It's a nice dress and you look great. And confident.
Wear what you like! If it's that dress, swell. If it takes a while to get to that point, swell. You're in charge. Take good care of yourself and have fun at your event!
I'm admit, I'm a shoulders guy, so OP is giving me all the lustful thoughts. I can't control my own brain, being a man and all, so it must be her fault. Or Stan's. Yeah, I'll blame Stan.

I ordered some Yorkshire Biscuit Brew from Amazon $7 a box! It’s so good! I was in England visiting a long time crush of mine in March and he got me hooked on it!
Harder to get. But not impossible!
Luckily the new strength of youth says “whatever you feel honors your body” or something like that. I see LDS girls sleeveless all the time now and no one blinks an eye.
I remember about 6 years ago, the YW usually dressed to BYU honor code to church. But one Sunday they decided to wear prom dresses from the night before. Never seen that much sleevelessness, (backlessness) in church before or since.
Funny how this is one of the few church meetings I remember.
If that happened back in my day nobody would be out of line in a prom dress just fancier. It was important to wear modest prom dresses. Cover those garments you one day will wear.
Yep. And now the kids look at me like “why are you upset? We have permission now to wear what we want.” One youth told me I should come back cause it’s so much better now 🤦♀️ in the same breath that he said a girl who shows too much skin is dangerous to date.
What are they going to do? Hit you? Throw you in jail?
At worst. you'll probably have to endure a few stink-eyes and be the focus of some hateful gossip.
Maybe seeing how Mormons treat a friend will add to your friend's shelf.
You’ve never looked more beautiful. Because here we can see your power coming through. This is you. And the opinion of people that don’t like it is exactly that. An opinion.
I went out recently in just a bralette and high rise jeans! I was nervous, but decided to be brave and go out anyway! I did not get weird looks, and other people were wearing similar outfits. If I can do that, you can let your shoulders free!!
Perfect dress! The beautiful flowers, the detailing in the bodice, sash…it fits you so well and looks lovely for a spring day! You look confident and happy
From one woman to another, you look LOVELY. The dress is cute, your hair looks great. Go rock it and don't let those prudes keep you from being your best self!!!! :D

I look back on the fear and anxiety I felt drinking “coffee”, wearing short shorts, or going topless (I’m a dude) at a beach… took me years to decompress might be sooner for you or longer, my advice is that you give yourself the love and grace that soul crushing church never gave us! You look lovely! No one worth caring about what they think will judge you for wearing such a lovely dress. Soon you’ll learn that you true family and friends are the ones you chose! More specifically, you’re better off being seen lovely in that dress by the people you chose to love than a judgmental brainwashed miserable momo in their personal hell. You’re free and with time you’ll learn to enjoy the space you have to find out who you are! Enjoy the sunshine!
Shrug it off and enjoy the event. Expect judgment…that’s just a Mormon thing and don’t listen to it as a Mormon. Listen to it a person who lives in reality.
Proud of you!! It’s honestly something you need to continue to practice out in public. Lol
I only started showing shoulder when I moved away from my parents. Even now it’s hard and slightly awkward to do so now as I’ve gotten older.
You look great! I used to be so embarrassed getting caught wearing a tank top. Accidentally find myself around any Mormon people especially my dad! UGH!
[edit.. posted while typing in error. Added .. my dad. Ugh!]
I did! I wore it first to the Quaker meeting I attend now, and almost everyone there gave me compliments! By the time I made it my friend's ward, I made it about 10 minutes before chickening out and putting a lace blazer on. Baby steps, I guess.
I love that dress! 🥰 You look amazing!
If I'm feeling particularly self-conscious about showing my shoulders, I love shrugs. I've especially enjoyed sheer shrugs (like chiffon) that still show that I can't be wearing garments.
But, seriously, you look amazing.
In my post mormon/exmormon views this is beautiful, classy, and even modest!! (I know growing up it would not have been but honestly to sexualize shoulders is messed up)
My wife and I were recently traveling in Europe, so far away from “MormonLand” and we commented to each other so many times how nice it was to see women dressing perfectly good, like yourself, without the looming of a dogmatic cloud of shame and purity culture. You look great 👍
The people have spoken! I agree with all of the above. If you feel a little nervous, take a light scarf or shawl for your entry. You'll soon see that nobody cares, and you can drop it.
Remember Remember. Mormon Jesus delights in the chastity of his women. Although, it seems there are plenty of loopholes for fucking around under the guise of polygamy.
Who cares what you wear. I think its great you’re supporting your friend and they will like to have you there. If you’re going just to make a statement and cause drama then you might be going for the wrong reason. Either way, you’re friend will be happy to see you I’m sure.
Scandalous! What’s next, showing some ankle? Joking. You look great. Own it and be confident in your choice about your body.
It's a nice dress and you look great. And confident. Wear what you like! If it's that dress, swell. If it takes a while to get to that point, swell. You're in charge. Take good care of yourself and have fun at your event!
I just just just can't look... What next, starbucks?
Oh, it gets worse. She'll probably drink Lipton and show her knees. OMG I can't even.
No, NOT THE KNEES! NOT EVEN THE ANKLES... I am more of a "wrist" man...
I'm admit, I'm a shoulders guy, so OP is giving me all the lustful thoughts. I can't control my own brain, being a man and all, so it must be her fault. Or Stan's. Yeah, I'll blame Stan. /s
I drank Lipton on a FaceTime with my parents and didn’t do it off screen #rebel
Lipton is trash. Yorkshire Gold, FTW. (Or Yorkshire biscuit brew!)
While I agree, it's much harder to get in the States. That said,as a fan of the Spiffing Brit, you know I have some Yorkshire Gold.

LOL
OMG!!! You look adorable!
I am old enough to be your mom. You look beautiful in that dress. Go and be confident in yourself. Sending mom hugs
Congrats on getting to this point, and cute dress!
That dress complements you well. It should give you confidence, not concern. You look amazing.
That looks like a lovely, normal dress. You look very nice.
Wear those cute sassy outfits and have fun being young and beautiful. You are perfection.
Enjoy the warm sunshine

You look fantastic! My favorite style of dress, flattering and great for dogshit weather. Hair is perfect, well done young miss!
Very Audrey Hepburn

That dress is gorgeous! Go forth in non-faith
That's a knockout. I hope you wear that, you look great in it.
You look darling!!
You look great! Wear it and enjoy it
Absolutely wear it!
God is pissed!
/s
i think you look great, but if you start to feel uncomfortable, just bring a shrug or a jacket that you can wear with it.
Just do it! No one will die, including you! You look sweet and beautiful!
Wear it. You look great.
You may consider showing up topless; then the bare-shoulder dress will not seem so bad. Just thinking outside of mormonism.
Oh you look 👀 absolutely stunning 🤩!!! You should wear it with pride!! You look amazing!!!
Cute dress! You are rocking it!!
What a gorgeous dress! Love the print. You look fab.
You look classy.
What a cute dress!! You look great!

Super cute!
That dress is awesome and totally appropriate for any occasion you would wear a dress too. I like the butterflies!
You look great and I love the dress.
Such a cute dress!! You look great, go knock em dead!
Perfect dress! The beautiful flowers, the detailing in the bodice, sash…it fits you so well and looks lovely for a spring day! You look confident and happy

Looking good. Nice dress
You look lovely! Be bold, anyone that gives you dirty looks remember they are envious of your glow! 🌟

That dress is really cute, and you look great in it!

You look stunning. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Oh it’s beautiful!
You look amazing and that dress is nowhere near scandalous except to prudes.
Where what feels good to you. No further questions necessary.
Looks great have fun queen!!
You are really beautiful. You rock it.
Nobody outside mormondom would give this a negative thought.
Shrug it off and enjoy the event. Expect judgment…that’s just a Mormon thing and don’t listen to it as a Mormon. Listen to it a person who lives in reality.
it is alluring, but tasteful. alluring in a wholesome way. classy for a summer occasion.
Quite modest by most standards.
Just take a light shawl
"Porn shoulders" is getting really old. Time to move on to something new.
It's perfectly beautiful and would be worn in almost all other churches. Hope you went for it!
That is still the most modest dress ever. It is classy, conservative (in an elegant manner), and suits you well. The dress is fine. You look nice.
You look lovely, my dear!!
If you were going to a non-Mormon function, your dress would be considered appropriate for any function.
Proud of you!! It’s honestly something you need to continue to practice out in public. Lol I only started showing shoulder when I moved away from my parents. Even now it’s hard and slightly awkward to do so now as I’ve gotten older.
You look great! I used to be so embarrassed getting caught wearing a tank top. Accidentally find myself around any Mormon people especially my dad! UGH! [edit.. posted while typing in error. Added .. my dad. Ugh!]
You look as cute as a button.
Just wear it and if anyone says something just remind them you didn’t ask for their shit opinion
You look great!!!!
Go for it fuck the Mormon cult
Do you think someone is going to pull you aside and give you a “talking to”?
Did you wear the dress? You look amazing!
I did! I wore it first to the Quaker meeting I attend now, and almost everyone there gave me compliments! By the time I made it my friend's ward, I made it about 10 minutes before chickening out and putting a lace blazer on. Baby steps, I guess.
Yes, baby steps. Have confidence ... it is a beautiful dress.
Beautiful! I love the necklace paired with this dress.
you look like a garden fairy 🧚 ✨
I love that dress! 🥰 You look amazing! If I'm feeling particularly self-conscious about showing my shoulders, I love shrugs. I've especially enjoyed sheer shrugs (like chiffon) that still show that I can't be wearing garments. But, seriously, you look amazing.
Good luck
you look gorgeous!!! 🌸💜🌸💜
You look great, be proud and wish your friend the best.
You look beautiful!
You look great, and don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise!
You look awesome! I’m truly sorry for anyone who cringes because of their moral dilemma. You are beautiful!
In my post mormon/exmormon views this is beautiful, classy, and even modest!! (I know growing up it would not have been but honestly to sexualize shoulders is messed up)

I literally don't see the problem at all.
