The light fabric tanks are more useful for overheating. I ran into the limits of garment with this for the first time truly when visiting Sicily in August. It was literally too hot for me on the streets. Which meant to avoid overheating I didn't wear my garments while touring during the day and wore the loosest linen I could find in the markets to allow my body to properly sweat. My SIL lived in a very hot and humid area in peru and when they talked about getting endowed in relief society, the biggest barrier to the sisters wanting to was the heat and wearing garments in them. There's areas of the world and the US where just a little more adjustability can make a world of difference. And with the garments as is, to make an outfit work with g's with women's clothing means needing layers. So I can often be wearing 3 to 4 layers of fabrics in the summer, making light summer friendly outfits suddenly very warm. When this happens, the garment layer often becomes a glorified sweat collector. Unless you can find just the right shirts that are already garment friendly. Which can become more of less available depending the style that year. As an aside, I'm also looking forward to getting my husband some to reduce pit stains. His garments would last longer if it were for that. I buy pretty expensive deodorant to help reduce them. No way will I get my husband to do that too. With luv, BD

Might sincerely be different times. I wear mine as consistently as seems fit. But what's on my list of "not fit" is definitely more than just swimming.

I think this is a topic I don't have any patience with when it comes to sadness about changes to. It probably didn't help that I just came off of being as big as a house with baby and finding myself overheating when temps went over 70 basically the entire summer. There were times I couldn't wear my garments at all and made several compromises to make them workable for even short periods during the day. Or that I still have had hot flashes post partum. Or spaz spotting. And chronic yeast infections. Or a plethora of lady issues that really could have been helped by the new styles rolling out. It was like I was getting a sampling of all the common problems women face with garments styles in a 6 month period. I would have loved an inch or two less fabric and skirt/slip styled garments. I'm not just happy. I'm excited for this. For all the women like me who would have had to suffer or compromise with the garment on the regular. I feel good for future me who's still very heat sensitive. And I feel no shame in admitting that I'm excited to be able to put on sleeveless outfits. I have an Etsy wish list of things I either want to buy to try to sew just waiting. I never enjoyed maintaining a version of modesty that was never something I really believed in to continue something I truly do. What I can say is I sincerely wish there was space where you could feel comfortable participating and engaging with temple covenants in the way that suits your interpretation of things while maintaining space for how I sincerely view and engage with the temple covenants. That's probably not feasible, but I do wish for you to have space to engage with something I think we both deem sacred. With luv, BD

It likely crosses city boundaries. There are 3 spanish speaking wards in Springville for example. One in each stake. Language wards are often not as geographically centered as are English wards. It wouldn't surprise me if the mapleton members go to either springville or Spanish fork stakes rather that a mapleton one specifically. Or if the article confused wards with branches or other small details tatted would make this clearer.

And I can still appreciate its significance/wisdom in a very different context. 🙃 Besides Star wars is known for it's universal spiritual/cultural themes around light and dark; good and evil. With luv, BD

Really appreciated this quote from one of the survivors that I ran into today: From this article
