Josiah Duggar's reclusive wife Lauren breaks family's dress code by wearing low-cut bathing suit on
JOSIAH Duggar's reclusive wife Lauren has broken the family's conservative dress code by wearing a low-cut bathing suit.
Lauren, 24, and Josiah, 27, who keep a low profile, were spotted in the background of 25-year-old Joy-Anna's YouTube Vlog on the Duggar family beach getaway.
Joy-Anna took to YouTube to share all about the family getaway, but sharp-eyed fans were quick to spot Lauren in the background of a clip.
The Duggar patriarch, Jim Bob, 58, insists all of the females in the family keep up a modest uniform.
Duggar women are expected to wear long skirts and modest blouses, but several of the daughters have been breaking the rules - including Lauren.
She was spotted wearing a low cut, skin-tight bathing suit as she was enjoying the sun.

'RIDICULOUS!'
Fans noticed the rare update of the low-profile family member and took to an online forum to comment on her choice of beachwear.
One supportive fan posted: "I’m actually happy to see Lauren in a swimming-appropriate bathing suit.
"Not everyone has to swim, not everyone is comfortable with a lower neckline, but it seems she is and she can swim and sunbathe if she’d like."
A second shared: "I’m actually super surprised to see her in a relatively normal swimsuit, cause I remember back when she and Josiah were first engaged/married she was very concerned about modesty in the Counting On episodes she was in."

Yet a third chimed in saying: "I think as time goes on, more of them are rejecting Jim Bob and Michelle’s ridiculous dress codes."
Joy-Anna also joined Lauren in breaking the strict family dress code and chose to reveal some skin on the beach.
In her social media posts documenting the getaway, she included a clip where her bare legs were entirely exposed and soaking in the sun.
SNUBBED
Duggar fans noticed several faces of the large family on the trip: but sisters Jill Duggar, 32, and Jinger Duggar, 29, weren't among them.
Joy-Anna's 23-minute YouTube video featured her brother James Duggar, 22, speaking with her husband, Austin Forsythe, 29, enjoying a conversation.
Jason Duggar, 23, recently revealed he left his Arkansas home for some relaxation in the sunny Florida beach.
Jessa Duggar, 30, took to Instagram and posed with her husband, Ben Seewald, 28.
Among all of the photos posted online from the trip, Jill and Jinger were nowhere to be seen.
Furious followers took to an online thread to express their disappointment.
One critic said: "This is some toxic behavior. All the participants here are a**holes if Jinger and Jill were not invited."
A second critic claimed: "This is what cults do. Circle the wagons and reassure each other that they are right."

A third critic assumed: "I could see Jill being at a point on her therapeutic journey where she would actively choose to turn down an invite to a family trip for the sake of her mental well-being and to maintain firm boundaries."
A fourth person wrote: "I'll bet this was a big F-U from Bob to his 'Jezebel' daughters."
