Quite true! When my grandmother had an audience with John XXIII she was quite upset that she had to wear a black mantilla instead of the beautiful white one she had planned to wear. BTW, I have that white mantilla, my mom gave it to me to wear at my wedding. Does anybody know the best way to store it until my daughter gets married? she's only 15 and very much dedicated to her studies, so I hope it will be quite a while.

I would recommend acid-free tissue paper and an archival storage box.
Actually Former, it's probably a good thing she wore her black one.
Do you know why of all the women at the mass, only Queen Sophia and the Grand Duchess of Lux. are wearing white?
At an audience with the pope, white is reserved for Catholic women of royal blood.
