This turned a subject of curiosity years later, however on the time 19 Children and Counting was nonetheless filming (the TLC present was finally canceled in 2015), not everybody had the identical memo. In actual fact, Jinger Duggar lately recounted how photoshoots for the TLC sequence had been all the time “difficult,” significantly given even a number of the individuals adjoining to the present did not know precisely what the women might and could not put on.
They might have your image there, often subsequent to the wardrobe factor. They might have your measurement, your type, common type, written out and that method they may hold everyone sorted. And yeah it was like, some issues they might pick, a few them did not notice that we did not put on pants. And they also would attempt to do denims with like an extended shirt.
Talking within the January 22 episode of their podcast, Jeremy and Jinger Vuolo spoke about how bizarre it was to be on a actuality present, significantly when it got here to going to photoshoots, which had been “enjoyable” however chaotic. Generally there could be a “shock” and Jinger would be capable to take house an outfit (Jeremy additionally as soon as nabbed an amazing pair of Cole Haan boots), however different instances the garments had been “too huge” and wanted to be pinned on.
The entire thing sounds prefer it was an enormous problem.
Getting everybody, you realize, in one thing they needed to put on was all the time somewhat difficult. I used to be all the time somewhat nervous about that as a result of I didn’t know what wardrobe they had been going to decide on.

Of the entire Duggar defining traits which were mentioned over time, the pants factor has been a public supply of fascination. However Jinger Duggar beforehand mentioned she’d given her dad and mom a heads up when she determined to put on trousers largely as a result of she was fearful there is perhaps a “paparazzi photograph” whereas she was out.
In a separate interview, Jinger additionally spoke about why her perspective about her wardrobe modified, noting it took a re-reading of The Bible to be able to notice that some stuff is subjective.
I need not solely be carrying skirts to be pleasing to God… ‘do not put on that which pertaineth to a person’ it is like, ‘Properly, I might take a look at that and say do not put on pants ever.’ However that was an enormous verse that was used to say it is best to solely put on skirts. …So, once I began looking these items out for myself [I realized], ‘Oh wow, it is not all so simple as it appears.
In the identical YouTube episode, her husband Jeremy additionally spoke out about different IBLP rules he simply was not conscious of earlier than diving right into a courtship with Jinger. He, for instance, did not notice there have been guidelines in place like he wasn’t even imagined to go to the “fitness center.” It was eye-opening for him to appreciate that so many individuals who’d grown up within the system she did needed to “discover a new id” as soon as they moved away from the constructions of the church.

Jessa Duggar was an early adopter of the development, and Jinger was the primary Duggar to publicly throw shorts on in an Instagram submit. It’s clear as they’ve began their very own households and moved away from the realm of actuality TV the main girls are determining their very own style do’s and don’ts.
Today, although we have even seen a photograph of matriarch Michelle in pants. Suffice to say, I feel the “no pants” rule has formally been relaxed.
Lately, Jinger has been open about her upbringing.
