Ann Romney and garment question

[angel333]

I was watching a late night talk show last night and Anne Romney had on a dress that hiked way up when she sat down.The first thing I noticed was there was no way she was wearing garments.Ive seen this with Marie Osmond also(dancing with the stars outfits) is it ok to not wear your garments when you are performing or acting ? I am a performer and there is no way no how I would go without my garments.The people I perform for know I am lds and I would not want them to question what i am questioning about these ladies today.What do you think?

There is, apparently, an entire website devoted to examining her outfits and whether or not she is wearing garments. Honestly, I really couldn't care and I think it's a waste of time to sit there examining it.

Do what you're comfortable doing. What the current celebrity of the moment does is irrelevant.

Margin of error,If you read my post then you know the real question was Is it ok to not wear your garments when you are performing or acting? I don't care if she wears them or not,none of my buisness. Are you a member? Do you know the answer?

[MarginOfError]

My answer stands. Do what you are comfortable doing.

It is acceptable to not wear garments when participating in physical sports. Something to the effect of Dancing With The Stars or Ballet & many other forms of dance are very much a physical sport albiet not a sport that we generally would think of or classify as such.

Acting?

I commend you for your question.

One thing that has sticks in mind from the day I took out my own endowment some decades ago is a statement the Temple President made about remembering the purpose of the garment and urged us to seek to gain a greater understanding of the times it may not be approppriate to wear the garment while desiring to wear them always.

IMHO Anything beyond the basic church stance it is generally a matter between you & the Lord. Are you comfortable with the answer you would give if He asked you why you did not wear the garment?

My one criticism (upon which I should not dwell) is that I don't think Mrs. Romney being on a talk show falls under acting/performing. However, ever since a high school art teacher taught us how to "undress" people in order to better sketch them, I've been in the habit of garment searching. I've learned that I can rarely be 100% and I don't know what to do with any conclusions, anyway.

But yes, I do think that if garments and the activity at hand just don't mesh, it's fine not to wear the garment as long as you aren't seeking excuses. For me, if I'm practicing yoga in the privacy of my own home, my garments and nothing else are a very good work-out outfit. However, if I'm going to the gym, I do not wear the garment underneath my work--out clothes. This largely has to do with comfort as I can't stand to have layers when I'm working out.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge whether she was wearing garments or not. Some garments will shrink up over time. I have one pair of old bottoms that barely hit me mid-thigh when I sit down now that were the proper length when I bought them. I also have a pair of bottoms the same size but in a different fabric that still go well below the knee.

You mean this outfit?


I don't know why you think she's not wearing garments here. The hem length would cover garments. Also, when this type of skirt hikes up, the garments would too. Only garments worn with loose flowing skirts would be free to remain where it is when the skirt moves.

I have skirts that hem length that cover my garments quite well if I'm wearing the right style.
