Ellie Shocks Fans In Tiny Skirt
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Ellie’s latest IG Stories. It’s her photo with her niece, Layla, who recently turned 6. But what caught the attention of many was Ellie’s tiny skirt. It’s no secret that wearing short skirts or even jeans is strictly prohibited in the Bates family due to their beliefs.

But it seems Ellie’s outfit indicates that they’re done with the tradition. Many family members have also begun to wear lavish outfits, especially Carlin and Josie. While many were shocked by Ellie’s bravery, some were glad that the kids were starting to decide for themselves.
- “Ellie with the short skirt. They’re so much more laid back than they used to be. Seems like Ellie is moving away from her parents rules while still living with them.”
- “I’ve never understood their “modesty” rules. Form-fitting skirts that show off half your legs are ok but full coverage baggy jeans are “immodest”? No judgement from me. Women should wear whatever they’re comfortable in. Just don’t understand how the former is considered more modest when it arguably shows more of the body.”
- “I think a lot of parents are this way as they age. Their older kids have more rules and as the parents get older, they stop caring as much. I think this is universal for parents that have 3+ kids. Especially if theyre more spaced out.”
- “I think gil and Kelly gave up/became more relaxed when the show was cancelled, it was sort of their accountability check. They have zero need now.”
