26. Women Sew Their Own Clothes
In order to maintain a simple, Biblical lifestyle, Amish women sew their own clothes, traditionally from one single color and likely woven of one fabric to comply with the laws in Leviticus. They do not use any accessories, usually not even buttons. In preparation for a wedding, a bride might sew her own formal dress, which will be used on other occasions, as well. Because married women do not wear rings, they often wear black bonnets.
