Mormon leaders measured girls' dresses with tape measure for modesty

August 18, 2026 at 10:07 AM MT · via YouTube / Mormon Stories Podcast · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Annie describes how her Mormon leaders used a tape measure to check whether girls' prom dresses met modesty standards in a Mormon Stories Podcast clip posted 4 hours ago that has already drawn 1,250 views and 32 comments. The practice involved physically measuring dress lengths against church guidelines.

The clip is from episode 2180 of Mormon Stories. Annie's account (@anniemdk) represents a common genre of ex-Mormon testimony: specific practices that enforced gender-specific modesty standards through physical measurement and public scrutiny.
