I have a couple questions about the Benedictine habit. I am working on designing clipart for a Catholic homeschooling quiz bowl app. My boss wants me to create art of the different stages of monastic formation. I want to design the clipart according to traditional Benedictine orders.

Is this correct?

Postulants: Tunic with belt
Novices: Scapular, no hood
Simply Professed: Scapular with hood
Solemnly Professed: Cuculla for high liturgy

Also, when do tonsures happen? What would that look like? Corona or simple shave?

Thanks in advance for your time!
