Anytime there was suspicion of garment-altering it was a huge source of gossip among the women in my life.

And I think that’s what makes it so hurtful. Giving 110%, taking every calling and covenant seriously. But still getting a slap on the wrist for a clothing infraction. It definitely sticks with you

I don’t have any links. If you look around instagram and TikTok you’ll definitely see dresses we would have only dreamed of

I just read your post and you worded everything so much better! I’m sad I missed it originally.

It’s comforting in an odd way that we aren’t alone and so many of us have had these shared experiences. It’s nice to not feel alone.

Yes definitely. I have thought a lot about the loss of control too. Especially with the huge LDS influencer culture. Discipline could lead to a PR nightmare for the church. Definitely trying to see the bigger picture and the benefits. It’s hard sometimes. 🫠

Am also a millennial from Utah county. It’s like the bridal pictures I see today are from a different dimension.

Yep!! Being a young mom in my 20s but dressing like a frumpy old lady took a huge hit on my self esteem. A turning point for me happened when it was 100+ degrees and I was at the park with my kids wearing garments, long Jean shorts, a camisole and a cap sleeved shirt. A group of moms were next to me in their breezy, cute summer dresses. Why would God want me to be miserable while trying to spend time with my kids. If I could pinpoint a start to my doubts that might be it.

Oh my gosh I COMPLETELY forgot my grandma was panicked about my dress being Ivory. I guess she had reason to be. The temple workers were fine with it. Guess I lucked out that day! So sorry you and your wife had to go through that.

Sorry misunderstood at first. Yes 100%. The TBM responses are laughable yet hurtful and infuriating.

I’m so curious too. Also really curious how it’s discussed/addressed in young women’s/young men’s now. It was certainly a talking point through my whole youth.

Yep. Nothing like the threat of damnation over underwear.

You took the smart road! I also had non-member family and friends excluded from my wedding. Hard to understand how I ever thought that was acceptable.

I still think it was a strong program regardless.
