Reminds me of a nun's habit, and she doesn't have to waste time fixing her hair...now that is somewhat liberating..When I was a teen, we all wore babushka’s....Needed a head covering to enter a Catholic church...I saw women pinning a tissue on their heads for a quick prayer in church...Life sure gets interesting...

"Reminds me of a nun's habit,..."

Great minds surely do think alike! I mentioned that very thing to my husband tonight. We are both products of Catholic school and so are familiar with various habits that the sisters wear/wore. You know depending on the style, those habits could be rather flattering to even those who might, in the lay world, be considered homely. Since you mention head coverings, I bet that you remember the lace chapel caps that were rather common before the covering of the head rule was done away with. I think that they were most popular in the 60s. Ah, memories. :)
