Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 This is probably going to be a big surprise to everyone but recently we changed our veil! Nothing is up yet on our website. It's going to take time to change out the photos. What do you think? I don't know why it is showing up sideways!
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 It is! MUCH MORE! And tons easier to make!
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 17, 2016 Author Posted October 17, 2016 Comfort, ease of sewing and looks! :-) The discussion has been going on forever!

I can imagine ease of sewing! I'm not sure what these new ones are like, but other veils like this I've seen seem pretty much to be a straight piece of fabric with finished edges. Aren't your current veils a neat - but complicated-looking - two-point style?
DameAgnes Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 I love it. It looks beautiful and very neat.
John Paul Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 That is very cool. Is that the way it used to be before the previous veil...maybe before vat.II

Aren't your current veils a neat - but complicated-looking - two-point style? Our veils are super easy! The two points are made just by sewing a line at an angle when the veil is folded. Our new veil as a fold over at the top to create a pocket for a narrow piece of polystyrene to shape it. 35 minutes ago, John Paul said: That is very cool.

graciandelamadrededios Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 it looks cool and comfortable. very similar to the veils of Dominican Nuns in Cainta, Philippines.

Not at all. Cainta wears exactly what we wore until 1981. They have a longer guimpe and it tied tightly around the face. Our guimpe is very soft and stretchy!

John Ambs Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Sister...I'm a guy who grew up right after V-ll. Just from an aesthetic point of view, the traditional veil is so much more appealing than the modified veil your community used to wear: great to learn it is more comfortable too. So two giant thumbs up! Beautiful.
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 We'll glue it on! Seriously, it does stay in place. Well, for most Sisters! We have to make some adjustments still!
nikita92 Posted October 18, 2016 Posted October 18, 2016 Great choice! I am loving the coverage as I am attracted to that style anyways!:)
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted October 18, 2016 Author Posted October 18, 2016 Small group photo. As usual, I'm behind the camera! I like it there! :-)
