And the advice that she implemented, despite the fact that she hated it.

    A few years ago while getting some new garments, she asked the matron there about it. Apparently the matron told her that there was no policy about where the bra should be on top or beneath the garment, so she could do what was most comfortable.

    Below it's been ever since.
    This has not been something my wife has ever solicited my opinion on.

      My bishop informed his wife this year that this was not policy(the over the garment thing). She in turn told other women in the ward and there was much rejoicing.

        honestly, my bra holds my garments in place. so it's weird, but it's better than having my garments slipping and sliding everywhere.

          Bras also last much longer going over than under. Or so I have been told.

              Why did I think you had not been to the temple yet? Or are you talking about a different non-temple garment?

                          Sometimes I think this is fine. If the youth are going to have a meeting in the chapel, I think it is fine to ask them to dress up a bit. Some people have extended this line of thinking a bit further than I would. For Christmas, our ward choir is singing one song with the Activity Day girls. I arranged with the leader to have a practice on the night they usually meet, and had a bunch of choir members there. The AD leader got released that week, so on Wednesday night the assistant leader was in charge. I reminded her about the song, and asked her if it was still OK to practice. The conversation went like this:

                          AD Leader: Yes, that's fine. Where are you going to practice?
                          Me: In the chapel. The choir is there.
                          ADL: Uh oh, that could be a problem. We are having a pajama party today, and the girls are wearing pajamas.
                          Me: That's OK, I don't mind

                          The leader's look told me that she didn't think it was appropriate for sweat-pants wearing girls to enter the chapel, but I pretended not to notice.
                          This one annoys me as well. I get that we should dress up for most activities held in the chapel, but in most churches on my mission the chapel was also the cultural hall and whatever else we needed it to be.
                          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                            That a priesthood holder has to be in the building any time there is any activity, even a relief society activity.
                            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.

                              Yeah, I don't remember this one growing up, but it has reared its ugly head lately.

                                The "presiding" priesthood holder in the home has to call on someone to pray.
