Originally posted by Mrs. Funk View PostThe last time I bought garments (5 months ago?), the tops all still had lace. This is encouraging at least. I think things ARE moving in a better direction with womens' garments, but at a glacial pace it seems.
On a side note, I wonder who is on the garment approval committee. Do you think they pull in the Relief Society and Young Women's presidents on this one?

I'm one that is pretty liberal when it comes to wearing them. I can see where they have helped some people from committing sin. I can see where they tie us together as a group. What I can't wrap my mind around is feeling like this is really important to God. When it comes to that Mormon buffet line this is one course I would leave in the bowl.

Originally posted by ewth8tr View PostIt's got a smaller amount of lace around the neck and none on the sleeves. Other than that and the other things unique to the garment, it looks exactly like an undershirt. My wife said that she believes that the style was called chanise (sp?).PLesa excuse the tpyos.

Originally posted by I.J. Reilly View Postiirc, there is still lace around the neckline, but none around the arms. I'll have to do a thorough check when I get home, but I am for sure that my wife was very happy with the new tops she acquired.

I'm not certain women under 50 have ever been consulted regarding garments."You know, I was looking at your shirt and your scarf and I was thinking that if you had leaned over, I could have seen everything." ~Trial Ad Judge

I realize this isn't the most orthodox solution, but its got to be better than just tossing garments altogether.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Originally posted by falafel View PostNot to keep pushing my suggestion, but you sound very frustrated. Why not just find something that fits you (and is white, and modest) and make your own garment? The church used to sell patterns for members to make their own anyway, so its not like there's no precedent for this.
