"Adjustments in Temple Ceremonial Clothing," January 17, 2020, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, accessed February 7, 2024
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Adjustments in Temple Ceremonial Clothing
We are pleased to announce adjustments to the sacred ceremonial clothing worn only in the temple. These clothing adjustments do not change temple doctrine or symbolism but are designed to enhance members' experience in the temple and make the ceremonial clothing easier to put on, care for, and afford.
If preferred, members may continue to use their current ceremonial clothing.It need not be replaced by the new style. For additional information, see "Improving Our Temple Experience" at Liahona.ChurchofJesusChrist.org or go to store.ChurchofJesusChrist.org/ceremonialclothing. We express our gratitude for members' faithful efforts to worship in the temple. We know that regular attendance will bring increased joy and happiness.
Sincerely yours,
Russell M. Nelson
