Commentary: Hallelujah! Mormon women’s temple garments just got a lot better

Last month on social media, I started seeing cryptic references to improvements to the fit and fabric of Mormon women’s temple garments. Women were waxing rhapsodic about this, like Lululemon levels of rhapsodic.

In general, I’m skeptical about rumors like these, having heard many times that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was “just on the verge” of creating a sleeveless top, for example, and then seeing nothing come of it. Ditto with wild rumors about these white garments becoming available in other colors, or hopes that LDS policy would revert back to the old days when temple garments were worn only in the temple and not every day.
