Description
Three young Amish woman in the heartland of Amish farm country Pennsylvania, strolling barefoot shoes and purses in hand. They are probably my daughters age around 19 or 20. It's humbling to see how others live happily and simply in a close knit community.

Beth Ferris Sale replied:
Lol.... Michel I am a modern girl fascinated by their life. So opposite of them growing up in the center of NYC. You always wonder how other people live. The things that make them happy.

Thank you Michel. I did a little research and Amish Women and girls wear long dresses that are never shorter than calf length. The dresses may be in a variety of solid colors depending on the individual community, but are always covered with black or white aprons. According to Amish dress code, the hair of Amish women and girls must always be covered in public. Women wear white prayer caps, usually made of organza and stiffened with starch. In some communities, the caps are constructed of softer fabric, held on by strings tied under the chin.
