The clothes of the women involved in the FLDS polygamist compound raid have become one of the iconic images of the news story. Just as black Nikes became an icon after the suicide of members of the Heaven's Gate cult in their attempt to chase the Hale-Bop comet, and Bruno Maglis suddenly became a household name in shoes after the OJ Simpson Trial. Now the FLDS wives are selling the distinct clothing after Child Protective Services told them how hard it was to keep the children in the modest clothes when they were so hard to find and buy. I did some research on the FLDS fashion on my other blog, Austin Style Watch, and was fascinated with what I learned and how the blogosphere was responding. Everyone from Tim Gunn to Elle Magazine were weighing in on the pastel, ankle-length dresses and what they meant in contemporary fashion.

What do you think of the FLDS look?
Do you think the FLDS Dress site will have enough popularity that they wills tart selling adult clothes?
