I have never understood why the collar of that dress exists.

Me neither. To me, it's the most abominable part of an abominable outfit....Among other things, it doesn't match the dress fabric at all, in either color version of the dress we've seen.

But I can imagine somebody who grew up in the Duggar household looking at it and subconsciously seeing it as a "chic" callback to a modesty-for-the-clavicle collar.

I recognize that I am in no way as rad as Mr. and Mrs. Homie, but why are Jinger's shoes tied like that - it looks like the way shoes are tied when they are fresh out of the box and being tried on for the first time.

They also look way too big for Jinger. We need to solve the mystery, something is going on.

It is ugly, but ironically it did fit the event. She was at a tea party... finger sandwiches, little pastries, potted tea. 

What is it with fundies and tea parties of late? Joy, Abbie, Katey, and Esther Bates recently attended one in which they gave each other potted plants. 

Abbie didn't look pregnant, btw.

Going to tea parties is a classy and feminine activity to them while fundie males would refuse to have anything to do with them.  Also, no alcohol.

Only as “classy”’as those who attend. And these hateful, judgmental women ain’t that, imo.

Yes, and in one of the pictures, the lighter seen on the floor in the picture of Jinger is being used:

Can you imagine the conversation between these holier than thou twats?

I'd guess those women do this kind of 19th-century cosplay because their religion, their whole religious culture, their parents and their husbands all infantilize them. The rules they live by give them no agency ..... So for lack of any recognition of them as complete adults they go in for cosplay and fantasy like seven-year-old girls from the 1950s. 

Some may get a bit of agency -- in a part-time job or the like, for example -- by stealth or because theit husbands turn out to be irresponsible babies so they quietly-- and probably secretly, at least as relates to their church pals -- take over a lot of the agency within the family..

But the culture they perform in tells them they're required to be meek and that they're suited for no positions of power, influence and agency at all. So when they're all together posing for cameras -- and potentially audio -- in a situation like this, I'd bet you hear absolutely nothing but approved-by-their-massively-sexist-culture talk. 

Officially, they're infantilized....and placed somewhere back in a fantasy past that their infantilizers express "nostalgia" for. They're supposed to find this throwback activity fun, so they do. They don't have a lot of choices, especially when it comes to things they do in groups that are viewable to their coreligionists. 

I hate to see all these young people joining up for this damaging nonsense. Would like to think that patriarchy-friendly entertainments would be dying out. But I guess not.

I hope they’re not all dim, empty headed followers like Jinger.

Well, I assume this is a church-related group. And in that case, they have to be.

Or at least act as if they are whenever they're somewhere they can be seen Their church is deeply misogynistic and endlessly "nostalgic" for a men-first, ladies-be-quiet-and-wear-gloves past that never actually existed.

Why is she cosplaying Downton Abbey so much lately? First it was the hat that it looks like she stole from Violet then the tea party. 

I wonder if they have discovered Downton Abbey recently. It seems like it might be an approved option. Victorian social rules, especially gender roles, are rigidly enforced on that show. There's very little sex, and the limited sex outside of marriage has consequences: Ethel becomes destitute and is forced into prostitution; Edith is forced to give up her daughter and the fallout wreaks havoc on two families; the single gay character is a villain who is mercilessly maligned until he eventually attempts suicide. Plus, all the women wear skirts, and everything is lovely on the surface -- it couldn't be more fundie-friendly.

Young women cosplaying period pieces is a trend lately.  On TV you have Bridgerton, Sandition, and the works of Julian Fellowes.  Cottage-core has been a thing on Instagram for a few years now and has gone mainstream.  Prairie dresses are everywhere.  A lot of young women took these last few years of isolation and just dove on into vintage lifestyles.  

Shondaland and Netflix are doing live events
