The dress is s prairie dress. Those were still somewhat popular in the early 80s. I wouldnt give it any religious significance at all. My mom had a similar dress in 1986. When i worked in a student theater ten years ago, i always bought those on ebay because they could be made into inexpensive, terrific Victorian or even Colonial costumes.

Yeah I'm not sure the dess looks long enough to be a FLDS style dress. It looks more below the knee/midi length rather than floor or ankle length. Also it could be a red herring since she was wearing Levi's (not cheap) which I don't believe women are allowed to wear trousers in those FLDS communities.

It could be that she wasn't allowed to buy fashionable clothes or something and had to make her clothes herself? It used to be much more common to make your own trendy clothes back in the day.

If she was leaving the FLDS/LDS it might make sense as to why she had no underwear on, because those groups wear long, Church-sold underwear. But I think even in FLDS before you get married/go on a mission you wear normal underwear because you receive those "garments" in a special ceremony.

I doubt she was flds. I am not familiar with them, but if its as tightly knit as other traditional societies (including m own), then the whole community wouldnt leave a stone unturned to look for her.
The dress is lovely, just a prairie style dress. I wouldnt read too much into it.

Bump to refresh this thread for unidentified female.

Someone must recognize her (possibly handmade) dress with lace on the collar and the cuffs of the sleeves.

I doubt she was flds. I am not familiar with them, but if its as tightly knit as other traditional societies (including m own), then the whole community wouldnt leave a stone unturned to look for her.

What if she had left the Flds? If she had left under certain circumstances, other members of the group might not be so inclined to look for her.
