Is the outfit in the following image considered garment worthy?
In one sense, I would say yes because it covers the leg past the knee On the other hand, no because you would see the garment line and it looks almost the same as a short skirt.
There must be some ruling made by the leadership on this one.
Ladies' garments are a lot thinner and sleeker than male ones. Depending on how tight those hose thingies are, I'm not 100% sure how visible the g-line would be. We'd have to get a ruling by a female (ex)g-wearer on that one. If it would show badly, I would think any TBM woman would be mortified to wear it, whether her priesthood overseers objected or not.

I wore leggings and tunics in the late 90's when that was in style. The leggings were no where near that tight, though.
That particular outfit I would have said no. It looks like she is wearing footless tights under a miniskirt. The skirt is the outerwear that should cover the garmented area, in my opinion.
Oh, and G's would TOTALLY show under those. I mean, I can see the seam under most jeans...I guess I just have a trained eye, though.
I think this would be a gray-area. It would be up to the bishop that saw her in it whether he'd issue a TR or not. Hard-core people are gonna say no way and the more lax people will say it is okay.

Why isn't there a style of garments that would accomodate leggings?
With the first image, I can see where the heels might not be so appropriate for church, but it's not slutty looking at all. Just feminine and attractive.
It's not like she's wearing fishnets, you know?

I'm just guessing but it seems that *any* garment extending down the leg to just above the knee would show under leggings. What if the garment was super thin and tight just like nylon pantyhose? Are any garments like that? Maybe that would work.
