I live in St George UT and the FLDS are about 2 hours away in Colorado
City/Hildale, two towns in the UT/AZ border.I used to work in the JoAnn Fabrics
here and saw many FLDS women in the store often.They use the poly fabric (a
heavy gabardine or suiting) because it stands away from the body and does not
follow the contours, preserving modesty. Some families do use softer, more
flowing fabrics, but most use the heavy poly.
The money apparently is being pooled and doled out on a need basis. The FLDS
community follows the United Effort Plan- all held in common by the church and
given back out based on need. I am not sure how it is administered, but nobody
owns anything.
