Jessi had to change her Mormon Wives reunion look at the very last minute for ‘sad’ reason
She then had to send production photos of 10 different dresses
Jessi Draper was told to change her reunion look for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives – with just 12 hours to go before filming began. As it turns out, her outfit was “too similar” to host Stassi Schroeder. Jessi said there’s “no shade” to Stassi, but was “really sad” about it.
We’ve all seen the reunion looks, and it’s safe to say people were not impressed with the outfits and styles. Jessi had actually originally gone for a red dress but ended up being told to wear a silver outfit: one of 10 dresses from her wardrobe she’d sent to production.

She’d even had her husband Jordan’s suit custom-made to match her dress, and decided to hire a stylist to help her create outfits that suit her since the reunion. For an entire month before it was filmed, she was trying to put together mood boards on what she could wear.
“I was harassing the girls and probably annoying them, being like, ‘We need a colour scheme because last reunion, some of us were in dual tones, some were in pastel, the styles were all over the place’ – not to diss on anyone’s look because we looked great,” she revealed.
She added how their dresses “did not flow together” but that this time, she was prepared to change that. Jessi was actually planning to wear a red corset dress that involved getting jewellery and shoes sent out to her just to match the specific look.

Jessi continued to say she was the first to have her look sent in and approved. “12 hours ahead of reunion, I got a call from production and they were like, ‘You need to change your dress,’ and Stassi was wearing the same neckline and similar dress,” Jessi said.
As Stassi was already in town for the reunion with one option, Jessi had to sent production photos of random clothes she had. They chose the white and glitter dress, which she “wouldn’t have chose” and left her “really, really sad about it”.
