Only White Bra?

[amo72]

If we wear garments, are we only supposed to be wearing a white bra, or is okay to wear different colors?

When you're in the temple, you should only wear white.

I don't think it matters what color bra you're wearing under your clothes, and utop of your garments. I've never heard anything spoken about in Priesthood about the color of anything worn utop garments, except as Wingnut said, in the Temple.

By covenant the holy garment of the priesthood is to be worn next to the skin. The color of any habiliment placed over it is of no consequence to the covenant. However, how we ware habiliments over our covenant garments, including color, can have repercussions and flags of modesty or immodesty within specific cultures in which we are currently residing.

Bingo.

Good way of stating that, Traveler.

I don't think it matters... however, I prefer to wear white just because I think colored bras over garments look odd! Judging by that whole "post your bra color" trend on Facebook a couple months ago, though, I'm in the minority on that one.

the only reason you should wear a white bra to the temple is your other clothes are white and you don't want it showing through. lol

there are no restrictions on bra color or if it should be worn over or under the garment (though that is covered thoroughly in other threads), all of that is personal preference.

i think it's understood that one should use modesty in choosing bra color. i'm kinda put off by the women who wear bright red or black bras under white shirts. i don't see the bishop thinking that's a good idea. i know women that only wear flesh toned bras. they find they are the most versatile and when wearing a white shirt it's actually "more" modest because it doesn't "show" the way skin vs a white bra will show through. so there is no distraction of "i can see her bra". of course flesh toned on top of white garments would counteract this effort.

in some other threads there has been some concern expressed about not feeling "sexy" in garments. there are a lot of fun bras that can make up for that.

This is actually what got me wondering. I must have heard or thought I heard somewhere that I was only supposed to be wearing white bras...so I was suprised by that whole facebook thing.

But what about a bright red or black bra under a bright red or black shirt? Garments or not, no one should wear a bright red or black bra under a white shirt. That's, like, Bra-Wearing 101.

When a sister comes to the temple with a colored bra (because she forgot to change to a white one) we double slip them under their dress so the bra doesn't show through. Some of the younger sisters carry an extra white bra in their temple bags just in case they forget.

There is nothing wrong with wearing a colored bra over your garments under everday clothing.

Personally I prefer a white bra over my garments. amo72, I don't think you're in the minority as far as endowned members are concerned. The FB thing was not endowed members only.
