	Temple garment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally, the temple garment was a one-piece garment resembling a mid-19th century "union suit".
		The garment had four symbolic marks that were cut into the cloth as part of the original Nauvoo Endowment ceremony: a reverse-L-shaped symbol on the right breast, a V-shaped symbol on the left breast, and horizontal marks at the navel and over the right knee.
		For example, a model wearing a temple garment was published in a popular adult magazine during the 1940s and in another adult periodical in the 1960s.

	Sacredness of Temple Garments by Cordell Vail
		Garments are one of the most sacred things that we have and it would do us all well to learn some basic principles of respect and reverence concerning them.
		We are not to remove our garments, only wear the bottoms, or pin them up just because we want to wear some kind of clothing that would not be possible if we had our garments on.
		The garments themselves have gone from being a long sleeve, long leg garment that tied in the front with strings to the very comfortable and convenient two piece garments that we can wear now.
