They are ALL very productive, I think ya'll should go do something productive with your lives, rather than complain about someone else not being productive enough! Seriously, this would has a shortage of mothers that work from home, you should congratulate the bates girls for finding a creative way to work from home that also leaves their children with a lasting legacy. And, one can do many things too: I have pursued weaving, sewing, crocheting, flying, designing clothing, playing the violin, and running a catering business; all the while being a full time student in college, working a full time job at a local stables, and living, working full time on a farm, and currently pursuing a certificate in equine massage therapy. If I had not gotten as interested in horses as much as I did, I would be weaving fabric and designing/making/selling clothes. And that would not be an unproductive job: the garments would be made in America; no sweatshops. Shouldn't we have clothes companies like that anymore? <br />There is NOTHING wrong with someone pursuing clothes or cosmetology. I FULLY support the Bates family and I hope the heed no attention to the nasty comments that you guys will so freely say (But would never say to their face, but I would whole-heartedly say what I said to their face). Have a blessed day.

I like solid colors.i love the dress style but I would want the top or bottom to be a solid color . But I think each person should get what they like . After all fashion is just something someone chose to put out there and everyone thinks thats what they have to do. Doesnt mean it should be for everyone . I'll just stick with what I like and what is comfy. Comfy clothes are the best . Hugs to you all from wv. God bless keep. Trusting him.

They ARE being productive by bringing their children up (rather than working away from home and paying someone else to raise their children) and training them to be good, productive citizens as well as to love Jesus. just because your idea of being productive is to work outside of the home does not mean everyone else's idea of productivity is the same as yours. They're helping people not just by living their lives as they do, but by providing good and modest clothing at an affordable cost that a gal can feel beautiful in. Your judgments and statements about the Bates' girls are unreasonable and ridiculous.Jen4Him72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17478757966172148293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-57804462822402016162019-05-31T06:14:53.591-05:002019-05-31T06:14:53.591-05:00Love the simpleness of the clothes however I truly...Love the simpleness of the clothes however I truly wish as a plus size woman that the sleeves were longer and a little fuller to cover my lunch lady arms and like so many others I avoid stripes.

There's no reason for the Bates to take criticism personally. It's business, for Pete's sake! IMO, you have to have just the right body type to pull of horizonal stripes, fussy floral prints and floor-length dresses. I would never wear them because I'd feel overwhelmed and bigger than I am. I prefer understated sparingly used patterns, neutrals and muted colors, and more structured clothing. I also never wear dresses or skirts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-81622311480442570482019-04-24T14:35:33.435-05:002019-04-24T14:35:33.435-05:009:41- IMO, horizontal stripes do not flatter any...9:41- IMO, horizontal stripes do not flatter any plus size woman and it isn't insulting to say so.
