FLDS mothers selling fashions online

“Polygamy’s pop-culture moment now extends to the closet. FLDS women are offering their handmade, old-fashioned children’s clothing for sale online — long underwear, slips and all. At FLDSDress.com, pastel-pink dresses and denim overalls mirror the clothing that intrigued the nation when authorities raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch in Texas in April, taking children into custody while investigating charges of underage marriage and child abuse. There are $65 ‘teen princess’ dresses that stretch from ankle to wrist, long pajamas and matching robes, all sewn by the mothers themselves, even some in Arizona’s own polygamist enclave of Colorado City.” (07/02/08)
