FLDS women start online clothing store
Filed under: Work Life, In The News, Shopping
School shopping is just around the corner. If you're looking to dress your daughters in long prairie dresses and long underwear, then I have just the site for you.When the 400-plus children of the Yearning for Zion ranch were removed by child protective services earlier this year, the sect's clothing was a major topic of conversation in the media. The enterprising women of the FLDS are building on that attention and have started their own website, where parents can buy princess dresses, overalls, and long underwear for the whole family.
The website started as a way for child protective services to clothe the children in their custody, but is now being turned into a business to help mothers pay bills related to their legal battles. Many have been advised not to return to the ranch, and are having to pay for rent and utilities.
Is there really a market for teen princess dresses and prairie-wear? The women say they've had a "flood of demand," but I have a feeling that many tween and teen girls are thinking more Miley Cyrus when they shop and less Texas fundamentalist religious sect.

Jenni said...Although you could probably never get a teen into one of these dressed, I think the younger children's dresses, overalls, etc... are actually fairly adorable. I'd buy them if I were in the market for them.
And I don't know that I would go to that extreme, but some teenagers would benefit from some outfits like these.
