PrincessPurrsALot January 27 Share January 27 Let's talk about the fashion choices of the Bates clan. There are so many outfits to discuss. The fine fashions of their store, ever so often displayed to their best advantage, in heaping piles on tables and the floor. Kelly's wonderful world of frumpiness. The Bates brood breaking away from the restrictions of their youth. How far will they go? And of course the many oatmeal-colored outfits put on the youngest generation. Discuss their fashion choices here. Hair, makeup, every way they choose to present themselves to the world is open for discussion. 1 4 1 Link to comment

awaken January 27 Share January 27 I can’t get over how much Alyssa has changed. (In looks). 5 Link to comment
Heathen January 27 Share January 27 Can we include hair and makeup in this thread? Trace, Warden, and Jackson's hair needs to be discussed! (Not to mention the sisters' makeup.) 7 Link to comment
Salacious Kitty January 27 Share January 27 I think this can be a catch-all for all things style and fashion! 😃 5 Link to comment
Meow Mix January 28 Share January 28 On the subject of hair, Erin's hair was sure voluminous back in the day. It needed it's own zip code. Another hair comment - I'm surprised Gil never took a weed whacker to Jackson's hair. The guys growing beards was allowed to pass even though Gothard was against facial hair, but I would have thought Jackson's do would have been a bridge too far. I will say that even if the outfits were pretty bad, Kelly always made an attempt to coordinate everyone in family photos. The Duggar family photos always looked a bit sloppy once there was a large number of kids. I do find it interesting who has fallen into what camp regarding how they dress. Michael has never gotten off the prairie, Erin and Tori are just frumpy modest, while the middle girls are letting it all hang out. The picture from Jackson's wedding shows the contrast very well. 6 Link to comment
Salacious Kitty January 28 Share January 28 New reel up from Josie's maternity shoot. She's adorned in a skintight white dress that leaves nothing to the imagination. 6 Link to comment
BitterApple January 28 Share January 28 Josie was just laid up for a week with the flu and now she's taking pictures in the snow wearing a flimsy skintight dress. That material was so thin it was see through. I guess when you're an Influencer you prioritize vanity over common sense. 2 3 1 Link to comment
Heathen January 29 Share January 29 I'd bet money she had covid again rather than the flu. Either way, a snowy maternity shoot wearing that dress is a little weird. She might as well tattoo LOOK AT ME, I'M THIRSTY on her forehead. Anybody else notice that Kelton's face looks very red in a lot of his photos? I wonder if he has hypertension. 5 1 Link to comment
3 is enough January 29 Share January 29 (edited) I think Kelton has Rosacea. He always looks flushed. That’s quite the outfit Josie is wearing. It’s possible the photos were taken before she got sick. The flu this year is a particularly strong strain. Certainly it could have been Covid , but I doubt she is vaccinated against either. While the vaccine might not stop you from getting it, it can stop you from getting really sick. Given her high risk pregnancy I do wonder if her doctors recommended getting the vaccines.

It is recommended that ALL pregnant women get vaccinated against both the flu and COVID. Plenty of research shows that pregnant women are very susceptible to complications with the flu or COVID and are far more likely to end up hospitalized with pneumonia and even die than their non-pregnant counterparts. That white dress is ridiculous, she looks like a fool in it; particularly standing out in the snow in a transparent dress. It's neither flattering nor sexy. She looks like she's wrapped in a cheap cotton knit bedsheet. Edited January 29 by Notabug 12 1 1 Link to comment
zenme January 29 Share January 29 I don’t understand how these folks think skin tight clothing is modest. I don’t need to see the shape of someone’s belly button. I don’t need to know if one is wearing a thong, granny panties, or something in between. There is a time and place to wear such garb. 12 1 1 Link to comment

Notabug February 10 Share February 10 Are they really so dumb that it didn’t occur to them to iron the dam* dress before taking photos for marketing? Apparently not. awful dresses thus far. Unless you’re going as Holly Hobbie to trick or treat. 6 8 Link to comment
Heathen February 10 Share February 10 At least Kelly brushed her damn hair this time. She may have even washed and conditioned it. It looked like fried ass in one of the last photo shoots, where she had that dumb smirky expression. 5 Link to comment

floridamom February 10 Share February 10 Is it me? I have noticed that 75% of the BSB dress styles are cut from the same pattern. They use different material but those "tiered-sewn together" bottoms are the same style for most of their cheaply made stuff? I hope this post makes sense...I just woke up. 12 Link to comment

I would guess these outfits were considered their dressy clothes. Worn for preforming, church, etc. From what I can remember from their earliest show, the boys were usually dressed in polos and chinos and the girls in long jean skirts/jumpers and polos. 4 Link to comment

Me from ME February 10 Share February 10 Quote I have noticed that 75% of the BSB dress styles are cut from the same pattern. I've noticed that they feature empire waists. Perhaps to mask post-partum weight gain. Heaven knows absolutely nothing will be worn to hide the pregnancy. 9 Link to comment

65mickey February 10 Share February 10 That dress on Kelly ridiculous. She is 56 years old and no adult woman that I have ever known would wear this getup. And where in the heck did they find those shoes? Has anyone here seen young women wearing dresses like these? They look like costumes to me. I waiting to see Carlin strolling into church on Easter Sunday in one of these lovely dresses. On March 31st. the temperature in Tennessee will most likely be chilly if not cold. 10 Link to comment
Dimi1 February 12 Share February 12 I watched Carlin's ILYD video...they were dressed up in costume ...so were a few others...but Josie, Katie and Whit were not - I am sure there were others, but Carlin panned so fast around the room - they were the ones that stood out to me...and what is interesting...C and E posted the video of the costumes etc pretty much the next day...but the rest of the bates are crickets on SM...makes me wonder if some are moving away from the bates family and brand... 3 1 Link to comment
GeeGolly February 12 Share February 12 All the little kids were dressed up. I think a few of the adults were dressed up and removed part of their costumes and some didn't dress up at all. I think its typical for holidays to change focus as grandchildren come along. It becomes more about them than the adults. That is of course when you don't need SM content. 5 Link to comment

It definitely feels like ILYD is losing its' shine. I imagine it was much more fun when UP was paying for the travel, food and costumes. Family members would post a flood of videos and pictures all weekend. I'm assuming those with YouTube channels are saving the content for their biggest moneymaker, but it still feels like the enthusiasm just isn't there anymore. 6 1 Link to comment
