Best Answer

Amish have limited set of clothes, so new clothes are good clothes, as good clothes get worn they become their work clothes.

-

So Amish do not have pair clothes, in general just for church services, weddings, and funerals.

-

What they use is their newest clothes, sparingly at first, for special occasions.

-

But even these good clothes, get worn and have to be replaced, with newly made or purchased clothing.

-

Clothes that are white, are primarily used for special occasions, as they dirty to fast for work.

-

Very few clothes are owned just for special occasions, as this is prideful, but it does happen.

Amish women typically wear solid-color dresses with long sleeves and a full skirt, covered with a cape and an apron. They never cut their hair, and wear it in a braid or bun on the back of the head concealed with a small white cap or black bonnet. Clothing is fastened with straight pins or snaps, stockings are black cotton and shoes are also black. Amish women are not permitted to wear patterned clothing or jewelry. The Ordnung of the specific Amish order may dictate matters of dress as explicit as the length of a skirt or the width of a seam.

Plainclothed. Usually only things handmade by themselves. Nothing manufactured or mass produced. Comfort is disregarded for pure belief.

The plain sects, as a rule, dress plainly.

Most women sew their dresses from solid color broadcloth, typically of blue, or violet. Some wear leather work shoes, others wear canvas flats that make Chuck Taylors seem gaudy by comparison. This is a matter of Ordnung; different communities have different rules.

No buttons, no zippers, no Velcro, no snaps. Not even safety pins; it's straight pins.

No decorative trims, and no jewelry. Not even wedding rings. No cosmetics.
