Just ordered me a hair wig and skirt. That breeze is going to feel epic in the summer, and my head will stay warm in the winter! Hand made too, quite the bargain.

This country could use a little back to the basics stuff! In fact at least they are willing to work to raise money and they are not asking for handouts like alot of other freeloaders!

So much for the "simpleminded, brainwashed" women theory. I'll wager that the site will do well.

I'm placing an order for each of my little ones.

Back to the Basics -

now that's funny. As many of these freeloading FLDS living off the welfare in Arizona and Utah - and you say "at least they're willing to work and not ask for handouts"? What planet have you been living on?

Before you say that they aren't collecting in Texas, rest assured that the welfare checks received in Utah and Arizona are headed straight to YFZ. The only ones working from YFZ are the families that have left and gotten real jobs near where their kids were.

And if you make your children wear these clothes, you are no better than FLDS at denying the rights your children were born with. You want to turn your kids into little mini-clones of FLDS, you go right ahead. If they're older than 8 yrs old, they will hate you for it (as well they should.)

This is not the 1800's and it's stupid for people to act like it is. You want to live the confined life of FLDS, where women have no rights and children are indoctrinated from birth? Then I suggest Afganistan - you would love it there.

Or you can join the 21st century.

Oh! my gosh! | 3:35 p.m. June 24, 2008
The Flds clothing are the ugliest uniforms I have ever witnessed on this planet. To tell the truth- Star Trek has a better clothing outlet.

No man will ever tell me how to dress. Good grief!--this is nauseatingly.

Modesty is fine, but to walk around looking like a tent every day of ones life is way off base.

The fashions of the 1800� were quite stylish. The FLDS dresses do not resemble the 1800�s in way shape or form. There is no style to their clothing period! The FLDS garbs are controlling straight jackets. You may find the same sort of thing in many other controlled polygamy groups. The men are very sick, and choose to take the free will away from woman who is as well a human being. Woman I know enjoy different hairdos that make them comfortable. Clothing that doesn�t create attention which FLDS clothing surly creates much attention...Quite pitiful and not normal.

I notice the FLDS are posting--doesn't take them too long to get ticked off- Oh well.

Interesting and confusing web site. Who is doing this? The prices are far too low for the quality of the outfits. The fancy girls dresses would be perfect for a wedding.

I wouldn't even be buried or cremated in such a dress. The price should be even lower than what it is....like free for the homeless.

That's why I'm glad we live in america. You can choose how you want to dress, I can choose how I want to dress. No one is forcing you to dress the way I do.

Laura -

no one in their right mind would wear those clothes on a hot summer day - so that just goes to show just how brainwashed these women are....

So pls don't say "no one is forcing you to dress the way I do" because all the FLDS women are being forced to wear what they wear... They're just so far gone they don't realize it. It's not modesty - it's called control by the owners (the men).

Realitycheck-

It probably would depend on if the person would rather a sweltering sun burn by wearing practicly nothing or not.

Since you have never been apart of the FLDS you have no proof whatsoever they are forced to wear those dresses.

If the FlDS choose to dress modest, bless their hearts! You couldn't convince them not too, and rest assured, they aren't going to try convince you to dress the way they do either! This is America. Get use to it.

realitycheck, there are women who like to dress modestly. I know women who dress the same way. They are far from being controlled by anyone. You are correct that it is not the 1800's, so why do you still practice religious intolerence and bigotry?

you can dress modestly and not be a freak. What don't you get? The clothes have NOTHING to do with religion. They have to do with the people being indoctrinated from birth that these are the clothes you WILL wear. You really think 7,000 women all want to dress the same every day? Do you not understand human nature?

The wearing of these clothes (including the long-johns - to prevent sunburn?lol) have absolutely nothing to do with religion. They have to do with control. People dressing alike and living alike are MUCH easier to control than those that don't.

I am neither intolorant nor bigoted. I am for freedom, which the FLDS is severly lacking. Most of America understands that the only way these women and children would live that way is through significant continual control. Do you understand that?

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
