The practice of wearing temple garments by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is thought to have begun soon after the founding of the church by Joseph Smith in 1830. Originally, the temple garment came in one piece with sleeves extending to the wrists and pants stretching to the ankles, but in subsequent years, more options became available, including a two-piece set.
