Ancient style, modern comfort—no sewing degree required.

Costumes help us fully immerse ourselves in the world and time of the Book of Mormon. Keep it simple, modest, and practical—so everyone can focus on the experience.
Costumes should fall just below the knee. Small side slits are fine for movement—please reinforce stitching since activities (including battle scenes) can be active. Costumes should be loose enough to layer modest shorts and a t-shirt underneath, and roomier still if you’ll wear pants on cool days.
Choose earth tones and natural colors (browns, tans, greens, blues). Woven-looking or subtle striped fabrics work well. Please avoid neon or extra-bright colors, large distracting prints, or bold florals. When in doubt, aim for plain and simple.
Simple sashes, tie belts, trims and contrasting fabric accents can add interest while keeping the look period-appropriate and modest.
A shepherd-style head covering is strongly recommended for sun protection. Modern hats (ball caps, cowboy hats, toques, etc.) are not permitted.
Bring a pair of shoes or runners. You can also bring sandals that won’t easily come off. No flip-flops.
