Mormon Stories - Lds

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
