Like the dude off the oatmeal box
Actually I am a quaker, and quakers these days do not dress like the 'dude off the oatmeal box'. It would be awesome if we did though; however, we dress like normal people.
they wore top hats as the male but the female wore bonnets
In clothes like most humans, although for many years they dressed plainly and many did not wear modern fashions. Amish women wear bonnet's, and dresses. Amish men often wear hats.
something modest
Quakers have always set store by leading plain and sober lives - and this has traditionally included dress.
Rarely. Plain dress is uncommon among Quakers these days. It mostly went out over 100 years ago. Of the few Quakers who dress plainly, some may buy some of their patterns, clothing, bonnets, hats, and coverings from Amish merchants, but they might equally buy them from Mennonite, Brethren, or other Quaker merchants. Or they might just make it themselves.

WHAT ARE THE QUAKERS HOLiDAYS?
the quakers.
No, there is no dress code for Quakers. However, some Quakers, particularly conservative Friends, find a spiritual calling to "plain dressing". One of the Quaker testimonies is Simplicity. Each Quaker, lead by the inner light, responds to this testimony in different ways. Some Quakers feel it is their leading to dress plain, that is a dress similar to Amish or Mennonites. Others feel that plain dressing is just a call to dress modestly but can wear "modern" clothes. Others feel they can still respond to the testimony of simplicity and wear modern clothes, jewelry and make up. The important thing for each Quaker is to listen to the inner light and discern how each individual person is being called to best live their life with God.
No Quakers don't take communion.
The Quakers believe in pacifism and nonviolence as core principles of their faith. Some Quakers actively engage in social justice and community service work as a way to live out their values. We met a group of Quakers at a peaceful protest advocating for environmental conservation.
Quakers are indeed Christians!
