I heard somewhere that the lack of buttons was actually more of a “modesty” issue because buttons on your clothing could been seen as decoration… somehow. Makes me wonder about their view on zippers snaps and velcro 😂
Historically, buttons were decorated very elaborately to add fashionable flair to clothing. To the Amish, that would be considered very vain, so buttons in general became disallowed. If you go to US Colonial or Revolutionary Era reenactments, sometimes you can find buttonmaker booths with beautiful, highly ornamental buttons for sale. They used all sorts of embroidery techniques over wooden buttons to make them more fashionable.
@@Juliet-on-YT didn't know that, that's intersting. However, if I was let's say starting an Amish movmenet or whatever, I would maybe say hey guys, let's use little wooden/stone/whatever peaces, let's make them as plain/ugly as possible, and not let's POKE ourselves with needles :D. To be fair, I do have unhealthy amount of fear of cutting/poking. :)
@@shirleysparks1148 In the Amish community specifically? Dunno bout that, I don’t think men have that many burdens compared to women. I’m not even sure if they go to war these days.
thank you very much for sharing. The buttons in women clothes where hardly used until a century ago (when fabric became cheaper). Through history, all grown women clothing allowed you to be pregnant in it( the amautis of inuits are an exception). That's what the pins are for (ajusting the dress to your changing body). By the way, the under part doesn't cover the breast. So if you wear a shift with a slit in it, it's relatively easy to breastfeed. Buttons were sometimes used in wealthy women garment and that was very scandalous (like, I don't want to be a mother yet and if I do, I can afford to have a new dress each time my body changes). That's what Amish rules are against more than what the buttons look like. Not trying to excuse anything here, just sharing some info on textile situation before us.
So basically how women dressed before we had zippers or cheap plastic buttons. In east asia, we did not use pins but little ties and sashes to hold things together, which did not allow for form fitting clothes or easy movement. But no getting hurt from pins..
Thank you, that was a really good video. I never wanted to be Amish but I found the dress itself quite interesting. I totally wouldn't want to have to pin myself into the dress, but I do like the versatility. Because of the pins, it appears to me like the dress could still be worn even when one feels more bloated/gains or looses weight. Do you agree? Also, how did it feel like to change to store bought clothing. Of course you were able to choose, but as someone who grew up with the different sizing with different brands and the different fit of different styles, I oftentimes find it quite frustrating to go shopping. What was your experience like? Lastly, I have made some clothes for myself, and am really impressed by the dress. Did you get to use a sewing machine for it? And did you make any more clothing after leaving the Amish?
We have an Amish Ccomunity here. In the houses where the women work, No electricity. At all. The heat with wood stoves, they cook on wood stoves. The men however, at work, DO use electricty. They use electric saws, hydraulic pressess, gas powered log splitters. I find it rather hypocritical. The women cannot use, but the men can.
Not all Amish groups are against buttons. The two groups here in southwest Missouri use buttons. They just have limits to how many can be on an article of clothing.
Buttons used to be very ornate so the Amish saw them as too flashy and immodest. Also, it's much easier to keep teens from fooling around in secret if they have to do this elaborate pinning every time they got dressed. It also keeps young women from being "too active" and "unladylike." It's essentially a method of control.
That was interesting. I've never wanted to be Amish, but the whole pinning the dress thing kind of confirms I would have hated it. I'm surprised buttons to prevent stick yourself with pins is too advanced. Also I couldn't deal with a collar that's too high up. I feel choked pretty easily.
The dress is pretty. And I would wear it. But not with those pins. It could be designed so much better. It is strange that the church made rules so strict about how your pleats are supposed to be. I get general rules, like don’t show your collar bone or your elbows. But it just seemed very strict in a way that makes people miserable. Then again, maybe you get used to the rules. I have always been fascinated by Amish.
Okay, stupid question but even if they dont believe in buttons, what's the problem with hooks like in olden times?? I'm hooks would be a hell of a lot more easier and comfortable to wear than pins
i think it depends what denomination you are. i live in an amish area and this dress is very visually different from the ones the people around me wear, and here its a lot less pins and more wrapping/tucking fabric. im pretty sure there are denominations that use hooks and eyes because i know a few mennonites locally that have a few buttoned clothes :)
Buttons allow you to be pregnant without needing a new dress. Pregnancy cloth are a very modern thing. I don't think pins are that bad, they were used a lot in the past. Their use for getting dressed disappeared with growth of textile industry and cheap clothes you can change more often.
Okay but I want to wear dresses like that every day except with nice, plain wood ✨buttons✨ because I would absolutely stab the heck out of myself with all those pins, just be little blood stains all over the dresses, lol. But seriously that dress was ADORABLE.
Interesting! Thanks for showing us that! Also, I’m CRAZY impressed that you were able to sew that!! 🤯 I usually joke that I would have never survived in the 1800s because I barely passed my sewing class 😂😂
You couldn’t even have fabric covered buttons? Seriously, a small flat rock or piece of bark wrapped with the same fabric as the dress would’ve been considered ‘fancier’ than a shiny pin? What was the punishment when one or more pins inevitably fell out? Or was that the idea?
Pins make fooling around in secret even more difficult because it's quite a task to resecure one's clothing with pins. It's just another insidious method of control.
Pins mean you don't have to do any sewing to adjust the dress for changes to the body like pregnancy, gaining/losing weight, bloating, etc. It seems strange to our modern views, but pins were the normal way for women's clothing to be secured for hundreds of years throughout europe and america, right up until the industrial revolution made clothing much cheaper. The weird part is all their rules for spacing between pins, no pins at an angle, etc. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to keep everything exactly right... as someone with a larger chest, I have trouble understanding how some women would avoid gaps popping open around the bust without being able to space pins close together.
I’m curious to know why not buttons? Pins seem like they would come undone a lot? I would be afraid of it slipping and I would think that would be immodest? I’m thinking only about it staying closed. Is there a reason for not using buttons?
Hi there! Please May I ask you ( just out of pure curiosity) what happens when a woman is visibly pregnant with a tummy- is there a different type of dress maybe just a different template or were needles allowed to be safety needles? Could you demonstrate that please? Xx
I have couple questions…how come Amish people can’t marry outside there race?? And when they marry in there community are they marrying there cousins??thank you for sharing lizzie
What I don’t get is why you wouldn’t just be able to wear a button up blouse if your gonna spend so much time pinning the dress. Are you guys able to go to English stores to buy buttons?
Banning the use of buttons is a method of control. Supposedly they were originally banned because buttons were often ornate and, therefore, immodest. However, it makes more sense that forcing teens to spend a ridiculous amount of time getting every pin in the right place is an effective way to ensure they never had the opportunity to fool around in secret. It's also part of keeping people humble and obedient by holding everyone in the community to ridiculous standards of perfection and punishing them when they inevitably fail.
@@LammasDeluge But now they’re not that fancy. Lol I am of the persuasion that the Amish need to not worry as much about their teenage children having sex (because like it or not, some make that decision) but about if their girls are being abused and/or making sure no one has a disease or an unplanned pregnancy Oh I have another question - are the pins supposed to make it harder to get the garment off and it might protect women from sexual assault?
@@MalloryNewcombso.. you are of the persuasion that the Amish should be rational and not be completely brainwashed to blindly follow rules that don't improve their life at all? Then you are asking too much of them.
@@priiifrg I’m assuming that is sarcasm? IRL I can know someone is being sarcastic but I still respond sometimes like they’re serious & I was just about to do that. I watched Eli Yoder on Cults to Consciousness recently and I learned a lot about the effects of lack of sex education for the youth and young adults in the Old Order Amish. It was so eye-opening for me. I had not even thought of it since I got sex education (didn’t think about it until watching that video), but I think there’s a lot of danger in having no sex education. Whatever your religious persuasion, I think it is important to educate the youth in this realm so that whatever they decide to do, they can make the most informed decision possible.
I wonder how any woman (amish or not) would be expected to wear any type of clothing with pins or anything kind of extra that would make getting/staying dressed more complicated. Especially when they have to cook, do house chores, canning, child rearing and gardening and whatever other work they do. With the way I am, if I wore this dress while doing housework and working with animals or in the garden, I'd probably wind up naked cause I'd move so fast they'd just all pop out. i never really do well with pins in my clothes. I used to wear Dockers work pants and the buttons and zippers always went so I'd have to pin them up. Bad idea, the pins always popped out. So pins are a no go for me lol.
Do you know what women would wear when they are breastfeeding? I cannot imagine for the life of me having to undo all of that every time you want to nurse your baby.
I saw a young Amish girl at the farmer’s market this morning having her lunch break near where my friend and I were having breakfast. I noticed the girl seemed to have buttons on her dress. I mentioned it to my friend (she’s visiting from abroad so we went together to visit the Amish in Ohio recently) and I think the girl heard me (or else she was just looking at my dog). I was dying to ask her about the buttons (they may have been snaps). I thought buttons were a non-negotiable (although I saw them on Amish babies in Ohio). What’s the story?

@@viceb7relatively speaking, it is actually newer. Certainly newer than Christianity and Judaism, and in fact the Quran references Christian and Jewish texts and peoples, and allows for them in its teachings.
Because first God sent Judaism, then after many years Christianity then after many years Islam. All the same main message but adapted to the times and people. BUT Muslims believe they were changed by corrupted people over time hence Islam came with the last prophet and will stay preserved till the end. Even before Judaism, He sent many religions to every area of the world throughout history but they’re no longer recorded. And that’s how we’re all linked and have similar beliefs.
How is it "proper" or "modest" to have on a dress that's literally a few flimsy pins away from coming undone? I understand cultural differences but you think someone would finally be smart enough to acknowledge that the way they are doing some things undermining their own standards/rules. Smh.
Wow, imagine being considered a "rebel" because you wanted your pleat line to go down to the bottom hem of your dress, instead of 4 inches above that. Wow
Yeah I never had aspirations to be Amish but in the summertime you can’t even wear a tank top outside? Not for me fam! I’m all about that Christian modesty but I like my bright colors and tank tops & expressing my personality through my fashion ❤ Dress looks very cute on you though!
I would imagine a dress like this keeps your cooler than a tank top though as the sun doesn't directly hit your skin. The cotton looked quite thin as well.
@@Smittenhamster In general I’m don’t tend to go for a long sleeve garment unless it’s a jacket or some form of outerwear. So maybe my personal taste figures into that comment
I'm curious why the outfit is so convoluted and tight fitting if it's supposed to be modest. Surely a basic loose abaya/kaftan style would be most modest and easier to wear.
It's not just the dress. Every aspect of Amish life is filled with ridiculous rules and unachievable standards of perfection to keep people under control. The constant shaming of everyone when they fail to be perfect makes them lack confidence in their own ability to reason and keeps them dependent on those in leadership roles. The strict rules also keep people busy so they have very little time to seek out knowledge. It's insidious.
@@LammasDelugefinally someone who gets it! The only people 'fascinated' with the Amish or any other strict cult/religion are the ones who were never part of anything like it.
A lot of people tired of nudity and expensive clothes that looks like trash are going back to simplicity. Im not a dress woman but i dont like uncovered chest or any kind of shirt that you can see a bra. What do amish wear under dress?
those modesty guidelines are similar to what i follow as a jewish woman. i am covered from collarbone to elbow to knee and always wear dresses or skirts
For the simplicity of the life, this dress is to difficult to put on. Even Ebola protective gear seams easier to wear. Plus you do not risk to get tetanus from all this "safety pins".
I do not believe that you ever were Amish. I work with the community and different walks of people that have left the community and I think this is all a lie.
Leaves the Amish life, talk about it every fucking time. Your roots are who made you, even if you don't want to be in it; it's not chosen it's birthed.
I read a post recently from someone who spends time with Swartzentruber amish and she said the small children do have buttons, always on the back of their garments (feasible since they are young enough that they probably have someone helping them get dressed).
I know they are against technology, I didn't know it meant also buttons!

Kids don't just grow taller. They would also outgrow the dress in every other measurement.
those modesty guidelines are similar to what i follow as a jewish woman. i am covered from collarbone to elbow to knee and always wear dresses or skirts
It’s all Abrahamic religion.
Someone may have already asked this, but why not use buttons?
I think the Bishops are secretly stereotype gay because why else would they studied dress enough to make these rules
Im curious what kind of breast support was used? I imagine nips showing was a huge no- no
Muslim women use straight pins to attach their hijab to an undercap. But no pins on other clothing. Kinda interesting.
How do women breastfeed??
Lizzie, the more I watch you, the deeper I fall in love with you. You are such an incredible woman!!! Day in and day out, I long to be your man!!!
Interesting
Why not just have buttons instead of pins??
Why not use buttons?
Two questions:
1. Why pins? Why nothing that would be safe? Buttons too fancy or what??
2. Who the hell wants to be Amish? Like WTF 😅
Too many pins. Safety pins would be easier. Buttons and zippers or velcro is better.
How did women breastfeed? I imagine that was the e standard?
For the simplicity of the life, this dress is to difficult to put on. Even Ebola protective gear seams easier to wear. Plus you do not risk to get tetanus from all this "safety pins".
It seems like in all religions and belives, women have to cover up 😮😮
What what even pin 📌 rule
You are as interesting as beautiful.
I do not believe that you ever were Amish. I work with the community and different walks of people that have left the community and I think this is all a lie.
FYI....Does matter what you think or believe. I know whats true.
Leaves the Amish life, talk about it every fucking time. Your roots are who made you, even if you don't want to be in it; it's not chosen it's birthed.
How many amish babies choke on pins!
I read a post recently from someone who spends time with Swartzentruber amish and she said the small children do have buttons, always on the back of their garments (feasible since they are young enough that they probably have someone helping them get dressed).
