The terms "style" and "temple" have no place in the same sentence.

I know. But I wonder what are the forces that make this so. The patrons or the architects? I mean the leadership when I say architects.

The patrons are doing their best, within the set boundaries... hence the lace and pleats, etc. The leaders... well, they're the ones laughing.

There is a heirarchy, even in the temple.


The members who scurry in carrying their own little suitcase vs the ones who have to pay for rentals....

The whole rental concept is going away, though. It doesn't exist at all at our templ in Raleigh. We have to have our own temple clothes, or we can't do a session.

I'm guessing the rental system isn't a moneyspinner, what with all the laundry implications.
Whereas margins on selling the outfits is much better.

It's called Divine Cost Control.

I hope they have added a question to the temple recommend interview in your area as a result.
Congratulations Sister Liz, you are worthy to hold a temple recommend. Now one final question...
Can you afford the outfit?

Hey guess what? I had a bolt of inspiration. What about a scarf as an alternative to the veil?!

Whatcha think? Seriously! This could be the ticket.

Instead of draping the veil over her face, she can take out a nice scarf and tie it around her neck. That would be awesome.

Or she could just wear a scarf or lace mantilla over her head and not her face. Too Catholic?

Stunning, Blixa.

This brings up another idea I've been thinking about. Rather than doing work for the dead, make the endowment more like Mass.

Flip. Now I need to buy some effing lace.

Hey, wrinkles are not cool, harmony. Not cool at all. That's why I would roll my dress and stick it in my bag.
