The Scarlet Letter .. Chapter Five - Hester at her Needle .. Post #25

"But it is not recorded that [...] blushes of a bride." (Page 75)

Why is Hester allowed to create every kind of garments except of wedding clothes? Obviously she does a really good job in creating garments.
Are the people of the society afraid that the people who got the clothes would do the same thing as Hester did? Do they thing she bewitches the garments or something? Or is it just that she acts as a symbol that does not fit with wedding clothes?
