When news broke last fall that <a href='https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2024/10/16/lds-temple-garments-women-rejoice/'>redesigned temple garments</a> — including a sleeveless version — were already on sale in some foreign countries, it became a hot topic among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Would the sacred underclothes, which are expected to be worn under daily clothing, be visible under tank tops? Would the new slip or half-slip allow women to wear their own underwear? Would they be accepted by other members or seen as caving to modern fashion?
Perhaps the biggest question was about modesty. For years, Latter-day Saint women had been taught that the typical garment, with its capped sleeves to cover shoulders and upper arms, was meant, at least in part, as a display of modesty. Some members even joked about “porn shoulders.”
What do the new “open sleeves” say about those previous ideas? How do the new styles fit in practice? And what other changes would members like to see?
Discussing those questions and more on this week’s show are Latter-day Saints Andrea Fausett, a Hawaii-based <a href='https://www.instagram.com/andreafausett?igsh'>Instagram influencer</a> who has reviewed and showcased the new garments, and Northern California-based <a href='https://www.instagram.com/ldschangemakers/?hl=en'>Instagrammer</a> Rachel Gerber, who runs the LDS Changemakers social media account.
