Crazy youtube/Amish question.. LOL..

[C.Ann]

Let me preface this by saying that I never look at youtube unless someone posts a link here and I think it's something I might be interested in seeing..

Now - for the "Amish" part.. Seems youtube has videos on just about everything under the sun and one part of my Amish research that keeps lingering in the back of my mind (even though I'm currently focusing on the buggy types - differences of styles; colors; how to determine what "Order" or church district they are from; etc.), I keep thinking back to how the Amish women use straight pins to put on their dresses and aprons and keep them in place (up to a dozen often required) and in every photo I have seen, there is no evidence of them at all.. Not even a "hint"..

I tried googling for diagrams or something, but came up with nothing.. If by any chance there was a video of how it's done on youtube, is there a way I can "search" for it on that site?

I really, really would like to "see" how this is done..

Thanks!

this is for the Swartzentruber Amish.

Makes me think of Art's topic about his wife getting dressed... at least they have a good reason for taking 2hrs.

What a job every morning and seems no easy access for nursing all those babies a dozen times daily . No deodrant under all those layers is frightening!

No deodrant under all those layers is frightening!

Lets just hope after all those layers, it stays trapped in there.

My old birth center catered heavily to Amish women. I've seen the pins, and holy crap, I'm both impressed and baffled as to how they do it.

Thank you so much, Sandra!!!!!!

So did you find that just by typing in what you wanted on the youtube search function? If so, that might be extremely helpful for some other Amish things I'm looking for.. At times, the "descriptions" that I'm reading about various items and their way of doing things just can't quite come together in my head..

Gotta love the DIS and all the helpful folks here..

I typed in "amish dress". But I had to look down a bit to find the right one. There's a lot of videos by regular people about them, and how we view them. But there's only a handful of videos from the Amish. I'm assuming from more liberal orders, and those that are friends with outsiders.
