Hi, friends!

We’re so glad you stopped by!

The Bates Sisters Boutique was born out of a vision that two sisters had to provide feminine and stylish apparel at a reasonable price. We search and search for great finds that we know will please our customers and not break the bank.

Lots of love,
Carlin & Whitney

Meet the Sisters


Carlin Bates Stewart

Carlin truly has a bigger than life personality! If you have ever met her, you know that she is bursting with joy and either laughing, dancing, or singing! She graduated from Liberty University in 2019 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies. Carlin married the love of her life, Evan Stewart, in 2019 and now have two beautiful children, Layla Rae and Zade Patrick. In 2020, Carlin and her husband Evan, started a family YouTube channel called The Stewart Fam providing a front row seat of their daily life! She loves spending time with her family, volunteering at her church, and traveling. Bates Sisters Boutique was originally envisioned by Carlin and she continues to be the visionary for us!


Whitney Bates

Whitney is someone that when you meet her, you feel like you’ve known her your whole life! She met Zach while working as a Carhop at Sonic in Rocky Top. The two quickly fell in love and they were married in 2014. They now have 5 children, Bradley, Kaci, Khloe, Jadon, and Lily! Whitney received a certificate of medical billing and coding from Tennessee College of Applied Technology. She loves spending as much time outdoors as possible and taking her children to their sports games and tumbling practices! She is a hard worker and is always ready to roll up her sleeves and help wherever is needed at the boutique. You can follow the daily life of Whitney on her instagram @zachnwhitbates.
