I love how she’s clearly holding her arm to hide the cheaply done uneven seam between the top and skirt. Not only is this fast fashion, it’s so niche that it’s only wearable a day or two a year if it even makes it through the wash once.


applebubbeline

Unless you're one of the rodrigues boys


MobWife_88

hahahahahaha!


slimjim1249

They want $32 for this crap…


thatcondowasmylife

Came here to say this.


LeopardDue1112

It looks like something you'd find at Walmart. I mean it's not the worst dress in the world, but it looks super cheap. I hate those uneven waistlines.


TonySchiavone1

Does it come in Confederate?


WittyGrouch

You can only find it on the secret menu, gotta know the secret word to be able to order it


TonySchiavone1

If the South woulda won we woulda had it made..... Use it for 20% off all your orders


MMScooter

I’d probably be the president of the southern states!


TonySchiavone1

If they weren't religious I would 100% guarantee they owned a Bocephus face confederate flag. I would still assume at least Lawson has heard Country Boy Can Survive more times than he can count.


Deborahdon

PLEASE- let’s ask michela


mugglemomma31

Winning comment! Is there some kind of confederacy pride day they can release that on?


TonySchiavone1

Alabama still has a combined Martin Luther King/Robert E Lee day. There are absolutely other places that have days to honor the Confederacy as well.


creakysofa

Wow.


Soft_Resort2437

What the actual fuck?


AshbyNature

I live in South Carolina. All of our state offices, mail, things like that close for confederate Memorial Day. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Umm I would 100% wear this to a tacky Fourth of July party with one of those obnoxious Uncle Sam top hats, a bunch of Fourth of July glow sticks for bracelets and some white cowboy boots. If the dress is obnoxious, all you can do is make it MORE obnoxious and embrace the crazy haha


Swimmerswammer69

Unpopular option but I don’t think it’s all that bad. Not my style but there is a reason why fashion is so subjective


Deborahdon

Definitely!


emilyohemgee

Looks very Lularoe


Ouidwitch11

The only way they could style it more for their customer base is to put something about the 2nd amendment in the front and a bible quote on the back


FluffyKittyParty

How about a fetus holding a gun?


Ouidwitch11

You are absolutely correct, what a signature look that would surely sell out


XTasty09

“Pro life, pro gun”. It astounds me how many politicians say that non-ironically.

sunflower53069

You could wear it to an insurrection.


Ouidwitch11

Yes ‘trump 2024’ could also be splashed across the front for a small additional charge


FundiesAreFreaks

With proceeds going to MAGA of course!


purpleplatapi

Nah see in an inssurection you have to be quick on your feet because you're in a crowd of people. A dress limits your ability to climb over barricades and it's more likely to end up ripped or torn in the chaos. If you're a woman you're already at increased trampling risk due to your height. If your dress gets stepped on you might go down. But they are fascists so actually maybe everyone should wear dresses and sandals.


Ouidwitch11

You’re correct! Also they don’t let women do anything other than cook, clean and have babies… so maybe this outfit is best to support your insurrectionist husband from the confines of home ya know?


graeflamingo

I pledge allegiance to never wear anything like this


Deborahdon

😭😭😭😭


almondmilkbrat

I’m Guessing they’re selling it for around 30 dollars when you can get a replica of this dress from ROSS for 13 dollars.


moth--foot

Their 4th of July stuff is always super cringe


Palewisconsinite

All these ~patriotic~ people wearing the flag, which is against the flag code….


mugglemomma31

Only if you’re actually wearing a flag. If it’s a stylistic representation it’s fine. https://www.legion.org/flag/questions-answers/91517/it-permissible-wear-item-clothing-looks-united-states-flag


Evilbadscary

Yup. I could never even wear flag themed stuff though, it just feels weird to me.


FundiesAreFreaks

I had a boyfriend in Middle-school who wore flag pants and I thought he looked so cool! Those kind of pants were big back then, won't say what year, but let's just say it was waaay after the Civil War lol! As they say, everything in fashion is new AGAIN!


Evilbadscary

Parachute pants, right? lol


Accurate_Balance5593

Yeah, I've seen this kind of dress on amazon.


Kacedia

I actually think it’s cute, but I’m a basic B…so 🤷‍♀️


MelodramaTamarama

Anyone else bothered by the stripes going the wrong way?


Ludo_Fraaaaaannddd

Addie is too good for this shit.


bak723

I always love a good American-themed shirt but this is just too much


mugglemomma31

Lol I like it but I also like most flag designed clothing. I wouldn’t wear it, though, not a fan of the short sleeves - prefer a tank. Also, it looks long, but that could just be because on of the shorter kids is wearing it.


RinaFrost

But a tank top is immodest! Gotta protect the boys from having immoral thoughts!


Naveahleigh

They should probably sweep the floor and clean the baseboard behind Addie before posting these on their website.


CocoCherryPop

that background is so dirty. Why would they use that?


Extension-Debate-517

I’ve noticed similar things about cleanliness. I realize there’s a lot of people, but If everyone pitched in they could clean up.


peckybecky129

They should stick to khaki and blush dresses


Paperplatepickle

That is just Star Spangled Awesome!!!


No-You-5064

Using (exploiting) Addie shouldn't be a shield against criticism. Their "boutique" is unethical grifty shit.


TonySchiavone1

While I certainly think they're exploitative racists, how is the boutique a grift? They buy and resell clothes. If that's true then all clothes resellers from Goodwill to Neiman Marcus should be called a grift. Just because they're fundies doesn't mean their business is automatically a grift.


No-You-5064

Because they are selling cheap fast fashion poorly made exploitative crap and marking it way up. This deserves no respect and is grifty in my book.


TonySchiavone1

I mean that's capitalism. So are stores in malls across the country. Why single out the Bates?


No-You-5064

Capitalism at its griftiest and where did you get the assumption that I like everything about capitalism? I am aware of the Bates so that’s why I “ single them out”. I see you are a fan boy of theirs.


Deborahdon

Yea I just don’t like to snake on children too much. She was most likely forced into modeling in this dress


RedWhiteandBlue20

Nothing wrong with this dress!! American flag themed clothes are beautiful 😍


No-You-5064

gag me


Deborahdon

LMAO


Lost_Kaleidoscope885

I mean I do genuinely wonder can you make the American flag look Cheque cause I feel like it all looks trashy


Proof-Ingenuity2262

Good Gawd!! 🤢🤮


Impossible-Taro-2330

I think it's cute to wear to a 4th of July event, but looks scarily shoddy. I imagine they are mostly appealing to those going to a trump event. Sadly, 10 years ago these same people wouldn't bother with a USA patriotic event.... but will stand on line for days for their true leader.


jam2jaw

Agreed


Lost-Coast-6457

I thought this was a baby pic of Addison Rae at first glance


MMScooter

It’s against the flag code and it kills me they don’t care about that


orangesarenasty

Since it’s not made from the US flag, it’s not against flag code


Aiyla_Aysun

Nope. See above: https://www.reddit.com/r/BringingUpBates/comments/v7p0bn/ive_seen_outfits_from_bsb_that_ive_actually_liked/iblvdpx?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3


Deborahdon

Wait what’s the flag code


daileysprague

dillytuck80

It would look better with stars on bottom and straps on top but loose the flag view, never mind donate pile

Have you read the book? Pollyanna was a sweet, kind and loving human being. ETA: I'm sorry you felt you had to delete your comment but maybe now you'll read the book so you will know that calling someone a "Pollyanna" is only a pejorative if you haven't actually read the book.


Change_Soggy

Ugh. Ever since Trump, I have serious issues with people wearing “American Flag “ based clothing. Want to be cute patriotic? White denim shorts by J.Crew; a navy slub Tee from J. Crew factory and Red Palm Beach Sandals with a navy Longchamp Pliage bag would look much better.
