If it is a woman flouting the halacha (and btw, men might dress inappropriately for Shul, also), ONLY another woman, preferably the rebbetzin, should speak to the woman involved PRIVATELY, and in a really nice, hopefull non-judgmental way. “I am not telling you how to dress outside these walls, but when you come to Shul, you can best show Kovod for the Torah, for the Mikdash M’at, for the other mispallelim, and most of all, for YOURSELF, when you dress properly. By not exposing your neckline, knees or elbows, or wearing things that are otherwise just not appropriate for Shul, you are enhancing the kedusha of the Shul, and elevating the davening to a higher spiritual level. Please think about that when you dress for Shul next time. We love to have you daven with us.” If that sounds too hokey, then pick your own expressions, but you get the idea.
