encouragement It's so important to praise the girls constantly for keeping within halachic (not hashkafic) guidelines: covered knees, elbows and collarbones. Explain to them that their personality and flair is important to Hashem since it becomes "their" mitzva and noone elses. The essence of the mitzva, what modesty means, is something that the mother encapsulates with her own dress and behaviour. When the girls take it on as their own, it will have more meaning for them. Let them have fun with it. Simcha!

if they admire your dress…. I once heard a well known rebbetzin saying that it was very important that girls appreciate the way their mothers dress, that they are proud of how we look, if we want them to emulate us. I took this to heart and often ask my daughter if she likes what I'm wearing and rarely buy something that she doesn't like, if we shop together. She told me that her friends like the way I dress which is important in this day and age ( and yes, I'm halachically acceptable, I wear stockings too, ugly 70 DEN!)
