Sew Sumi May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 In heels, Kate is as tall as William, who is 6'2". She wears designer clothes off the runway, only altered for modesty in some cases. Girlfriend is TALL. All you have to do is look at her next to her husband to know that she is taller than 5'7". And by TLC's own admission in an early special (Raising 16 Children?), Jill was already 5'6 1/2" at 14/15. (Smuggar had already reached his full height of 6'). Jessa was still growing, listed then at only 5'2", Jinger was 4'11". It was the "lineup" that listed heights and what they wanted to be when they grew up. That's how we were informed that Smuggar wanted to be a lawyer. However, Other than what I've noted, I can't remember any of the rest, other than Jinger wanting to be a chef. LOL Link to comment
whydoiwatch May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 OMG, that picture from Jill's wedding...I had totally forgotten (or blocked from my memory) those hideous bridesmaid's dresses. Even worse, the shoes. Jessa and those scruffy sandals, does she ever take them off? Jessa and Joy look like they have dirty feet and we know barefoot bride Jill had filthy feet that day. It is like they have no concept of dress shoes, just grab a pair and go regardless of the occasion. 10 Link to comment
Sew Sumi May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 The sad thing is, they actually filmed them buying their shoes at a chain that was easily recognized by many people on the boards (it was named in the show, so shoes were comped). Whatever the store was, they don't have them on the west coast, but IIRC, it was a minor step up from Payless? Am I remembering correctly? 1 Link to comment

BitterApple May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 Those bridesmaids' dresses were a crime against fashion. My sewing experience is limited to middle school home ec class and I think I could've done a better job with the alterations. They should've bought material that matched the turquoise. The awful white just makes them look like their slips were hanging out. I can only imagine what Joy will come up with. 5 Link to comment
Sew Sumi May 7, 2017 Share May 7, 2017 I remember that they claimed that they only bought one extra dress for material to do the alterations. 1. Thats a lie. The material to make the second skirt layer is at least two, if not three extra dresses of width. 2. Add to that material to do six sets of sleeves. That white layer looks like Jana just grabbed some wrinkled linen out of her scrap heap. Thankfully, those dresses haven't made an appearance anywhere since (nor have Jessa's, thankfully). I'd be scared of Joy recycling, but Jill doesn't have one, and Hannie would have outgrown hers. I can't imagine how Joy's can be worse than these, but I'm sure she'll do her damned best to make it a close race to the bottom. 5 Link to comment

BTW, note the multiple maternity tee shirts, similar in style to the ones the Duggars wear, costing around 15 bucks, which DON'T cling so tightly that we can see whether the model has an innie or an outie. There is just no reason that they cannot find maternity tops in the tee shirt styles they favor that fit them properly.

Jill was the first to get married and still drunk in the 'save the difference' Koolaid. I doubt if she even looked at non clearance dresses. She was purposefully going for the 'find the cheapest and modify, because we do everything a little differently.....' theme. It's rather sad that it was so ingrained into her that she can never have anything nice or new. i can't compare Jill to Kate Middleton. Kate has a team of stylists, pretty much unlimited budget, and people clamoring over dressing her. Besides that, she puts the work into staying rail thin and groomed. It's her job. I wouldn't rank her as a reality celeb, but if we have to, she'd be above A list and knock the Duggars down to like the P list. Also - prettt sure Kate is 5'9 or 5'10 - very close to Diana height. I'm 5'9'' or maybe a hair under, Mr. Razz is 6'2 - same as William (I think). I don't wear shoes as tall as Kate, but she looks almost even with Will in her 3.5-4" heels, which is about right. I could be off a little, but she is taller than 5'7" and Jill. I don't think any of the Duggar girls look that tall, even if that's what she's told the TLC ten years ago. Back to Jill - she looks less sloppy and thrown together in that pick. Maybe that's he 'dressy church clothes'. These girls plan to spend most of their lives pregnant, so you'd think they have sense to buy some decent maternity clothes. They wear those skin tight tops and their husbands shirts that pertaineth to a man, because they want to. They're being flamboyantly modest and showing off again. 6 Link to comment

I think there is a bit of showing off the god-ordained pregnancy , of course, but not as much as just them being cheap and lazy. This is absolutely true. Clingwrap maternity wear is really in right now; the Duggar girls are actually on trend. I just saw a picture of Kailyn Lowry from Teen Mom at the MTV Awards, and you could see everything in her dress I went to the Instagram that she tagged in the picture, Sew Trendy Accessories, and by far their most popular dresses are made of Lycra/Spandex/Stretch fabric; they have more modest empire waisted dresses but they have fewer likes than the tight everywhere frocks. I saw one dress I quite like for myself but my sister, who has more classic tastes than I do (she also held up Kate as an example of chic modest maternity fashion) said I would look like a sausage waddling around with a Kim K butt lol. 4 Link to comment

I think there is a bit of showing off the god-ordained pregnancy , of course, but not as much as just them being cheap and lazy. I've had two babies in the last three years. Once I hit the middle of the second trimester in both pregnancies, I pretty much only wore flowing and empire waist shirts/blouses/dresses to work & when out & about. I wore my husband's big t-shirts, oversize pj pants, & oversize athletic shorts at home. I was huge and uncomfortable both times (I had nearly 10lb babies both times), I sweat more when I was pregnant, and I live in the south (and one of my babies was born in July; the other in the fall, so I went through the summer big and uncomfortable). I would have been uncomfortable as heck with visible sweat outlines due to the clingy fabric if I'd worn what these girls wear when pregnant. I know this is the style (more so for them because they're in their 20s and I was in my early 30s) but I just.could.not. Comfort took priority over everything (and yes, my work maternity wear was comfy but still work-appropriate). I can't imagine Jill wearing that tight, stretchy material in Central America during the late spring/summer, especially if there's no central A/C. My feet didn't swell with my first baby, but with my second my feet were pretty swollen by May and into June & July. I can't knock Jill for the flip-flops because 1) swollen feet; 2) she's used to wearing them anyway for most of her life, so I assume her feet are pretty flat, and non-flip-flop shoes are therefore pretty uncomfortable, especially when pregnant, 3) if she's like me, I was hot all the time while pregnant and being in a hot environment doesn't help. 8 Link to comment

Lunera May 8, 2017 Share May 8, 2017 The Duggar girls are too cheap for Target and JC Penny. Walmart has a pretty good selection of maternity dresses and shirts too, but they prefer to wear their usual size small thrift store crap and dollar store flip flops instead of investing in a new wardrobe because they are cheap. The whole tight tops thing is all Jessa and Jill, Ana never wore them and the Bastes girls sported some pretty stylish maternity outfits. I definitely agree that they dress like that during pregnancy because it's the only time it's okay for them to wear tight clothes, with their giant breasts and belly pushing through the shirt, and feel sexy. Also showing off bare belly pics is really in and this is their way to show off their bumps without being topless. 5 Link to comment

Are they doing any ministering or missionarying in NWA? No? Then don't fucking ask others to pay for it. Literally asking for a paycheck to give birth. HINT: Use your TLC salary, or nothing at all. People might be more inclined to give you some shit if you didn't act like stupid, entitied, immature, resentful, lazy, traumatized, greed-headed liars. Also, anything is possible but I highly doubt a teenage girl had a stroke upon getting bad news, Dr. Jill. Another medical situation you did jack shit to helgp in. Bless me with dinner, and serenade me with a violin. I've had it with these people. Edited May 9, 2017 by JoanArc Serious spelling errors 32 Link to comment
SMama May 9, 2017 Share May 9, 2017 I wonder how Cathy feels about all this. I'm sure she believes in missions since she is a Jesus warrior. However, I'd be beyond mortified if my adult, educated, able bodied child begged for donations. Quit popping out babies for God's army if you can't fucking afoord them. Disgusting. I hope In Touch and others take this and run with it. 12 Link to comment

Bless me with dinner, and serenade me with a violin. I've had it with these people. That new post from the fake missionaries is disgusting. This is how it starts: "The aroma of sweaty kids and stinky feet still lingers in the hospitality house." This is what Jill thinks of the little children she is supposed to be ministering to. Privileged white American Jill lives with air conditioning (paid for by all of the people who responded to the DONATE button). Nobody in that community has air conditioning. Of course the kids are sweaty in that very hot and very humid country. And the kids are barefooted, so of course their feet stink (just like Jill's and Jessa's and Izzy's). But, instead of buying the locals air conditioners and shoes, the Dillards would like you to DONATE more money for their stay in Guatemala and for them to return to Arkansas for the birth of the next baby, because Jill is too good to give birth in the local hospital with the local women. Not to mention the fact that she'll probably try a homebirth anyway, so what difference should it make if the bed is in Central America or in Arkansas? Oh, and Jill and Derick would like you to DONATE for their support while they live in Arkansas, where they will not be missionaries to anyone. Why should you DONATE for this? Well, just because the Dillards would like to receive your money. "Please continue to pray with us for: Continued financial support as we still need to raise additional support for the rest of our time here on the field as well as the time we will be home surrounding the birth of our second little boy due in early July.
