JILL Duggar has strayed from parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s strict modesty standards, showing off her arms in a new video.
The Counting On alum recently opened up about her strict upbringing and the ways in which she’s distanced herself from her family in the Amazon Prime documentary Shiny Happy People.

Jill, 32, posted a video to her Instagram Story promoting a product but fans were distracted by a glaring break from her family’s modesty standards.
The star was wearing a sleeveless top that was low cut and featured a floral print all over it.
She protected her modesty with another tank top under the one she was wearing to avoid showing any cleavage.
The TLC alum has been outspoken about distancing herself from her parents Jim Bob, 57, and Michelle, 56.
She recently spoke out against them and their belief system – built around the Institute of Basic Life Principals – in a documentary.
Jill and her husband Derick Dillard followed that appearance up with the bombshell news that they’re releasing a book further exposing the Duggar family and their experiences.
They were snubbed by the entire family after sharing the news.
SHOTS FIRED
While the mom of three has been adamant that she still has love for her mother and father, she recently appeared to take a major dig at them.

On Friday, she shared a video about a consequence of her upbringing, sharing the reason she doesn’t know how to swim.
She shared photos of her two older sons Israel, eight, and Samuel, five,
The boys were celebrating receiving certificates after graduating to a higher level in their swim class.
Jill kept their faces covered but posted pics of the young boys holding their certificates up to the camera.
In her final photo, Jill also showed her 34-year-old husband as he got into the water with their youngest son, Frederick, 11 months.
In her caption, the TLC star wrote: “So proud of our little @goldfish_rogersnwa swimmers!
“Both our big boys have promoted to new levels and Freddy is now happily splashing his way through his swim lessons!”
She concluded: “We love seeing how their water confidence has improved so much this last year in lessons + it’s so relieving to know they have learned such valuable water safety skills!”
In the comments section, one of the TV personality’s social media followers asked: “Jill, can you swim? Do you have had swimming lessons as a child?”
She replied: “Yes, I had swim lessons as a kid one summer, but I wasn’t able to stay consistent after that, so I’m a pretty bad swimmer lol. I can float though, so I can survive!”
In response, one fan praised Jill’s decision to make sure her children learned the skill that her parents Jim Bob and Michelle seemingly failed to ensure she had: “The best thing parents can do is teach their children to swim. It’s a life sport.”
Another person agreed: “Swimming is such a good skill to instill in children at a young age.”
DARING DUGGAR
Not long after Shiny Happy People’s release, Jill donned her most daring outfit yet in photos from a day date with Derick.
The pair attended the Stilwell Strawberry Festival in Oklahoma, capturing the fun in photos.
Among the many snaps was one of the Counting On alum posing alongside the Strawberry Queen.
The pageant winner was wearing a red sequin gown that would never fly in the Duggar household but she wasn’t the only one shirking their strict modesty standards.
Jill was seen smiling while wearing a low-cut top, protecting her modesty with a white undershirt.
She had on a pair of denim shorts in the photo – something she never would have been allowed to wear in the past.
The mom of three shared some details from the outing in the caption, revealing: “I was just looking back through pics and I meant to post these before now…
“We had the best time this year at the #stilwellstrawberryfestival.”
She went on: “I got to help judge the pageant & Derick ran the 5k, we had our share of delicious Indian tacos and the strawberry cheesecake funnel cake was just as good as it sounds!!
“And of course we came home with lots of berries!”
Fans flocked to the comments to praise Jill and gush over how “happy” she looked.
One supporter wrote: “I am so happy for you that you are enjoying life now. All the best for you and your own family.”
Another commented: “You look so happy! The strawberries look amazing as well, and the funnel cake looks delicious. I hope you had a wonderful time.”
A third fan commented: “How fun!!! Looking gorgeous, by the way!”
