Salt Lake Tribune Rebbie Brassfield on the challenges of finding fashionable clothes that work with LDS temple garments, especially during hot summers.
The heat has descended. For the three of us still wearing temple garments, it’s a stressful time.I knew I could trust these two friends partly because they both wear garments. More importantly, I knew they were both as vain as I am.
Before having kids, I had solved the summertime garment issue by simply wearing dresses. Flowy, breathable, god-sent dresses that now take up more than half my closet. Problem is, I now have two young sons and spend most of the summer being water-ballooned.
We text one another from Deseret Book’s dressing room — Wait. Which style did you say works with these shorts? The one I have on goes below my knee, and I’m crying. We smile too hard at the checkout counter, racked by the guilt only a Latter-day Saint girl can know: We have purchased petites, but we’re tall.The longer I attempt to reconcile my faith with my wardrobe, the fuzzier the rules seem. My sister-in-law lives out of state and wears a scoop neck garment top under a V-neck.
