What? They r still ugly!!!! So...beats me what prompted it. Except, women staying home n popping out babies need more flexible and comfortable waist bands.
there was a survey done a short while ago asking members what they wanted to change. these changes were largely based on the survey. what was that prophet quote about garments not changing with the "whims" of fashion/times?....lol the church is constantly contradicting it's own doctrines/prophecies/policies - it's so laughable to me now.
follow the money... do they cost more? are they less costly to produce? will the women buy more pairs? will they buy them because they are different just to try them out?
Generally when you are talking about "eased fit through hips, seat, and legs" along with a "relaxed waistband," you are talking about accommodating women who are either larger, need more comfort, or both.
My question is, do garments really need to be larger and baggier than they already are?
The new low-rise waist seems to be a concession to modern ideas of dressing. It would also give greater comfort to many women.
If I still wore garments, I'd be pretty happy about the change.
Every time I ordered them (same style, size, fabric), they were different. My last time ordering garments, the waist on the bottoms was SO high that I actually measured from crotch to waistband. It was 17 inches. 17 INCHES PEOPLE!! That's like half a yard! That goes up to my armpits. No woman feels good in underpants that go up to her armpits.
So when you start off your day feeling like a frump in a full-body sausage casing, it affects how you feel the rest of the day.
I am so, so happy to not be wearing those things anymore!
YES! I'm a tall person, but very lean and the stupid garment bottoms went all the way up to my boobs!! I couldn't believe the measurement was so off. I assumed I was the problem, it never occurred to me that the church would make a bad product. I was so brain washed. I just rolled the waist band down a million times, so I ended up with a really thick roll around my waist. Even still, the crotch usually drooped, and bunched. It was so uncomfortable, I can't believe I used to suffer through wearing those. It all seems so ridiculous and controlling to me now
I always rolled the waist too! Then I felt guilty for "altering the garment" or not wearing them correctly.
Now I can't even believe I wasted any time feeling guilty about rolling my underwear down so I could be more comfortable. I can't believe I was worried about what God would think about how I wore my underwear waistband.
Anyone women specifically change into sexy lingerie prior to having their temple recommend interview with the bishop AND answer YES to wearing garments day and night and watch the unfazed bishop move on to the next question?
Perhpas some clever ladies here knew discernment was bullshit and plainly put it to the test.

I wish I had not resigned already only to have fun like this! And to have the courage to stand up and walk out of a temple session when Qued to:)

I don't know how you all wore them either. I can't stand anything but a high cut leg/thin seamless micro-fiber, and can't imagine how claustrophobic garments must be. You should receive a medal or something.
Sausage casing, scuba suit... misery. All it took was seeing my mother wearing them. My retinas were never the same.
