Best Answer

No. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) can wear whatever they want. They are encouraged to dress modestly, as they believe it is pleasing to God. The Church suggests that modesty includes wearing shirts that cover the shoulders, but this is only a suggestion.

Adult Mormons who have participated in a Temple ceremony are obligated to wear shirts with at least short sleeve shirts and pants/skirts at least to the knee as a reminder of the covenants they made with God in the ceremony.

The only time that Mormons are required to wear long sleeves is inside the temple (please note that a temple is different than a meetinghouse, where weekly worship services are held). Inside the temple, adult Mormons (men and women) are required to wear long sleeves and all white.

How many times is the promise keep my commandments and ye shall prosper in the land used in the Book of Mormon?

I counted 100 instances of the word "Promise" (and variations such as 'promised' and 'promises') in the Book of Mormon. Most of the time this was linked with "promised land" or "land of promise". The phrase "keep my commandments" is used 25 times in the Book of Mormon. The phrase "ye shall prosper in the land" is used 10 times in the Book of Mormon. Each one of these instances is in the same verse as a variation of the phrase 'keep my commandments' or 'keep the commandments'.
