What kind of clothes did nuns wear?

Answer 1

Nuns wore the same undergarment as all other women - a full-length linen shift or chemise with a round neck, long sleeves and a hem reaching the ankles. This was the only underwear.

Covering the hair, sides of the face and chin was the linen bindae or wimple; the hair was cut extremely short beneath.

The habit was just the same as that worn by monks and the colour indicated the Order: black wool for Benedicines and natural off-white wool for Cistercians. Over this a scapular of the same material was worn for manual work, to keep the habit clean.

Over the wimple a white wool veil was worn by novices, Benedictine nuns changing to a black veil when they took their final vows.

Shoes were worn on the feet and a simple belt might be tied around the habit, under the scapular. Cloaks and fur-lined garments would be added in the depths of winter.
