What is the source in the Torah for tznius? What is the source for skirt length. I am being asked by someone and I realized I don't know the answer!

There are many. The first two that come to mine are
ושרה הנה באהל
והצנע לכת עם ה אלוקיך
Skirt length is a geder that rabbanim have put into place. It is a דרבנן
Reading עוז והדר לבושה may help with clarity and sources

The Torah doesn't address women's clothing (other than to say they should not wear men's clothes). That's why you don't know.

Much of tznius is subjective. The skirt that falls four inches below the knee would have been scandalous a hundred years ago.
