Polygamy Chic
Thursday July 3, 2008
What type of fashion is the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints selling? "Pajamas," said my husband. "His & Hers, Hers, Hers & Hers."
Yeah, the big guy's funny, but way off on this. The FLDS group is now selling their own particular brand of uber-modesty on the FLDS Dress Clothing Site. The site is one way the mothers are supporting themselves after their children were separated from them during the Texas raid on the polygamist sect, according to The Salt Lake Tribune.
It's easy to laugh off the group's fashion offerings. Plenty of fashion people as qualified as Tim Gunn have poked fun at the FLDS group's frumpy puff-sleeved dresses. But here's my bigger question: isn't controlling what someone wears (colors and styles are dictated by the FLDS leaders) just another way to control her behavior?
