Jill sounds like a total rube:

Y'all have made my dreams come true.  I'll be passing along your information to my friends and continuing to praise the Lord!! I am so excited! Thank y'all so much! You don't even know what a blessing you are.  May the Lord continue bless you as you keep serving Him and helping brides prepare for their wedding day! - Jill :)  Psalm 91""

Why does that wedding dress with Jill in it look so darn frumpy?  

I kind of think it's mostly because of the hair .... Jill's face is a plain-jane frumper face, too, but lots of non-frumpy people have plain faces. The hairdo, however....

Folks, it seems a reminder about not posting addresses, flight plans and other personal information: 

Quote

This isn't really a big trend here BUT since it has come up recently in one thread, I would like to be clear that we don't want posts spilling home addresses, maps and truly personal details on that level of anyone (either on TV or not).

It's kinda creepy.

We think people on TV are "fair game" for comments but let's respect everyone's personal privacy. Please and thank you.

Also, let's keep this to Jinger and Jeremy as much as possible.

Been a while since I've been to a wedding so can't recall, but several people in the comments say it's a common East Coast thing.  The male guest who catches the garter the groom throws, is required to stick it on the leg of the female guest who caught the bride's bouquet.

I've been to several weddings where this was done and it's been awkward at every single one of them.

Oh, now that you mention it I realize that I've actually seen this done. I think I blotted it out because as I dimly recall it was pretty embarrassing to the woman involved since the not-shy man decided to perform the equivalent to the groom's garter take-off routine and pushed the garter way up under her dress.

Isn't this sound guy Bill Steffanucci in the lower left hand pic? This came from an Instagram dump from someone who apparently works at Ava Laurenne Bridal. And edited to recognize that we have proof the Duggars were there last week.

Now I've remembered it myself, lol, though I feel like it's fallen out of fashion recently.  I think it's awkward all around because of the lingering custom/idea that the bride and groom are supposed to be pegging their respective missiles at the next wo/man to get married anyway.  So when you mix the two together, you're supposed to be matchmaking, which has the potential to go oh so wrong with the pairing (like in the above, heh).

Mullet looks like the older Schmucker woman from Return to Amish in the pic above. Thought it was a 'before' makeover shot....like maybe the stylist from What Not to Wear caught her on the street.

Yay! Another fake dress shopping episode!! Glad I won't be watching.

Is there any evidence that any Duggar ever has consumed anything that wasn't encased in styrofoam?

Shirtless Jeremy was rather entertaining. Thanks.

We do this in Chicago too! Come on Jer have a good ole fashioned Italian wedding. Show the fundies what they are really missing by putting on a traditional sit down dinner, sweet table and dancing!!! Let Boob and Mullet leave and let the party begin.

For all the reasons posters above have mentioned. I hope AvaLaureene does a better job for Jinger. If a store is going to give away a product in exchange for advertising, the product should look good.

The store does carry Allure modest, so there's hope. Heck, I'd wear some of those styles over strapless. Then again, although I have awesome shoulders, I'm flat as a board. I'd need all the help I could get to fill out one of those dresses. LOL

I'll hope until proven otherwise because the Allure modest gowns at least have a chance of looking decent.  I hate the mismatched insets and there is no way to make the strapless dresses into properly fitting sleeved tops.  You just can't take that boned and molded top and add an extension that isn't obvious.  I don't care how much applique, lace, and beading you cover it with.  The line is going to be there.

That's the dress she chose. I remember the floral bead offset waist detail. A different insert was added by Ava Laurenne's seamstresses, with beading to match the bodice, IIRC, but it still looked like crap. As Absolom noted, the delineation line still showed. It was just a step up from the monstrosities that were Erin and Michael Bateses' wedding dresses with t-shirt tops, and of course the most hideous of them all: Mechelle's Vowel Removal (TM Jessa) dress. What a fucking nightmare that thing was!

Erin's by that only modestly competent David's Bridal seamstress was a travesty both in fit and modification. Alyssa's dress at least used the made for the purpose straps and the cap sleeves they added made of the same material weren't that bad.  I really hope Jinger has paid enough attention to how those things looked to know that it's enough difficult enough to alter the dress to fit her and not try to change it into a different dress.  I'm sure Jana can explain it to her if she asks.  I also hope they order regular modest bridesmaid dresses and don't try to add panels and tiers.  Just buy or make a regular long or tea length dress and be done.

I only hope that Jinger didn't get advice on modest bridesmaids' dresses from Michael Bates. I can't recall the site right now, but I remember looking it up after that episode of BuB aired, and it was just plain awful. The dresses that Erin and Kelly wore were especially heinous. I don't think there's time to sew how many ever gowns Jinger's attendants would need (as they did for Anna's wedding). I have no answers about where they can find cute, modest dresses in whatever color scheme Jinger has concocted. If Alyssa Bates can find hideous hot pink and electric blue dresses, Jinger should be able to find something, somewhere. Right???

No beige lace monstrosities, please.  The pink was almost tolerable.

There are multiple lines of modest bridesmaid dresses and most of the major regular companies have mix and match bottoms and tops and there are at least two or three sleeved and high enough cut tops available.  They could match those easily with a long enough skirt.  It would cost more than $30 though.  That may be the kicker.

You're right. Price will be the real deal-breaker. We saw how it affected Jill and Jessa's bridesmaids. At least Jill's dresses pretty much fit after Janarella's alterations, although there were visible errors in the skirts. Jessa's polyester, ruffled, clingy dresses were nothing short of a nightmare. If you make someone as thin as Jinger look bulky, it's not a good look!

Are those bridesmaids or teachers lol? I mean each outfit is cute for a coffee shop date lol but not really fancy enough for a wedding. Doesn't match the brides look with the fancy lace wedding gown.

Since it sometimes seems the Duggers (or someone who advises them) read sites like these, I'd like to point them in the direction of Eshakti.com. For a minor customization fee, you can have dresses made to your measurements and change length, sleeves, neckline, etc, to suit your taste (or modesty standards). They aren't that expensive and have many dresses that would be appropriate for bridesmaids. And poor Jana wouldn't be stuck making them.

I think the dress in Jill's picture looks awful because it's not cinched tightly enough and she's wearing that stupid modesty tee. It would probably look great on a different (read: non-Fundie) girl.

Dumb question, but do all the Duggar girls have to wear modesty tees?  Is this standard under everything they wear?  Do the boys have a modesty counterpart, or are they free from having to wear another layer under their clothing in the stifling southern heat?

But, but, Jana works for free. Why pay even small alteration costs when Jana is available? For free.

As for the mustard-sweater wedding attendants, the bride planned this. She picked the mustard and purple color scheme and told everyone to deal with it. Extra points for the heavy brown boots. And now she's put her wedding photos on social media for all to see. It is truly Duggaresque.

The guys wear white tees. What I want to know is why the girls buy such low-cut shirts to begin with? Why not buy something with a higher neckline so the tank isn't necessary? The girls have already lowered the necklines so that collarbones can be seen. NIKE! There are plenty of crewnecks or modest scoopneck shirts out there.

Why are they so miserable? I'd be happy as hell I didn't have to dish out $200 for a dress I'd never wear again. Mustard isn't my thing, but the outfits on the right are cute.

It'll be interesting to see what Jinger picks out for dresses and color scheme. If she's keeping the bridal party small, there's no reason why Boob can't pry open his wallet and spring for halfway decent bridesmaids gowns.

They've done it at virtually every wedding I've been to. East coast, Catholic girl, mostly the traditional sit-down dinner wedding with the dollar dance afterwards. A few times that's been fun, with a cute, single girl catching the bouquet and a cute, single guy catching the garter. One wedding I went to though my older cousin caught the garter and had to slip it on his little sister's leg - and it has to go above the knee...more than a teeny bit awkward.

The thing with the garter and bouquet toss - no one is forced to try and catch them. So whoever does is a willing participant. 

That's true, but I've also been to weddings where you're practically forced out onto the floor so the tradition can take place.

Oh you can be forced. The last two weddings I attended, 44-year-old divorced female me was heckled and hectored by the DJ and/or various wedding guests into getting up there - as there was a genuine lack of the single ladies at the wedding. And you have to go up there or you are potentially ruining the bride's very special day. Apparently. Or something. There were like, four of us each time. One of those times, the bouquet literally hit me in the chest (I did not have my hands up - they were in fact, behind my back) and fell on the floor. We all looked at each other, nobody made a move to go for it, and I took one for the team and leaned down and picked it up. Fortunately, the DJ did NOT do that stupid ass garter-dude-puts-garter-on-bouquet-gal shit. We just had to dance together for part of a song and then everyone else got up and joined us.

If there's ANYTHING even remotely appealing about the Duggars and their fundie weddings, it's the idea of not having to deal with that bullshit every wedding you attend.

Maybe the problem isn't the dresses. Maybe they know the next stop is a reception of soda crackers and root beer floats in a parking lot. 

That picture really belongs on one of those awkward family photo greeting cards.

Reading the article above, I hate the way they always have to describe potential husbands (or first borns sons, or anyone with a penis) as "true leaders". First of all, there are very few "true leaders" in this world and the Duggars haven't managed to produce or catch a single one so far. And second wtf marriage is a partnership why the hell would you need a leader in the first place? Fuck patriarchy, I'm getting stabby just thinking about it.
