If my character 'dressed modestly,' what would she wear?

My character, Kristiana Jensen, is semi-immortal so she has someone 'controlling' her immortality. She went through a brief spell of madness in the 1990's after realising that nothing could kill her unless the person controlling her dies and decides to take her with them. During this mad spell, she slept around in an attempt to 'feel alive' (it didn't work as well as she'd hoped). This earned her the nickname 'Kristiana the Seductive'. Since the mad spell ended, she feels humiliated and worthless that she let it happen, and feels as though everyone is looking at her in a lustful way, even her friends, so she dresses modestly to cover up her body.

My initial reaction is that she wears anything which covers her arms and legs as she tries to be a tomboy despite feeling uncomfortable in the clothes. Would this be right? What else should I consider 'dressing' her in?

Thanks!

Her nickname is based on Viking tradition since the story is based on Norse mythology.
 
I'll admit your character kinda confused me. But here's my opinion.

Your suggestion is considerable though, but they call her "seductive"... so I guess "dressing like a tomboy" seems off?

Maybe you could make her wear a long dress with long sleeves (like some goddess, if you know what I mean) and since I don't know if she's from the past or in the present or whatever, you could also "dress" her with jeans and half-sleeved shirts (I don't know how to call it) and sneakers or doll shoes, or a medium dress with blazer and leggings.

Being modest doesn't really mean "covering all the flesh" but really making her look decent.
