While the story is true, or as true as Hollywood ever is with a true story, the habits are fictional in that they are not meant to represent the real-life habit of any particular real-life religious order.

I don’t think the habits are fictional in the movie.Maria Trapp I think was in the Benedictine Monastery.I have seen old photos of Benedictine nuns wearing the pleated wimple, like in the movie, but I have forgotten where I saw these photos.
Also, in the recent movie with Phillip Seymour Hoffman were he plays a priest and Meryl Streep as a nun, the habit is that of the Sisters of Charity, the ones founded by St.Elizabeth Ann Seton. And the habit was correct in the movie.

Since the Sound of Music was autobiographical, I think they tried to be correct in what the sisters wore. Maria von Trapp was alive and well at the time, as was the rest of the family, if they saw any of the filming of the picture, before it was released, i’m sure she would have made comments to the director and producer about the sisters habit if it was correct or not.

They were nowhere near correct in details such as how long it takes to get from the Unterberg (the mountain at the beginning) to the convent Maria was in. Nor about the timing of her meeting and marrying Captain von Trapp vs the Nazi occupation of Germany - they’d already been married 10 years before the Nazis came into Austria in 1938!

Nor about how they escaped - certainly no mid-concert flight resulting in dramatic hunt by the Nazis!

In short, there’s no reason they would try to be accurate about the habits either.

My view is being changed. 🙂 I’m spending time with the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Renewal this week, and I’m becoming drawn into their lifestyle (so much so, that I am going to be in contact with their VD very soon 🙂 ). Their habits, for both their Sisters and the Friars are so austere and beautiful!

Nope. 😦 I discerned mutually with the Sisters that it wasn’t my calling. I will hold them forever in my heart, and their Mother Foundress is a dear spiritual friend of mine. I really do miss the Sisters, but I know in my heart that God is calling me elsewhere, and it’s all I can do not to think of the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal. 🙂

If I were a guy, I would join the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal immediately, with no reservation! But, since that isn’t going to happen, I have to settle for the next best thing, which is the beautiful order of Sisters! 😃
 
I am going back to my first love–the Carmelites. Although the Franciscans of the Renewal are attractive, I’m 100% that I am going to be a Carmelite nun. I’m looking at two different cloistered communities, but I think I already know which one I’m being led to. I’m taking it very slow and writing Mother Prioress while saving up what little money I have to make a trip in person. 😉
 
I’m just going to start by saying that the habit had no part in my discernment, I always tried to look at what an order does as opposed to what they wear, that said I don’t think it’s coincidence that all the orders I pursued wear the traditional habit.

The most beautiful one to me is the one that, God willing, I will receive in two years from now. That is the Dominican habit, I am getting my application papers to the Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist in November and am hoping to join next August.

For the rest of them it’s a three way tie because they are all equally beautiful.
The Franciscan Sisters of Penance of the Sorrowful Mother.
The Sisters of Life.
The Missionaries of Charity.

The Franciscan habit is very smiler to the picture that was posted here, but the veil is just a little bit different.

What I particularly like about the sisters of Life, besides the blue, is that the fully professed sisters keep the white veil. I just love that symbolism.

I don’t really know why I like the Missionaries of Charity’s habit so much, I think just because it’s different, but just as recognizable. I also really like the blue and white of both the Sisters of Life and the Missionaries of Charity.

I do love the Dominican habits (Sister for Life and Nashville) though I don’t think I’m being called to the Dominicans. I don’t particularly care for the habits of the orders I’m discerning, but I do love the Sisters who wear them!😃

I guess the habit will grow on me;)

Peace,
Teri
 
:tiphat: Of the habits I have seen over the years in person, it would be the following:
  1. The Congregation of St.Brigid in San Antonio.They taught me the faith at St.Paul’s in San Antonio, and they were the reason I think I wanted to be a nun.
    2.School Sisters of Notre Dame, the original habit.My great aunt,Sister Mary Generose
    belonged to them,and is buried in their cemetery in Elm Grove,Wisconsin
    3.Sisters of Charity of Nazerath,Ky. My second cousin Carlene belonged to them
    in Little Rock,Ark.until she too passed away
  2. The Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart,who I saw at a vocation day up in Alaska, when my dad was stationed at Elmendorf,AFB.
    5.The Daughters of Charity of St.Vincent De Paul.I have I guess always been fascinated by their coronet.
    All habits are beautiful in their own way.I love some of the colorful ones that you see sometimes.

I L:heart:VE the Daughters of Charity one!! Is that what St. Catherine Laboure was? My sisters and I were always very fascinated by her habit:p
 
Well, first of all, i have to say that i absolutley LOVE the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewals’ habit. It’s so beautifully simple and unassuming (well, i’ve yet to see a habit that isn’t unassuming but idk…it especially stirikes me in the theirs.)

I also think the Benedictines’ habit is very beautiful…

One of my favourite videos on YouTube:
youtube.com/watch?v=f-jkRR5rf90&feature=related

There’s a Sister at 0.53, and at 1.38, who is wearing a beautiful habit (I don’t know which Congregation she belongs to - if anyone recognises her habit, I’d be interested to know).

It’s a Sister from the Community of St. John. 🙂 I went to their website and found information about the same program on the YouTube video.

communityofstjohn.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=87&Itemid=37

The Sister wearing the long veil is a professed Sister. They are seen wearing long white veils in chapel. The younger sister next to her I believe is a novitiate Sister. 🙂

Here’s a video of an investiture ceremony:
