Thought I would update this. I finally found a modest 100% cotton Temple dress. Found it at Dressed In White. This is it: https://www.dressedinwhite.com/www/product.do?pid=1047

I have ordered it and should be receiving it in about another week. After looking all over for one, then looking at patterns and fabrics, I was so happy to find one that costs pretty much what I would have had to spend on fabric, pattern and a seamstress.

Since we are on the subject of temple dress could someone tell me what a temple envelope is for?

[Alaskagain]

Very pretty, Iggy!

Oh, sorry AmyL, wasn't ignoring you. An envelope is an envelope. A temple envelope is an envelope made out of white cloth instead of paper.

It is to hold the ceremonial items.

You look like you are going to wear a bleached Laura Ashley. Very pretty.

Love,
Elphaba, who loves Laura Ashley, but don't tell anyone, cuz it ruins my rep.

I found LDS temple attire when searching for modest gowns, myself. I just read the Terms of Service and they said that a person shouldn't post a URL, so I won't, but just google "temple dress" and follow some links. They're everywhere, and some of them are in cotton or other breathable materials.

Do you mean you aren't supposed to post a URL on here or that the site where you found the dress said you are not supposed to post their URL? That seems a bit odd as they would be doing themselves out of custom.

When you visit the Temple, before having had your endowments, just going to do Proxy Baptisms, do you have to purchase one of the Temple dresses, or can they be hired for the day?

I assume that you can attend the temple, just to visit, wearing normal skirts/dresses?

You won't be changing into a Temple Dress. Wear Sunday clothes,then you will be taken to the Baptistry and given baptism clothes to wear. They will be along the same line as the outfit you wore when you were baptised. You should also wear white knickers- so that they don't show through the white jump suit.

I can't do baptisms because of my ears, but I help guide the young women and help them change and shower afterwords.

You can walk on the Temple grounds, and I do believe that you can enter the Temple and stay in the front lobby. It is recommended that you wear Sunday clothes. Unless you are among a volunteer work crew who is going to clean the Temple grounds, then wear whatever they recommend. Jeans, stout shoes, long sleeved sturdy shirts.
