Kate Stoltz

"A year ago, I never would have done a lingerie shoot. I don't know if I've become more comfortable with myself or with the idea."
Stoltz, who was born Kate Stoltzfus, explained that she's used to wearing fancy underwear because it's one of the few treats the Amish women are allowed. She said: "My aunt once said, I can't wear nice dresses, but a good pair of underwear always makes me feel like I look good, even if I'm the only one that knows it!". Stoltz, who is single, is slowly settling into modern society and is getting to grips with her iPhone and social networking sites, where she shares selfies and modeling snaps with fans. Although she says she does not have a television, she is soon to appear on a spinoff show, Return to Amish, which begins in June.
The photo shoot isn't the first time she's broken the rules of the strict faith. During Breaking Amish, she was forced to admit she had been arrested for a DUI before the show. Blogs also revealed she had previously submitted images to modeling agencies - which is at odds with the Amish stance against photographs, believing they represent 'vanity' which they deem a sin. Online records show that Kate posted a photograph to enter a Best Smile contest in 2010 - years before she claimed she gave up her Amish life to move to the city.
