Growing up in the Amish, I was only allowed to wear SOME of the fabrics in the Amish fabric stores. The girls in Rumspringa were usually allowed to have some more fabrics and colors than when they were a member of the church. Sometimes, lavender is very looked down upon to wear at Amish church, and some people were not allowed to wear purple at all. At church we had to wear long sleeved dresses so whenever we made long sleeved dresses they had to be more plain. Most Reds, Yellows, Orange, and Pinks are looked down upon and considered fancy, which means more worldly according to the Amish. Each Amish church also has standards in what fabrics they can wear. This was my experience in my community in the Middlefield, Ohio area.
