    A "mute" point, if you are on Cougarboard or Utefans.

      On a semi-related note, given that g's are supposed to promote modest dress, is anyone else shocked by how much rack chick's can show while still wearing them? This always seems strange to me.
      It's the one thing we have. SHHHH!!!!! If they hear you, they will make them turtle necks!!! Then we will have NOTHING to look at!

        Turtle necks are sexy.

          I feel alien in these things. I can't wear simple, modest clothes without looking deformed. The body garments produce is not ME. I don't look like this.

          I love the covenants that these garments represent, but I want off this boat.
          I'm fairly well connected in the Utah County legal community and from what I've heard you need all the encouragement you can get to wear modest clothing. Hell, I heard you couldn't even wear something to a law school-sponsored role play without revealing something extra special. You're barking up the wrong tree here, you need to be wearing garments more until you shape up!

            Then again, the quality is much lower too.
            As usual wrong again! I've had a choice crew neck for nine years. I've had bottoms for up to seven years. That's a great ROI. Garments get better with age, especially the bottom. Eventually you get more ventilation around the four year mark.

                  ...and the pioneers thought they had it rough. No wonder they'll be seeking us out in the after life to praise us for enduring hardship...be that a female who has to wear such awful under-attire or being married to one having to wear such awful under-attire.

                  Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                    First of all... The "extra" material from the crotch to the waistline... What the hell is all that for? If I pull my G bottoms all the way up, they ride midway between my boobs and my hips, NOT my waist. It is like they are compensating for the portly women who work in Beehive Clothing with a FUP.

                    I do not wear my G bottoms all the way up, I roll them down so they rest on my hips, and it is not so I can wear low-rise jeans.

                    Second... The tops... Ugh. I am currently taking a break from the tops because I am nursing. I just don't want to deal with them because it can make an awkward situation become a frustrating situation. I totally recommend to any nursing mother to scrap them for the first little while.

                    Third... The tags... When did they change the silky tags to those plastic-y ones? Those plastic-y ones poke and are a nuisance. I have ripped every plastic tag out of my Gs and now have a hole... Which my three-year-old loves to point out and tease me by sticking her finger in there... Don't worry, she doesn't get any crack.

                    Fourth... Mrs. Funk. I have found the dry-silk Gs to be my preference. When I wear my street clothes, they flow more easily and you don't feel like you have so many layers. If you wear cotton Gs with cotton clothes, there is too much friction. It seems like the Gs and clothes tend to stick together.

                    Thank you Lord, that we have two-piece Gs instead of the one-piecers...
                    Thank you. Another complaint of mine. They should totally be tagless. They need to get on the Hanes bandwagon.
                    What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

                        The 1923 change was extremely controversial. Many Mormons found it scandalous that women would be able to walk around with their arms and ankles exposed.

                            BTW, I think it's idiotic to wear them while exercising. I've known only one person in my life who does that, though. (Not, not I, smart-alecs.)

                            • I'd like to thank everyone's posts on this thread....very entertaining. Mrs. Funk, Marsupial, cUTEy, Super...love it, too funny.

                              There are certainly some peculiararities among the LDS culture...made me laugh, but I totally understand what you're saying.

                                It would have been fun to watch the discussion on CB in 1920 between those who were suggesting a change be made to Temple Clothing and those who were defending the status quo.

                                Change doesn't come easy. I will bet they first started considering the change in 1905.
