And only in Utah (maybe Idaho) would you see a store that sells white clothing for one purpose.

Also, Trek Costumes

White (temple?) clothing might be found in SE Idaho, but not in North Central or North Idaho. Only a few Mormons up north (5% maybe).

Do they have those red mini skirts uniforms Uhura pulled off or just the yucky pant suits of the next generation?

Sounds like an episode of 'Big Bang Theory'; Sheldon and the gang show up in Starfleet uniforms to a small town in Utah--hilarity, handcarts, and investigator discussions ensue...

They can't sell garments there, right?

Do you mean white clothing as in baptismal?

Thanks.

That looks a little creepy for my taste. They look like they're dressing for their own funeral or something.

Yuck.

When I die I want to be buried in something colorful. If not colorful, it most definitely won't be white. And it will be understated but classy.

That ad for White Elegance screams STEPFORD WIVES and daughters.

At those prices, they have to be polyester. ;-)

I don't know what it is, but somehow the stuff at White Elegance is a little bit scary to me. Maybe it's just that it is at *White Elegance* --- not sure. The whole thing sounds like an idea that would not fit in too well in the real world (i.e., outside of the Corridor).

And I somehow wish that it didn't exist anywhere at all....

Agreed. It might be sexist, but I think men in all white is the worst...and where do they get white belts and shoes for men? *shudders*

Did you dress up and visit your bathroom of choice?

Most of my mormon neighbors have a family picture where they're all wearing white. It's creepy. The guys look like they're going to Prom in the 70's & the girls all look like they're getting married. YUK.

Your link is for White Elegance, the manufacturer's website. I believe they also have a few stand-alone stores in, and around the Salt Lake Valley? I'm surprised that Target would be selling their clothing but, if so, I have to applaud White Elegance for what, I would assume to be, a smart business decision that will undoubtedly be a successful venture from a financial standpoint. Out of curiosity, I'll check out Target's website to see which clothing items from White Elegance they are now carrying. Thanks for posting this interesting tidbit :)

Cinda, the White Elegance store is a stand alone store in the Target strip mall complex.

They can have a secondary business selling to Eastern Star ladies who tend to wear the same kind of dresses for installation and initiation.

Yes, Cinda, my apologies for the confusion. I was just leaving Target and saw that store.

I'm sure Target doesn't carry clothes like that, unlike the days when JC Penney carried garments. My parents were sealed in 1964, I was 15 and went with her to the local Penney on Main Street in Midvale, UT to buy their new garments.

If only they could really sell white elegance. Utah would be a better place to live.

Don, they do sell "white elegance" in Utah. It's called a temple recommend.

Looks like you can buy pioneer costumes as well. I always though pioneers were supposed to sew their own clothes out of rags. Huh.

Seems they ginned up an industry around nothing. Because temples and temple attendance are nothing. It's a church about nothing. And is it really elegance? Really?

Time for a store called "Dark and Loathsome."
