How to Choose an LDS Temple Dress
The best LDS temple dress is white, comfortable enough to sit, kneel, and change in easily, and made from a soft fabric that doesn't cling or wrinkle — and it can still be cute. This guide covers what to look for, the little details that make a difference (front zippers, pockets, petite lengths), and how to pick the right one. When you're ready to shop, our whole Temple Dresses collection is white, current, and — because we don't restock — always changing.
1. Start with the fabric
You'll be in this dress for a couple of hours, sitting and moving, so fabric matters most. Look for something soft, breathable, and washable that doesn't cling or crease when you sit. Our temple dresses are chosen with this in mind — everyday-comfortable, not stiff or scratchy.
2. Comfort details that make a real difference
- Front zippers — several of our temple dresses have a front zipper, which makes getting in and out simple (a favorite for nursing moms and quick changes).
- Pockets — more useful than you'd think.
- A relaxed, easy cut — you want to move comfortably, not tug at anything.
3. Get the length right — including petite
Length is the detail most people get wrong. If you're on the shorter side, a regular-length dress can overwhelm you. We carry petite temple dresses cut shorter so the hem lands right. If you're taller, our regular lengths are made to still feel modest and comfortable.
4. Cute is allowed
A temple dress doesn't have to be plain. Little touches — eyelet, a tiered skirt, embroidery, a smocked bodice — keep a simple white dress feeling current and pretty. That's how we choose every style: comfortable and something you look forward to wearing.
5. Buy the one you love when you see it
We bring temple dresses in small batches and rarely restock, so styles sell out and don't come back. If you find one you love, it's best to order it before it's gone rather than wait.
