What is the difference betwen Amish and Mennonite womens' clothing?

I think Amish women wear plain solid color dresses and always wear an apron, usually black or dark in color, and a bonnet. Mennonite women wear pastel dresses sometimes a floral print and do not have to wear an apron like Amish women. They also wear a bonnet most of the time

1. You are almost right. Amish youth wear an apron and they only wear bonnets to go out. They do, however wear a religious head covering. The color depends on the group, but for the most part, they wear dark colors. The Mennonite description is spot on. The size and shape of the covering depends on the group but most conservative groups of Mennonites wear them.
