clothing, just as some Mennonite groups may choose to wear plain dress.
