Garment woes

[MustardSeed]

Still can’t get garments unless I want 3XL.  Husband finally was  able to order his regular shirts  - came yesterday but the sleeves hang extra low beyond regular tshirt length!!! What in the world! 
Frankly I’m tired of this.

I feel for you. Having recently realized I'm an autistic person, I hate tight fitting clothing (touch sensitivity), yet I do like many layers of cloths (pressure seeking).

I don't suppose you are open to tailoring it?

Do like a lot of TBM women here in Gilbert AZ and likely Utah do... Wear workout clothes all day and be comfortable....and keep your recommend. Its what all the cool kids do. Of course that would involve working out on a rare occasion and staying in the workout getup for the rest of the day. We would not want to lie to our Bishop about wearing the temple garment day and night throughout your life.

That or keep one's covenants.

Yes, lying is bad.

Does a TBM wear them while swimming, bathing, contact sports, or intense physical exercise? No. Yet, when asked, "Do you wear them?", in an interview, answering "Yes" is an honest assessment of following a rule within its reasonable bounds. The church leaves decisions about when to remove it to individual conscience, prayer, and common sense rather than cultural trends, nor having leaders act as daily wardrobe auditors.

Same on the women’s garment issue. My choices are either triple extra small or triple extra large. I don’t live in Utah so going to an actual distribution center there isn’t an option (though for some reason it does seem like they have them available since I see many many people online getting them) and the distribution center closest to me hasn’t had any either for a while. It’s very frustrating. .

Against the rules unless things have changed.

Sounds like you’re particularly judgmental of what’s going on around you.  My suggestion is drop that burden.

I wish. That is specifically against directives.  But what are we supposed to do?

Hope it’s as beneficial for you as it has been for me.  So much easier to understand why I am reacting in certain ways and have effective ways to deal with it.   Friction with family members is almost absent now and not just by suppression, lol

Not judgmental, just an observation. I’m don’t wear em at all. The workout clothes deal has been a TBM workaround for several years.

Well, the restriction is intended to simply ensure that, first and foremost the sacred marks sewn in remain intact and positioned correctly and to stop people from shortening hems or lowering necklines to fit modern fashion trends, but the rule itself is written as a blanket instruction.

Officially, the instruction is to let the Church handle fit and medical needs through specific official channels. If standard off-the-rack garments do not fit, the Beehive Clothing department provides custom orders for sizes or fabrics, or you can request a special size or custom tailoring directly through Church Distribution Services rather than altering the items at home.

Asolutely no- i do not accept this as being non judgemental at all. Your observations are most certainly judgy.  Your tone is very clear. I would invite you to be a little more self reflective.
