K-2 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Here's something pertaining to women:"Some brides have brought inappropriate wedding dresses to the temple for the marriage ceremony. Brides and their parents or guardians should understand the requirements clearly before they make or purchase the wedding dress. They should also be aware that lovely and tasteful wedding dresses are available at the temple for use during the endowment and marriage ceremonies.All dresses worn in the temple should be white, have long sleeves, be modest in design and fabric, and be free of elaborate ornamentation. Sheer fabric should be lined. Woman’s pants are not permitted in the temple. The dress should not have a train unless it is removable so that it will not be encumbering during the temple ceremonies, though it could be worn for photographs following the marriage or at a later reception."—Bulletin, 1992-1, p. 2I'm sure the same standard would apply to men. It was necessary to wear long sleeves until 1975 because up until then people were required to wear the old one-piece long sleeved garments when doing temple work. Link to comment

Hamba Tuhan Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 why? any reason that you know of?I don't know the reason. I just know the requirement. You can wear anything you want to the temple, but to participate in an endowment or sealings, you need to have long sleeves regardless of gender. Link to comment
Popular Post Whiskeypete Posted March 28, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) On a hot summer day, I had gone with the youth to do baptisms. I was going to be a witness – not actually doing the baptisms – so I kept on my short sleeve white shirt and put on my white pants and tie. When I came out of the dressing room they asked me if I had a long sleeve white shirt. I replied that I didn't. I was told that I was not allowed to wear a short sleeve white shirt and if I didn't have one to change into they have to have me wear one of the jumpsuits. That was fine. I felt kind of silly that I hadn't thought about wearing a long sleeve white shirt to go to the temple. So i changed into one of the jumpsuits. About 20 minutes later I look down and realize that the jumpsuits that you wear in the baptistery have short sleeves... Edited March 28, 2013 by Whiskeypete 6 Link to comment

This also makes sure that the collar bones are covered as well, something that isn't needed for modesty but is necessary when in the temple. Edited March 28, 2013 by bluebell 1 Link to comment
BlueDreams Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 why? any reason that you know of?I dunno.....probably for the same reason women have to wear white tights that are at least knee-long. It's apart of the expected attire for certain ordinances. With luv,BD Link to comment
Saints Alive Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Apparently we will all wear long sleeves in the CK. That might be reason enough for me to aspire to one of the other kingdoms... I hear the sons of perdition are nudist JK Edited March 28, 2013 by Saints Alive Link to comment
cdowis Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 About 20 minutes later I look down and realize that the jumpsuits that you wear in the baptistery have short sleeves...It is not a shirt, but a jumpsuit. For practical reasons, a jumpsuit with long sleeves would be very difficult to put on and take off, especially if it is wet. Link to comment

mfbukowski Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Imagine going into someone's office for an upper level business conference.Do you expect the guy behind the big desk to be wearing a white shirt with short sleeves and a clip-on tie?Maybe a tennis outfit, yes, maybe a Hawaiian shirt- but if it's a white shirt and tie, and this is serious stuff, it's gonna be long sleeves.White shirts and a tie and short sleeves are for missionaries who look totally formal riding a bike, but totally casual if you take the same outfit into a serious environment.Reminds me of the phrase "wet behind the ears" for some reason......
