FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 You know, I REALLY like this: http://www.dressedinwhite.com/index.php/woman/dresses/beehive-dress.html a LOT If the one I had decided on (see my first post) doesn't work out I may go with this. Which do you like the most, the171? Those good old mormons make some pretty good dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linnie Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 just a little info on these Mormon dresses. they are not worn for going to church on sunday nor anytime outside of their temple. they are changed into when people arrive at the temple and are worn during the "temple work", including baptism for the dead, etc. personally, I'd feel uncomfortable wearing this type of clothing knowing what it is intended for. but that's just me. I live in a Mormon state and maybe I'm a little overly sensitive about their (very different) rituals. blessings on your confirmation. I wish everyone took it as seriously as you are. linnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Ah, me thinks RED is the color for confirmation. White is more "bridal" don't cha think?! Why the choice of white? Is that traditional in your parish? In every parish I've either worked in or attended, red was always the color for the confirmands. I still have my 3 kids' confirmation robes they wore in 8th grade and they are varying shades of red. Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) What I don't understand is the obsession with the super-short capped sleeve in the "modest" dresses that include LDS clothing. Nobody's arms look good in capped sleeves, unless you are super, super athletic and thin. In other news, congrats on your Confirmation. , a thought- you might have better luck looking online in the springtime, since White is not a fall color.

InPersonaChriste Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 For my confirmation we had a sea of white dresses, everything had to be white (literally from our Mantilla's to our shoes) and the boys would wear a white ribbon tied around their right arm overtop of their suits. It was funny though because then all the english mass kids came in and none of them were wearing white... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureCarmeliteClaire Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 Gotta love this forum... So, at the171 said, yes, the white shows the connection between Baptism and Confirmation. I agree, I don't really want to get a Mormon temple dress, but if the one I really want is sold out, I am so picky that I would have to go with that. Yeah, a lot of the Mormon temple dresses look VERY nightgown-y.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mme_hardy Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 You have to dress in pure white, head to toe, for Temple ceremonies; hence slippers and so on. Personally, I wouldn't see buying clothing from a Mormon site for Confirmation to be any different from buying tichels/snoods for headcoverings from Jewish and Muslim sites. The clothing is not pre-consecrated; it's just that it's made for specific religious purposes. (Which, in the case of Mormons, requires covering the shoulders, hence the cap sleeves.)
