Theater Professional and Amish Book Author Review 

Thank you so much for the Amish prayer Kapp and bonnet! They're perfect. I plan to use them in future photo shoots for my book covers. You are a wonderful seller and an asset to eBay! Everything I have ordered from you has been high quality and authentic. The shipping is fast, and the prices are reasonable. I have already used the heart-shaped prayer Kapp I previously purchased from you on these book covers: Amish by Accident, Joanna's Struggle (Amish Girls Series), and Danika's Journey (Amish Girls Series).

Sincerely,
J.E.B. Spredemann, Author of Amish by Accident and the Amish Girls Series for teens

Subject: Resource for Amish Clothing- costume

Hello Designer and Costuming friends,

I have recently had the pleasure of making contact with a wonderful lady in the heart of Amish country. As I continue work on a special film project, Sandra Hohenwarter has fast become a trusted resource for authentic Amish and “plain dress” clothing.
Sandra lives in Lancaster, PA and has extensive knowledge regarding the Amish way of life and how her local neighbors dress. She has worked on numerous projects including film and television during the last decade providing support for costume designers, producers, directors, writers, and photographers. Sandra has clients throughout the US and abroad who rely on her services.
Sandra is a joy to work with. She immediately understood my needs and found all the items we needed for filming- in the appropriate sizes, styles and colors. She is efficient, can turn orders around in a very timely manner...AND her prices are extremely competitive. I have been so impressed with her support, that I wanted to share her as a resource and promote her services.
Cheers and all my best always,

Sydney LA CA
