To Jesus Through Mary Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 (edited) [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1342954877' post='2457863'] Well, I did a LOT of searching and you are right! The long grey skirts that aren't made of jersey material are very difficult to find, but I finally managed to find a great website called The Skirt Outlet. They have about 4 or 5 skirts that are great for the SSVMs. This are the ones I'm linking to on the list: [url="http://theskirtoutlet.com/pinstripe-light-gray-long-dressy-skirt.html"]Pinstripe Light Gray Long Dressy Skirt[/url] [url="http://theskirtoutlet.com/cologrsk.html"]Comfort Long Gray Skirt[/url] I was so syked to find these because it took me about a day to research. I was coming up with all sorts of jersey like skirts. [/quote] Cute!! And WTG! And I really like that website. I think I might order something from there.

OnlySunshine Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 [quote name='To Jesus Through Mary' timestamp='1342893648' post='2457590'] Nun shoes, you don't get much better the SAS (I can't believe those words are coming out of my mouth) but the order I was in we moved a lot- I mean a LOT. So good support, comfortable, long lasting, and durable. Granny shoes for sure, but they are great. The skirt couldn't be like a t-shirt, like most of the maxis are. But it didn't need to be button up. When I entered they ended up just giving me a skirt a previous sister had used... dang I miss it. [/quote] And I agree with you about SAS shoes. They rock! My grandmother introduced me to them because she is a nurse and then my other grandmother started wearing them and always commented on how comfortable they were. I was tired of not finding any comfortable shoes so my non-nurse grandmother (on my dad's side) took me to the SAS store in town and I got these: [url="http://www.sasshoes.com/main/view_styles.php?catid=2&prodid=52"]SAS Free Time in White[/url] They lasted such a long time and all I had to replace were the inner soles because I wore them so much. Now, I wear Easy Spirits because the SAS store is all the way on the other side of town and is not easy to get to because of traffic. I miss the outlet store they had here.[quote name='To Jesus Through Mary' timestamp='1342955170' post='2457865'] Cute!! And WTG! And I really like that website.

In the U.S., at least, this kind of tie is worn most often as part of a school uniform, and should be available over the Internet. However, I know you are not in the U.S., so the Internet may or may not be the best option for you. I don't think you should be embarassed AT ALL to ask the Sisters for suggestions about where you can get the tie. The Sisters may actually have a supply of ties from former postulants, as the tie is probably something that doesn't wear out quickly. Good luck!

Pia Jesu Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 What great news, Carla! My prayers are with you! :nun1: For anyone else needing last minute, hard-to-find items (ie: trunk-style "snuggies," long-sleeve cotton nightgowns, blouses with Peter Pan collars, etc.) try http://www.vermontcountrystore.com It was recommended by a friend entering a Visitation Monastery. She was even able to purchase her black jumpers from the company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swami Mommy Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I may be the only one thinking this, but I should think that any order that requires a postulant 'uniform' should have a specific list of product sites that they could give to entering postulants that would create a more consistent look for their postulants. If an order wants a postulant to wear a long gray skirt, for example, then why doesn't it offer three different style suggestions from commercial manufacturers or from a uniform company to select from? Or as an alternative, come up with three different patterns from a sewing company that the girls could use to sew their own or have a seamstress make for them? If Catholic schools or prep schools can get school uniforms, then why aren't religious orders using these manufacturers as well? Obviously underwear is individual, but what about shoes, blouses, coats, purses, etc? If a professed sister or nun wears a standard habit, then why aren't the postulants' outfits also standardized? If an order allows individualized clothing but requires a certain modest appearance with clothes that are not in current fashion, then it would behoove the order to give a selection of examples to choose from. Just my two cents with a dash of frustration and annoyance for those who have to second guess and hunt for non-mainstream items of clothing. You have my sympathy!
