A Guide to Dressing in the FLDS: What Women Should Wear and How.

Within the Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamous offshoot of the Mormon faith, there are certain expectations for how women should dress. Depending on their age and social status, different rules may apply to FLDS women.

Generally, FLDS women must dress modestly at all times. This includes wearing clothing that covers the shoulders and chest area and clothing that is neither too tight nor too loose. Clothing should extend past the knees, as shorts and skirts that end above the knee are deemed inappropriate.

Jewelry is typically discouraged within the FLDS community but this rule may vary by family. Some families may allow jewelry to be worn in moderation while others forbid it altogether.

Women’s hair should be worn long with no perms or dyes used, and it should be styled simply and conservatively - no extra styling products or accessories such as bows or clips should be used either. Women in some families may be expected to wear wigs to cover their natural hair as an added layer of modesty if needed.

Proper upper garments for FLDS women include shirts, blouses, turtlenecks or sweaters with sleeves extending past the elbows; sleeveless garments are not allowed unless covered with a sweater or shawl overtop for extra modesty if needed.

Skirts are typically required for all FLDS women over age nine; many families require ankle-length skirts while others require full-length skirts that reach past the ankles onto the floor when kneeling - though some families do allow knee-length skirts in certain colors and styles if paired with leggings underneath for additional coverage as needed.

Shoes must also meet specific requirements; no sandals, open-toe shoes or high heels are allowed - flats or sneakers with closed toes are typically acceptable choices for day-to-day wear but church Sundays may require more formal dress shoes such as low heels and boots below mid shin length with closed toes if heel straps are included on dress shoes chosen by some families..

Women must also take care when choosing outerwear such as coats and jackets; exposed zippers must be hidden by adding a shawl overtop of parkas or coats while sweaters can be buttoned up to meet requirements when exposed zippers cannot be hidden from view by other methods.. Young girls in some families may also have special jumpers they wear if outerwear is deemed necessary due to cold weather conditions outside..

For church Sundays within FLDS communities, special attire is typically required which includes white blouses with long sleeves extending past the elbows paired with long skirts that reach past the ankles; head coverings such as white scarves may also be required for church days only depending on family preference but must meet certain modesty guidelines if worn at all.. Formal hats such as bonnets can sometimes also replace required scarves according to family preference.. No jewelry is allowed during church days even if it’s permitted during regular daily wear for certain families within the FLDS community.. White gloves may sometimes also be allowed depending on community standards set by each individual family unit.. Lastly, there are even special undergarments which can only be obtained within FLDS communities based off of traditional historical garments worn by faithful members within fundamentalist Mormonism sects which offer extra layers of modesty beneath regular daywear attire.. These undergarments remain hidden from view beneath regular outerwear but provide extra coverage when needed depending on family preferences per individual unit bases unlike any other type of modest clothing fabric available elsewhere without joining this polygamous religious sect..

Notably, all clothing choices made by FLDS women must follow strict religious guidelines based off traditional teachings derived from original LDS scriptures in order to stay true to their faith which mandates how they can dress in order to remain active followers within this unique fundamentalist religion uniquely separate from mainstream Mormonism outside these insular communities located mainly throughout Utah itself including fundamentalism offshoot sects found elsewhere across North America like Canada known formally was Canadian Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints (CFLD) found near Alberta's Bountiful district surrounded by mountains close their own compound property lines belonging to this sect specifically instead.. Finally, there is an emphasis placed on remaining humble while wearing clothing items rather than appearing snazzy; flashy outfits will not win any points among other members inside these religious circles where modesty reigns supreme amongst core faithful followers who practice polygamy openly refusing traditional norms found outside its own insular territories governed completely differently
