Yes, Ellen White did have visions and received instruction regarding the "reform dress" for Adventist women. She wrote extensively about this topic, describing a style of dress that was modest, healthful, and distinct from the prevailing fashions of the world. Here are some key points from her writings: - Ellen White recommended a specific style of "reform short dress" that was modest, comfortable, convenient, and healthful. She contrasted this with the "American costume," which she opposed based on what had been shown to her in vision as being in harmony with the word of God (1T 465.1). - She stated that "God designed the reform dress as a barrier to prevent the hearts of our sisters from becoming alienated from Him by following the fashions of the world" (4T 639.2). - Ellen White explained that the reform dress was introduced to protect God's people from the corrupting influence of the world and to promote physical and moral health. She emphasized that it was not intended to be a burden, but a blessing (4T 634.3). - She also noted that the reform dress was not to be made a test of fellowship or forced upon anyone, and she advised women with opposing husbands to wait rather than create unnecessary conflict (1T 522.1, 4T 636.1). - The reform dress was described as a plain, unadorned dress of modest length, free from needless trimmings, and practical for health and cleanliness (4T 640.1). In summary, Ellen White did receive visions and counsel regarding a "reform dress" for Adventist women, and she shared this guidance with the church, emphasizing its spiritual and practical benefits. However, she also cautioned against making it a compulsory test and urged sensitivity in its adoption. References: - White, E. G. (1872). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 1, p. 465. - White, E. G.

The quote you provided—"I've done my duty, I've borne my testimony, and those that have heard me and read that which I have written must bear the responsibility of receiving or rejecting the light given"—closely matches several statements Ellen White made about her responsibility to share the light God gave her, and the responsibility of others to accept or reject it. However, I did not find this exact phrase in the context of the reform dress specifically. Ellen White often used similar language when discussing her general duty to bear testimony on various issues, including health, spiritual matters, and church discipline. For example, in Testimonies for the Church, Volume 5, she writes: - "God has given me my work, and I must meet it at the judgment. Those who have chosen their own way, who have risen up against the plain testimonies given them, and have sought to shake the faith of others in them, must settle the matter with God. I take back nothing. I soften nothing to suit their ideas or to excuse their defects of character." (5T 19.2) - "If my brethren neglect their duty, the responsibility will be theirs, not mine." (HS 200.2) While Ellen White did use this type of language in connection with her testimonies—including those about dress reform—there is no direct evidence in the available annotated sources that she used this exact quote specifically in the context of the reform dress. The sentiment, however, is consistent with her approach to the subject: she bore her testimony as instructed, and left the responsibility of acceptance or rejection to her readers and hearers. If you need a direct statement from Ellen White about the reform dress using this language, it does not appear in the available sources. But the general principle is present in her writings on the topic. References: - White, E. G. (1882). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 5, p. 19. - White, E. G. (1890).
