Devorah has new veil and mantilla styles!

[Della]

I can see how a chapel cap might look and feel better for you then, given that description.

Actually, I personally like the idea (that drives some people batty) of a woman’s hair being her crowning glory, and covering it for benefit of men, God, and the Angels. But then again I can be a little batty that way. And don’t anyone try to “re-educate” me, or tell me I’m wrong, or mislead, or anything else. This is my personal devotion.

But yes - I know what you mean, some out there would absolutely take that the wrong way and twist it all out of proportion. Covering one’s hair is not the point, and you are right. I just personally feel more comfortable if I have a longer veil that does cover most of my hair.

And that’s the very definition of a devotion, isn’t it? :yup: If it spiritually benefits you, and so others, then it’s a good thing.

As I read your post, I can hear you lovely Scottish accent coming through … how fun!

That does seem strange…shall I airmail you a mantilla dear?

I want to visit Scotland so bad!!!

I hate to ruin your fun, but I have a midwestern/southern accent… I’m an American expat.

I think I’ll be alright with the black scarf, but thanks for the offer!

aaahhhhh, man!

I heard it…I heard your scottish accent in this sentence…

I have to say, though, that finding a plain black scarf is surprisngly hard.

A Southern accent…hum? really? Bet ya can’t beat mine with a stick!

This is the one I just purchased: Black Satin Stitch Buchari Style Kippah. Now that is not your ordinary chapel cap or doily, is it?

Yes. That’s why I bought it. I wanted something that looked more like a hat without being too fuddy-duddy. I like plain, simple lines in clothing (and in my head wear) because of my shape and size.

I like that it has some shape to it - besides might stay on my fine, short hair better.

Please do not take my question the wrong way as I have never attended a more Traditional Mass, but what IS the purpose of a Mantilla? If its to portray Modesty then the Devorah mantillas are Way off the mark for they are the most beautiful lace work I have ever seen and would draw my attention to them.

I am taking notes on the styles though, as I am getting Married this May (only 2 months now ) and a few of the mantillas would match my Victorian Wedding Dress.

As a side to this whole mantilla topic, we have two ladies in my parish who wear mantilla’s and they, for lack of a better why of phrasing it, “Stick out like a sore thumb”. Because they are “different”, everyone notices them. Which leads to my original question, What is the purpose of a Mantilla?
