Oops,sorry.
Tradie means something else where I am.
Still,what sort of costume would a traditional Catholic wear in the first place?
Its certainly a “niche interest”.
 
You have to look the part to fit it, at Latin Mass. You can’t wear ties like this one, you got to go for something traditional. Between not have the proper attire, and having to cross a bridge,to get there, I’ll probably never make it to Latin Mass here in Pittsburgh

She was also apparently maneuvered into that location by the press.

They knew exactly what they were doing, and always did with her.
 
There’s a little booklet called The Chapel Veil published by Requiem Press. Two young ladies wrote it. Anyone who is against women wearing veils in church should read this booklet. It’s fantastic. I’d give it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
 
Hello to the other side of the Commonwealth! 😉 You’re in Pittsburgh? Go to Aliquippa. They consecrated the city to the Sacred Heart of Jesus & the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

Show up for Mass in the racerback tank with bra straps showing that sat in front of me a couple of weeks ago and yep, Imma judge ya…and I’ll answer for it later with no issue.

when your underwear is showing sticking out from your clothes, there are two possibilities:
  1. You are a naval officer in dress khakis, or
  2. you look trashy and/or tacky.
(and I’m not sure the uniform in 1) is still in use . . .)

Since I attend business meetings with clients in jeans and a nice top, I feel appropriate wearing the same clothing to Mass.

When I was teaching college, I tended to attend Mass dressed the same way as I taught, in a sports coat and a western tie.

Practicing law here, though, it feels like I’m showing up in work clothes if I show up in a suit, french cuffs, and an eastern tie . . . it would also stick out in my parish and call attention to itself. (I pull them out on Christmas & Easter, though).

Maybe it’s because I loved teaching, and only resumed the practice of law to pay tuition . . .

These days, it’s usually a collared KofC shirt and a good pair of black jeans–neither of which are visible under my sticharion, anyway. I used to wear dockers-type pants until they wore out (although I think there are a couple in my closet again).

Then again, a few weeks ago, I found myself in a t-shirt (a Dads Against Daughters Dating type 😱) when we wee away for the weekend and I left the collared shirt behind. Then again, it didn’t stand out at all when attending Mass in a casino showroom! 😜🤣:roll_eyes:)

😱

Did she mistake your mother for a man???

The notion that women should follow the mail norm of uncovering is insulting both!

I mean no disrespect,but sometimes I wonder though, because (with some exceptions) it predominantly American women who are so passionate about the topic,is the internal subconscious motive always due to purely personal devotion/submission to God or is is partly also due the “romanticisation factor” of it-ie:veils can look/feel feminine and pretty and make a woman feel that way?

Subconscious motive? What difference does it make why they want to do it? There is nothing wrong with it. They do not need an excuse and they do not need to have their motives analyzed. If they voice a reason that is wrong, then they invite a discussion. If they come into church wearing attire that has nothing wrong with it and do not invite a discussion, it doesn’t hurt anyone to leave them alone about it.

Of course I’m not for a moment suggesting someone say something negative directly to the person.
That would be very wrong and hurtful but isn’t general public discussion a good thing?
I don’t see anything wrong with generally discussing “motives” in a broad sense.
For example,to use an analogy,some countries in Europe have had public discussions about Burka wearing and burka bans in public.
Some people might see this as suppressing religious freedom,and maybe they are right in a way,but at the same time I see it as fine and a good thing to have public discussions about the reasons why some women might choose such a strict/fundamentalist interpretation of their religion.

Okay, so the girls in the photo are wearing veils. Other than that, what is so remarkable about what they are wearing? That’s basically what my daughters wear to church. It’s almost impossible to find dresses with sleeves right now, so they wear dresses with a cardigan / shrug over it. How is that a “traddie costume”? What is it that you consider so silly?

Advertising that you are looking for a husband was deemed improper in church, so the custom of veiling became common

It depends. At least in the central europe churches in the late mediavel to early modern time, exactly this happened. No one would go flirty there of course, but presenting new brides to be was common. In some regions, unmarried girls had their own place in church and their dress was, even when the head was covered, clearly a maiden´s dress.

I don’t mean to answer for Andrew,but I think what he meant was silly was not the fact that she (sons friend) dressed like this but rather that she only wore it just as “cosplay”.
A bit like if someone was just dressing up as a nun costume just for fun.

I haven’t actually seen anyone who’s ‘against ‘ women wearing head covering if they choose. As long as people don’t suggest that it is somehow more reverent, modest or devout to do so.

Or suggesting that women “should” wear a head covering and that it’s really just an ignored part of Church teaching, rather than a rule that was abrogated and is no longer part of Catholic law.

Why on earth is it “strict/fundamentalist” to cover one’s head?
