  1. I wonder how many women, if any, were consulted in this decision? Does the... General RS presidency get consulted? Just curious. I'll admit, it seems weird to have a group of men decide to make changes to women's underwear. But maybe I'm just speaking up because I don't care for the lace.

    1. I don't have any more information on this Jennifer. If I had to guess, I'd say this was probably not the GA's idea. I find it hard to imagine these older men deciding on their own to add lace to women's garments.
