Mormon bloggers accuse Ann Romney of not wearing her "garments" [View all]

Mormon bloggers accuse Ann Romney of not wearing her “garments”

Wednesday night when Ann Romney walked out onto the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, apparently some people were more concerned about her hemline than what she had to say.

Looking at photos from Ann’s appearance on the show, Mormon blog sites blew up accusing Ann of not wearing her temple garments, something all LDS people are expected to do who've been through the temple.

One writer on lds.net commented - "The first thing I noticed was there was no way she was wearing garments." Others said "In this picture, it's clear she's not, or that she's pushed up the sleeves." And – "Is it possible Ann is tall enough that they would not have shown when she sat down?"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doesn't like to talk about garments, they consider them sacred. But for people who wear temple garments it's common knowledge that the bottom part is supposed to come down to about the knee.

Ann Romney was showing a little knee on an appearance this week on Jay Leno's show. Judging from some of the blogs out there, you'd think she'd blasphemed.

She wore a staple of every woman's wardrobe... the little black dress. It was fashionable, but in my opinion tasteful.

And yes, it did have sleeves.

But because we saw her knees on national TV, apparently some Mormons are accusing her of not wearing the temple garment.
