Blainer) The MAIN purpose of the garment is to cover one's nakedness--to help insure modestly in the marriage relationship at all times. The rule of thumb is that it be worn at all times, except to bathe and change clothing. This is done in connection with covenants relating to chastity--defined as no sex outside of marriage, but also infers no lewdness in marriage. If one removes the garment permanently, he/she disavows the importance of these serious covenants, and basically rebels against God That's about it in a nutshell. Thanks for your questions.
PS Some "Mormon" polygamous cults require their women to wear leggings-style stockings, no makeup, no hair ornaments, and long dresses with high collars. This probably promotes the same ideas as above, but are frowned on by mainstream Mormons. Mainstream Mormons consider the garment a sufficiant remind of the need for modesty and chastity.
