That's nice that you are open-minded enough to make a video as many Swartzentruber will not have their pictures taken. We are all open-minded to different cultures. So much appreciation to you for sharing your culture.
That was an education! Thanks. I didn't know it was so complicated and layered, with so many pins. Looks like that would make it difficult to move freely and comfortably.
For a people that are said to dress plain, this dress seems pretty complex... I would have actually have thought something simpler would have been better suited to the simple life style? I also wonder how hard it is to work in this outfit? And what about nursing mothers? There’s no way a mother could nurse a baby in this could they?
Yes, I agree. I thought the dress simply was sewn, as a slip on, no zippers or elastic, I knew it all tied.. but tge safety pins ??? WOW, I need to buy stock! Lol I do admit I admire her. Quite a lot, now especially. 👍💟
I don’t mean to be disrespectful but if you can’t use/wear elastic, what holds your underpants up? And what is reason for the cuffs etc not being wider than 5/8th’s of an inch?
@@Vicki1930 I think she said they're not allowed to wear underpants. As for the precise measurements etc, it sounds very fundamentalist, culty, controlling - much like sharia law.
thanks for sharing that...my grandparents were Amish but I never got to see anyone get dressed before. I couldn't help wondering if you've ever tried to get through airport security with all those safety pins, lol.
I'm curious, are the clothing for men restricted from having any buttons, zippers, elastic and so forth also? You're such a lovely woman. Thank you for sharing with us. Insight always makes us more knowledgeable.
@@karenrollins1469 Woman mostly work indoors - cooking, canning vegetables, tending children, etc. All the things you do inside. Men either work in the fields as farmer or do construction work, so their clothing would need to be a bit looser. But, no zippers, no elastic, no visible buttons. Buttons were associated with the military, and are not worn. (Flies do button, because those buttons are not visible; using hooks and eyes just doesn't work!)
Thanks for showing us this. I grew up close to an Amish community but never got to know anyone in that church, so I had no idea how the people lived on any intimate level. I would love to know as much as you are comfortable sharing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how you dress and do your hair... I was wondering why you can use Hair pins but not Bobby pins... Wow... That is a lot of Safety Pins, it takes me ages to close one of those and you do it so quickly and without looking, but I suppose you have used them for so long... I would do myself an injury if I had a straight pin that close to my neck, I can't even use them to turn up a hem, without stabbing myself...
My biggest question would be how do you not have a heat stroke in the summer with all that fabric on you. And my other question would be how do you deal with body odors? We go and buy stuff at our local Amish store and I'm always astonished at the body odor in the summer. It's just very very very strong.
makes me wonder how they get 8 or more kids, the ardure would have worn off after stabbing yourself a gazillion times with all those pins, and layers of clothes, strange lot.
Its unbearable. Its terrible. So many clothes, so many pins. It so unpractical, like a jail. Its so tide and fit, so hot. I'm getting more angry simply by thinking of it!!! Thank God of Greece, our tradition is much, much, much more liberal than that!! -.
I just came across this video, and I was wondering are they allowed to use metal hook and eye closures? I was wonder since that type of closure would have been available to people back when the Amish first arrived in the US and they would be a lot easier to deal with compared to the pins.
Thank you for explaining the dress! Your ordnung is new to me, so I was curious. It seems that nursing a baby would be a real production in that dress.
I wil Thank you verry mutch to cher this with others ,me ,my zelf had a great respect for. other religions and culture,'s ,it must be a verry personley thing to cher it ,Thank you for your kindness , Elizabeth from the Netherlands .
It looks like a dress when you go to the tailor an he tries to find right size for you. There is no way anyone would consider this dress as "simple." For me it would take 30 min. Of course IF I would find those safety pins.
Very interesting, thank you. Why are safety pink OK but no elastic, buttons or hook and eyes? Also, are the same layers and thickness of material worn in the summer? Germany's summers were not as stifling as continental North America's. It looks very nice when on, but a heck of a lot of work.
And did I mention what an unbearable oppression is that string around the neck!! Thank God, no Greek would ever have come up with such an oppressive idea!! -.
I always thought that Amish women just pull over their dress and that's it. You know in simple way. It can be 1 or 2 pieces, but something that can be dressed up in the military 1 min. Here, it would take me forever. And I would get tetany from all those pins.
It took her 5 minutes to get dressed...5 minutes every day over 50 years is 95 hours of labour dedicated solely to getting dressed. I'm exhausted just watching that.
Lovely video, thanks for showing how it's done. But now I have one question what about feeding a baby, that's a lot to undo just for the little babe to get at ya every couple hours. Please take no offense, I just thought of when I fed my babies. Is it a different style dress
What on earth would they have against buttons? If not buttons, then why not simple ties? Both have been around for thousands of years and would not be considered modern. Safety pins are relatively modern by comparison as they've been around less than 200 years.
For women when they hit menopause age all that clothing must be a nightmare to wear with the hot flushes & sweats.. Could not imagine wearing those clothes 😱
Mai Chang Some orders do use snaps/buttons. I think this is some bs as the Swartzentrubers are very, very conservative and poor. I couldn't see them making any video. They do with very little.
It depends on what sort of Amish they are and what has been deemed "too modern" My family lived by a lot of Amish and at the farmer's market, there would be a huge variance in their dress just between neighbors. The largest church by my dad allowed the members to have a community barn with electricity and a phone. They also could use buttons.
Hi, I just subscribed to your channel 👍 I'm absolutely fascinated! Why so many safety pins & no buttons? Please explain. You and your home is absolutely stunning! 💟 I admire you! 💟
Thank you for posting this video and your hair video. I am fascinated by Amish culture. Despite what some of the other comments say here, you are a beautiful culture and a lovely lady yourself. What is the difference from Swartzentruber or other Amish?
the first from what i have seen is the first group are truly off grid in all the ways. the amish tend to use some elements of moidernism. ranging from lights, phones,cars and machine tools. The Swartezentruger use still horse and buggy, no running water in the house, no electricity, no phones, farming is hand done.
How very useful these videos to document this lifestyle visually! Perhaps your husband could show his outfit, such as the drop-front trousers, or the lack of an undershirt + vest, as well as his Sunday hat. Are there ways or restrictions as to how to carry a bible? Who carries/reads a bible on Sunday...is it all the congregation, or only the preacher?
Why not buttons instead of all those safety pins? This must be to teach you patience, because if you rush you’re bound to turn yourself into a pin cushion! God bless women! Thanks for sharing...
AndreasAntoniusMaria: Thank you for the correct translation. I would like to say that this video does not make anyone look "ridiculous," it is just showing people what things are like. What I find sad are some of the other things going on, but there's nothing in this video to be ashamed of or hurt by. I respect good people everywhere, however they dress, and so do many others. Thanks for the correct translation.
I believe modesty is important for Christian women, but the rules that strict Amish make up are just ridiculous! Buttons don't make clothes immodest. (:
Buttons were originally associated with the military, which is why they don't use them. Military men also had mustaches, and altho Amish and Mennonite men have beards, they shave around their noses and lips.
They make fabulous quilts and are good at sewing, why the use of so many safety pins. Surely a slip style dress, plain of course would be of much more usable than loads of safety pins
She looks so uncomfortable. Hope she doesn't pass a magnet....all those pins. BTW... where did that dress code idea come from? It's not biblical, so who dreamed it up?
The legend is that once there was a young maiden named Tilly, she was a bakers daughter and the fairest of all the women in her village. After her 15th year an middle aged man named John Peter came to the tiny village in search of a new life. John was weary and hungry from his travels, so he stopped in at the local bakery to purchase some bread. When John entered the bakery he noticed the fair Tilly churning butter, and decided then that she must be his. John offered Tillys father Three gold coins, a flock of sheep and a pig for Tillys hand in marriage. Tillys father agreed, and They were married in a fortnite. John was a kind and honest husband, he worked hard and he generously gave his patience and knowledge of life to Young Tilly. The summer Tilly turned 17 was the same summer that a fleet of soldiers came to the small village to colonize the near by natives. The young Tilly was a sight for The love starved and home sick men. John grew impatient and jealous over all the attention that Tilly received from the soldiers, and decided to punish Tilly for flaunting her beauty. That night John snuck into Tillys wardrobe and replaces all her clothes with plain material, removed her hair brush and put her Sunday shoes into the trash. John demanded that Tilly keep her long flowing crimson hair up in a tight bun, and covered so no man should ever cast their lustful eyes on her again. Tilly spent the rest of her days covered, hungry for attention and love.
I believe in dressing appropriately and modestly but I don't understand how that translates into the strict rules about how thick a ribbon or hem can be. I like the idea of simple living but some of the rules about modern conveniences seem to be nitpicky like they can't have a phone in the house but it is ok on a pole outside the house. It also bothers me that they will turn their back on family and friends over the smallest transgression just because the church elders say to. I think that they have taken a lot of good principals to the extreme and made their religion just about rules and not about the core message of the Bible.
What's wrong with elastic and bobby pins? Why does all the measurements on your clothing have to be so precise? I would feel like I was strangling with that shoe string around my neck.
This whole dressing with pins does not seem to agree with the bobby pins issue.....I cannot understand the reasoning behind the complicated dress...........
I had no idea there were so many layers and many pins. God bless you. Thank you for explaining this.
That's nice that you are open-minded enough to make a video as many Swartzentruber will not have their pictures taken. We are all open-minded to different cultures. So much appreciation to you for sharing your culture.
Just as precise as wearing Class A uniforms in the military.
Wonderful! Many Greetings from Germany. I like the way you are dressed! Thank you for showing us how to get dressed.
You’re amazing in that you did it so quick considering what’s involved! Thank you for sharing. 🌹Rosie of Oz 🇦🇺
That was an education! Thanks. I didn't know it was so complicated and layered, with so many pins. Looks like that would make it difficult to move freely and comfortably.
Honey I don't know how you ladies do it. It's hot an looks awfully uncomfortable. God bless you
Thank you for your demonstration on how you do that. I've always wanted to know. Its fascinating

Nursing mothers make their dresses different so they can nurse. And it’s not that difficult to work in dresses like this.

Lord that’s an whole ordeal to get dressed and undressed. Very interesting to see thanks for the video.
Thank you very much for sharing this! You are a sweet beautiful lady. God Bless you!🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thank you! I just learned from Dr. Turkey on TH-cam that there will be almost a million Amish in America by the year 2050! Wow!
Wow pretty awesome to see different cultures and the way how they live pretty darn awesome something new to learn
Thank you for sharing this. It seems very complicated to fasten all the pins. Much different than the Amish that live near me.
You are extremely brave to make these videos. Thank you kindly!
thanks for sharing that...my grandparents were Amish but I never got to see anyone get dressed before. I couldn't help wondering if you've ever tried to get through airport security with all those safety pins, lol.
OH my.......so many safety pins!!
They keep the safety pin company in business
They are not allowed buttons in their clothes.
You are adorable, I did enjoy your video very much. Thank you.
I'm curious, are the clothing for men restricted from having any buttons, zippers, elastic and so forth also? You're such a lovely woman. Thank you for sharing with us. Insight always makes us more knowledgeable.
Yes, same for men. No zippers or elastic. Button fly, a belt, and suspenders.
Zoe Emiko I’ll bet male clothing is a lot more comfortable

That was fascinating. I wonder who came up with details of that dress. 1/2 in this and that. Very interesting.

Dying of a heat stroke watching her put on all the layers. 😫
No to mention those ladies cannot use any deodorant. I feel yucky just thinking about it.
In actuality, it's cooler when your skin is covered. Don't you think there would be a lot of dead middle eastern people if that wasn't the truth?
My biggest question would be how do you not have a heat stroke in the summer with all that fabric on you. And my other question would be how do you deal with body odors? We go and buy stuff at our local Amish store and I'm always astonished at the body odor in the summer. It's just very very very strong.
I thought the dress was all one piece with the cape a separate piece over that. a lot of layers. o.k. nice job.
When I lived in Lancaster 35 years ago I saw STRAIGHT PINS on some poor ladies. Ouch!
😳 I would go crazy under all of that. I’m so claustrophobic.
Complicated, Saftey Pins, Strings, Straight Pins all kinds of wrapping this and that.
But I respect your Dress Code
They must have stock in the safety pin company. They’d never make it through the TSA. Checkpoint.
I don't wear a coat in the winter and I live near Chicago. I would go crazy in all these clothes.
Why would anyone want to follow such rules?? Everything seems to be so uncomfortable.
Wow - The dress looks so complicated!
What a complex process!
Ah, so that's where pinny or pinafore comes from. That's a lot of pins!
Oh wow that looks very uncomfortable and way too hot to wear during summer. I live in Florida and you would bake in that.
Funny you
Who needs a quilt when your wearing 10 tons of fabric. So much for hot flashes pull off all the clothes run around the house nekked.
makes me wonder how they get 8 or more kids, the ardure would have worn off after stabbing yourself a gazillion times with all those pins, and layers of clothes, strange lot.
What does "nekked" mean???
Oh one more thing: I thought TV, computers, magazines etc were verboten among the Amish. Have things changed recently?
Its unbearable. Its terrible. So many clothes, so many pins. It so unpractical, like a jail. Its so tide and fit, so hot. I'm getting more angry simply by thinking of it!!!
Thank God of Greece, our tradition is much, much, much more liberal than that!!

Wouldnt it be easier to add buttons and button holes to close the garment
The Ordnung would have to be updated to address such an issue, and buttons can be seen by some as decoration.
@@julierauthshaw8556 thank you for kindly answering my question

They wear all this in the summer ?!
Thanks for sharing this with us your just beautiful thanks again
Do you ever make these dresses to sell? If so I'd be interested in buying them
That's way fancier than just a T-shirt and jeans lol
Where does she get those clothes?
It took her 5 minutes to get dressed...5 minutes every day over 50 years is 95 hours of labour dedicated solely to getting dressed. I'm exhausted just watching that.
5 minutes? I thought it's more than that. Lol
5x365x50/60 =1520 hours. A school year is 1080 hours

It's very much like dressing a lady in 1500s. Lots of pieces, lots of pinning.
I'm curious about pleats, what are there significance, if any?
Oh my. Looks so hot. But thank you for sharing. I've been around Amish people already and never realized how they put those dresses on.
Do the men have to wear all of these layers like the women? How can you handle the heat in the summer? TYVM!
Such talented seamstresses. Imagine what they could do with buttons.
TY, FASCINATING
How fucking UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!!!!
Would armpit shaving or kegs be allowed? I assume they have something to support l large bossoms. A bandage or some corset for the bust.
HaHa who will EVER know about armpit shaving if no one ever sees them!!!😁😂😋
Why can't you use snaps instead of all those safety pins or straight pins.? And why not black buttons? I would make it easy to dress for the day.

and Amish are not Grose and we are pretty because we are natural
Breanna I agree. just be plain and natural just be yourself.

what's with a the safety pins? why not buttons, what do they conjure up?
How many metal detectors have you set off in your life time? lol
They must stink of sweat in the summer, with so much on
What did you use before safety pins were invented?
Straight pins, just like all women did before buttons were invented/cheap.

In the time it takes you to dress, I could shower, dress, cook breakfast, wash the dishes and walk the dog. Oh, and bake a cake.
jeans and a hoodie :) modest enough
Idiot
Don't understand why is the word Deception is mentioned in the caption behind
I believe in dressing appropriately and modestly but I don't understand how that translates into the strict rules about how thick a ribbon or hem can be. I like the idea of simple living but some of the rules about modern conveniences seem to be nitpicky like they can't have a phone in the house but it is ok on a pole outside the house. It also bothers me that they will turn their back on family and friends over the smallest transgression just because the church elders say to. I think that they have taken a lot of good principals to the extreme and made their religion just about rules and not about the core message of the Bible.
The rules are laid out in the Amish Ordnung that they follow. The measurements are found there.
Did she say, no bras or under garments?
Why can't they use buttons? I would be afraid they r going to get pricked.yikes.dangerous
Do men use pins on their clothing too?
I just love the Amish culture!
I love this oitfit but i would not use the pins: i would just aew in some velcro.
Do the pleats and measurements have religious significance.
Why are you allowed to use hairpins & safety pins when those are modern inventions/conveniences? Are seeing machines and ready made thread allowed?
What's wrong with elastic and bobby pins? Why does all the measurements on your clothing have to be so precise? I would feel like I was strangling with that shoe string around my neck.
What's with all the 'not allowed this and that'? Who makes the rules?
This whole dressing with pins does not seem to agree with the bobby pins issue.....I cannot
understand the reasoning behind the complicated dress...........
