@meeper @genmaicha question is whether it was more liberal.
covering breast / female form in abrahamic religions came from idea of protecting women from desires of men. it's a natural basic feeling for father to not see his daughter go naked. or for a husband to see wife expose herself. in a tight knit community with everyone knowing everyone even more.
the only scenario where female nudity is acceptable is when it's not perceived as sexual or shameful, e.g. in some African tribe.
however what we see here is definitely sexual. doesn't mean women dressed like that. maybe dancers or prostitutes.
