I love your video, I am not a mormon yet, but I am getting married, I am soo distressed to discover that mostly all the wedding dresses available, or dresses in general are all revealing I never realised it till i decided buying clothing that coverered my shoulders, im not a tiny women so it is even more difficult to find something my shape. It is nice to see you made a change in the industry.
What a good example you are Athelia. A boy that would make an issue of someone wanting to keep their religious standards high is probably not the kind of guy I would want for my own daughter. Great job seeing a need and turning it into a business.
Love Shabby Apple. I'm also a mom with Addison's. Its totally possible to have children with this disease, I just had my 7th. Thanks for making modest clothes and being a shining example.
I love Shabby Apple! I had no idea that it was created by a Mormon - I know Mormons care about modesty, but starting up a business to promote and encourage it is very impressive. Another great source for beautiful, modest fashion is Eliza Magazine, just fyi.
So I love Shabby Apple's clothing because it's so beautiful and modest, but haven't bought anything yet because it's a little pricey. Now that I know it's made by someone who cares so much about values and morals, I am totally buying from Shabby Apple!!! Sincerely, a modest-clothing-loving Episcopalian
When this video first came out, it changed my life! I'm an aspiring fashion designer and to see another woman like me was groundbreaking! I now have to the confidence to follow my dreams. Thank you Athelia and mormon.org! :)
@douglasandanita I'm not a dancer (by any stretch) but there are some activities that have a different standard of dress in order to be done well (athletics being a big one). The point is that looking beautiful is not something that needs to show skin for skin's sake. You may not be able to dance as well with sleeves, but you can look and feel beautiful, attractive and confident.
My name is Antonio Maurice Nash and I like to say thank you to the young ladies in the capital hill branch for their positive advice that they have shared with me since the day I became a member people like Stephanie Melissa Mary Frances Courtney and so many others and to the guys in that area I leave you with these few words which is this many people wish for that one goal in their lives and begin to think or feel that they can not go any more than that but the way that I see it this guy intends to be the leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and if is anyone who feels like they can stop me I say just bring it I am looking forward to hearing from every member of this church
In the 1985 Oct General Conference, Pres Hinckley reported that the men serving in the First Presidency, the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and the First Quorum of the Seventy serve "for life." In these callings, if required, they are given a modest living allowance. The money comes from the Church's business account and not from the tithing fund or any other donations. The Church pays taxes on all business income.
Mormons have lay leadership. We call our pastors bishops. My former bishop was a plumber, my current bishop is a mechanical engineer. Their salary is $0. I'm the equivalent of the youth minister for my congregation. My salary for that is $0.
@douglasandanita In ballet you need to be able to see the lines of the body to make sure you are doing some moves correctly as well.I love these I am a Mormon series! I am sharing on Facebook!
Actually, leaders in the Mormon church don't get paid. It's a lay (volunteer) clergy. Even the missionaries with the white shirts and name tags pay their own way to serve for two years. We do it because we love the Lord and want to help and bless everyone we can. :)
"One key difference is that the followers pay and the leaders get paid." Just a note that your "key difference" is incorrect. The Mormon/LDS Church does not have a paid clergy.
Okay, just an FYI, Mormons actually don't go on and on about God and such and we DO like to have fun like everyone else. We just...have fun the Mormon way xD
i find what you have to say is very very wrong. the followers and leaders are the same people . i don't know how you got that idea but its wrong. i think that her idea was extremely cool. all she was doing was making clothes that didn't show any private areas. how is that manipulative? i call it really respectful to girls bodies and her religion. i don't mean to be rude, i just thought yo should no that what you have to say is very wrong.. before you judge others make sure YOUR perfect.
How is her religion relevant? This seems like a poor attempt to make the church look good as if the followers and the leaders are the same type of people. One key difference is that the followers pay and the leaders get paid. If this an attempt to gain tolerance for the followers, that's fine. If this is an attempt to gain tolerance for the leaders, they're doing it wrong and being manipulative.
"Alot of happiness is determined by choosing fear or choosing faith." Great message.
I went to junior high and high school with Athelia. She was always an amazing person. I always looked up to her.
"I believe in failure -- I *really* believe in failure." There is a smart person who gets life! Well done!

I just love all these messages, so very uplifting. thankyou !!
Thanks for posting this video, it was a joy to watch.
On a side note, Athelia's hair is simply gorgeous :)
she has so much hope and faith! You Go Girl!!
I love that she promotes modesty, because for me women who are modest are just showing self respect!

Awesome! I love that website! I thought it was a little weird that all the dresses were modest. Now I know why. I am so glad to be LDS!

She is just great and she is mormon!! an example to every woman :D
This is so inspiring! One of my new faves.
What a darling girl! I love her confidence to go out and get what she wants.
What an example of making the best of what life throws you!
It is nice to see something uplifting on the internet when there is so much trash out there.
This video is so inspirational! My new fave.
Athelia, you are a great inspiration to me! Thank you for sharing.xx
Thanks for your example for all young women!
I love Shabby Apple! Awesome Job!
what's her website? Where can I get some of her outfits?
cool! thanks for the view/comment:)
U should see, in Utah, all of the wedding dresses have sleeves. It is wonderful to think that they don't wear the cute dress to do what is right.

this makes me want to dance.

Cool story. Thanks for sharing. Go Mormons!
Shabby Apple! I love Shabby Apple...I can't afford anything from there, but I do love it! Haha.

Modesty is not a Utah thing by the Way.
seria bueno que traduzcan al español así podríamos compartir con nuestros amigos hispanos y también podríamos comprende,

What is the difference between a dance leotard with spaghetti straps and a sundress? I don't get it.
My name is Radhames Navarro and I am a mormon and I am so happy because I know that Jesus is the christ.
Tell whoever said that he clearly doesn't see beautiful.
I loooove her!
I am a believer in GoD, and Jesus Christ. Yet people think I am weak in My Faith.
LDS church leaders do not get paid.
