Jennifer 169 Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 (edited) I think that the postulants of the Regular Canonesses of the Mother of God have a very appealing outfit with their veils and capes.

Saint Therese 43 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I really like the postulant outfit of the Lockport Dominicans. (I'm discerning there!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
photosynthesis 56 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Do the Lockport Dominicans have a website? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

photosynthesis 56 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Those are some nice pictures! I definitely like that style of veil that the Lockport Dominicans have. That's what I'd want if I were a religious--a full black veil with a white robe, white scapular and Dominican black cloak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DameAgnes 785 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I remembered this thread from a while back. These sisters, the Benedictines of Mary, seem to have a nice habit for the postulants.

It's easier with the picture on their home page, I think: [url="http://www.benedictinesofmary.org/"]http://www.benedictinesofmary.org/[/url] I feel a bit mixed about it: it's absolutely beautiful as a mode of dress, but it's not very different from the habit. And I think it should be a bit more different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elizabeth_jane 0 Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Random thoughts-- 1) I like the jumper. I went to Catholic school and that's what we wore grades 1-6 (7-8 it was a skirt/blouse). It's generally flattering and it's easy to wear. As long as it's functional, I'm in. 2) I think it should be flattering, but not necessarily "Pretty". I like pretty clothes and all, but that's part of what I'd leave behind once I joined an order (along with make-up, too, I'm guessing, which kind of scares me more than the clothes! I love my mascara. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavenlyCalling 0 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 I agree that it should be different from the fully professed habit, but I do think that it can be similar in some respects ( such as color or length ) like the CFR sisters. The outfit seem to be function and modest and although it is a similar length and color, one would not confuse it with the habit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DominicanPhilosophy 0 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 My favorite postulant oufit, of course, is that of the Nashville Dominicans. It is "aesthetically pleasing," yet simple and humble with a modest Dominican cross pin. I don't particularly care for the DSMMEs' postulant outfits, but I wouldn't say they are "notoriously unattractive." The postulancy is a period of no true commitment, and wearing a full habit or something extremely "aesthetically pleasing" could cause a postulant to stay when it isn't her true call. Also, postulants tend to stay at the Motherhouse [or formation house], so it's not necessary to wear something especially "pleasing to the eye."

Deus te Amat 1,447 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Ahhh! I know one of those postulants! To stay on topic, I agree with DP. The Nashville Dominican's postulant outfits are practical. It doesn't matter what they look like, as long as it upholds the dignity of the Vocation and is also practical for daily living.

MandyKhatoon 7 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I like the SMME's postulant outfits or as I would like to call them, humility outfits!! They're blue for Our Lady dominicansoul 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadowedseraph 0 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I think as long as its practical it doesnt have to be overly pretty, of course it doesnt have to be heinously ugly either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
