Plain dress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plain dress is a religious practice where people dress in clothes of traditional modest design, sturdy fabric, and conservative cut. It is used to show humility and to preserve communal separateness from the rest of the world. It is practiced by some Amish, Apostolics[citation needed], Brethren, Hutterites, Mennonites, and Friends (Quakers), among others.[1]
