This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.
I'm a man, so I can't really empathize with trying to find a garment appropriate dress, but there has to be better options that Cheryl Flake's choice for her hubby's senate reelection kickoff party. I'm pretty sure that's a shirt over her garments, but might as well just have been the garments.

Tell me this is photoshopped!
There is no way someone could make that kind of mistake...right?
Goodness....
"The real things haven't changed. It is still best to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasures; and have courage when things go wrong." -Laura Ingalls Wilder
Maybe it is virtue signaling, I don't know. In her defense (and I had never heard of them until today), I think mormon women get so used to the mormon ways of dealing with garments, they don't realize how silly it looks to the general population. A t-shirt is not the solution to everything. I can only think that if I were in her position and knowing I would be photographed by the media, I would have chosen a different dress or taken it to the tailor to have it appropriately lined.
I will add that the one thing I miss about garments in the summer is the ability to wear white with no underwear lines. However, I don't miss wearing multiple layers in the summer. I'm still not going back.

See this kind of "mistake" constantly in the MorCor.
My favorite was a "Tube-Top" over a white t-shirt. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry...
Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. -Frater Ravus
I'm just glad I don't have to wear shade/downeast/whatever shirts with everything under the sun anymore.
Even if it's something disappointing, it's still better to know the truth. Because people can deal with disappointment. And once they've done that, they can feel that they have really grown. And that can be such a good feeling. -Fred Rogers
I think the signalling is completely understandable considering the kind of heat and speculation Anne Romney endured. Maybe the future for the wives of LDS candidates is to just ditch the outward clothing altogether and go out in public wearing garments and nothing else. I don't know if this is intentional or not. I kind of hope it is.
At 70 years-old, my older self would tell my younger self to use the words, "f*ck off" much more frequently. --Helen Mirren

I thought exactly the same thing (as I'm pretty sure that's what she's wearing)!
As to the picture, all I thought was: "Yikes!! Buy a dress that's not sheer on the top!"
"There came a time when the desire to know the truth about the church became stronger than the desire to know the church was true."
