Uh.... hate to break it to ya, but any bra over garments looks silly.
Like all things MORmON, they are expecting everyone to fit into the same cookie cutter pattern, and are OBVIOUSLY created by men with no inclination of monthly cycles and boobs.
I love my TBM wife, but every time she puts on a bra over her g's she seems to turn into a 75 year slightly demented grandma. I always have to blink and remind myself that in another few minutes she'll be fully clothed and I can begin to forget what I had just seen.
This had me laughing so hard I was crying. This is how I felt when I looked at MYSELF in the mirror while getting dressed back in the g days. Funny stuff..
I was told in the temple, in the MTC and by a couple of friends that you were only supposed to wear white bras over garments. Anything else would be wrong and sacrilegious. I know that sounds weird as heck but seriously, when you are letting old men you don't know dictate what underwear you choose, pretty much any detail they come up with, no matter how stupid, can also be swallowed.
I was never good enough to get through the temple so I never had to wear them. I used to envy the ladies who did and I felt second class at church. Knowing what I know now, that I've been rockin' the panties, why on earth would a man prefer garments on a female? If they are unattractive why doesn't the priest ban them? LOL
This doesn't make any sense. Why are they wearing bras OVER their garments? When I was endowed I was told by the matron that you could wear them over or under, that it didn't matter anymore. That was only a few years ago...did the rules change again?
"Were you told to wear the bra over or under your garment top? or was either way OK?"
My memory is that responses were approximately 2/3 "bra over", 1/4 "bra under," and a tiny percentage "either way." (Consistency is not a strong point of the LDS Church.)
And most of us were trying so hard to be righteous daughters of HF that we failed to see how ridiculous it was to think that HF would CARE how we layered our underwear!
So after my wife and I were coerced into going through the temple and were at that point TBM's....
My wife was talking to my grandmother about getting some lingerie for our wedding anniversary but couldn't afford it as we were in college at the time.
Grandma's response, "it would just look silly over your garments anyway dear."
That was about 10 years ago and we still laugh ourselves silly over it.
Thank Stephen Hawking that she can wear that sexy stuff without the G's now!
I have a long torso and Gs never looked right around my waistline. I was so excited to get rid of them in order to feel normal again in regular bras and panties.
(Oh, I was told to wear the bra on top of the garments.)
There are several account that in the one-piece with ties garment and wash tub days, you would: 1) remove your garment from one half of your body 2) wash that side 3) put your clean garment on that half 4) remove soiled garment from rest of body, 5) wash that half 6) replace full clean garment on body.
You would also not remove the garment for something as morally trivial as sexual intercourse. That would be too worldly for a peculiar covenant people.
Putting the bra under the garment was just not possible because it became your new "nakedness". Removing your bra for sleeping just would not be possible if you wanted to keep all of the modern pharisee type rules.
