TV, Magazines, Runways... appropriating Amish dress and style is all the rage!
What a lot of these images miss, though, is the point of Amish clothing.
Modesty!
Amish women wear clothing to conceal the female figure... not flaunt it. You would not see the outline of breasts or hips. You would not see flesh of the waist or thigh.
Women in Amish communities do not wear men's clothing, lace or show legs!
This is what Amish clothing looks like when it is fetishized by the fashion industry.
