Mormon Women ECSTATIC about Garments Change | Ep. 2010

 Apr 15 2025 After nearly two centuries of strict modesty standards, the Mormon Church has made a historic change—women’s garments now allow for exposed shoulders. In this in-depth panel, Mormon women unpack the significance of this shift. From the garments' Masonic roots and historical designs to the ways they’ve shaped modesty culture, sexuality, and control over women's bodies, this conversation dives deep. The panel also explores the social media response, health concerns, and the ongoing discomfort many women still face. With personal stories, historical context, and commentary on the new designs, this is a must-watch discussion on a topic rarely spoken about so openly.Show NotesYouTube00:00:00 Introductions00:18:15 Rules around garments00:26:32 Modesty culture shaped by garments00:34:10 Church doctrine around garments00:39:50 Modesty policing among members - “garment checking”01:06:00 The effect of garments on a couple’s sex life01:25:00 Photos of the new garment designs01:32:00 How would they have received this info as an active believer?01:51:00 Nancy’s final comments02:02:35 @AndreaFausett video02:09:28 @VikaFroclieh video02:18:00 Video of woman walking into church in new garments02:25:25 Discussion on if tight fitting clothing is okay02:27:00 “Gen Z is different”02:28:10 Third @AndreaFausett video02:332:26 Sharing superchat comments02:34:54 @NicoleEversten video02:36:25 Second @VikaFroclieh video02:42:30 @Haleyrawle video02:51:20 @Exponentii_blog video (Abby’s video)02:55:32 Final thoughtsMormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today:One-time or recurring donation through DonorboxSupport us on PatreonPayPalVenmoOur Platforms:YouTubePatreonSpotifyApple PodcastsContact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117Social Media:Insta: @mormstoriesTikTok: @mormonstoriespodcastJoin the Discord
