I added the link to the appropriate Italian Dominican monastery on the Links page. However, since I use my cellphone as a modem when traveling with my laptop,...
Gemma, I have my shortcut to this group set so that it goes directly to the messages, so I haven't seen the home page for maybe a week or so. I just now looked...
I know we didn't when I was a Baptist. And of all the choir robe catalogs I've seen, I've never seen anything "strange" regarding headwear. FWIW. Blessings, ...
I've been on a really tight budget lately, so I don't own a copy of Kuhn's book and have not read it yet; but my local library has one, so I'll have to go on...
Eileen: Were my eyes deceiving me or did Kuhns actually make a differentiation between "congregation" and "institute" in "The Habit?" I really thought she...
... LOL -- my thoughts exactly! ... I've been looking at that site you posted called "Glenfont Habitry", and have been very impressed. I'm sure they could make...
Eileen: can we draw the conclusion that Hollywood called the order the "Sisters of Charity of Belgium" and changed the habit "to protect the innocent?" What's...
I forgot to mention that the Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary were pioneers in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, and also (I think) the first...
... LOL :-) (Also, I'm guessing the moviemakers didn't want the habit to look too specifically like any given order, for fear of giving offense.) +Pax Eileen...
When I was on a vocation retreat with the Visitandines, I asked about their habit. One of the sisters told me they were "put together with straight pins" and...
I think I'm going to have to reread the story. My guess as to the different habits: HOLLYWOOD. Nuff said. Blessings, Gemma ... her ... being "shell- ... over ...
Ever since I first read "The Nun's Story" I've puzzled over what her habit must have looked like. She describes the coif as being "shell- like" around the...

Perhaps you can download it into the "files" section? That would be pretty kewl. I saw a book on Amazon.com re: nuns in either Central or South America and...
It's in Italian, so (as I don't know Italian) I'm typing it into a Word document, and will then run it through BabelFish, to see if it can translate it (I've...
Including the nursing habit for the Felician Sisters; Sisters of Charity of Belgium ("The Nun's Story"); and the cornette Dominican Sisters of Charity (correct...
Eileen: would you please be so kind as to share with us what that book says concerning the cornette? Blessings, Gemma ... author ... a ... to ... on ... ...
you can see a breakdown of pieces at gothicgarments.net, look at the second page of Latin sisters. They say that the wimple/guimpe is the 'bib' and the white...
I guess it depends on the order??? But, yes, in my book, at least, the wimple is the white surrounding the face, and the guimpe is the large collar. Unless, of...
I always thought the guimpe was that big collar, and the wimple was the cloth that wraps around the face, but the entry for "guimpe" in my French dictionary...
Blessings has updated their special order nun doll list. They added three on Sept. 15. The one that stands out in my mind is the "Daughters of Calvary"--at...
I've seen "wimple" and "guimpe" used interchangably. My understanding is that "wimple" is German and "guimpe" is French for basically the same thing--that big...
Well, starting on page 167 of "La Sostanza dell'Effimero" the author does deal with the history of the cornette, which has had more changes over the centuries...
I read on some kind of "cyber monastery" site that the Daughters of Charity's cornette was attached to a cap. This prevented the cornette from wearing a sore...
However, I'm sure one of the habit makers listed on our main site would work with you. As long as the habit isn't worn outside, there shouldn't be any...
I am interested in buying a habit from an old pre-vatican style of a cloistered community. Want to display it in my living room like the art that it is. But...
Gemma -- To which congregation does the sister on the home page belong? I looked in both McCarthy and Dehey, but didn't see it (I may have simply missed it). ...
