A nun's dress is called a habit. This is the same name as in a costume. Any store that stocks them can give you more information. Or, a visit to your local church can give you ideas.

How can you detect a nun?

The habit- or religious costume or uniform. Different orders have different styles. Just recently I saw the wake of a Nun ( sister of charity) and she was arranged in a civilian coat-dress with short sleeves- similar to the costume of a restaurant employee or maybe a cleaning woman. Normally, they are attired- and are buried- in the Habit. Sister Mercedes- while in Civil clothes did have a religious medallion on one of her collars, and also had both a rosary and the final vows- indeed the hallmark of a devoted sister.

Honor Sisters of Faith in a Nun Costume?

Increasingly these days, nuns do not dress in the traditional garb, instead wearing ordinary clothing so that those who interact with them will not know that they are nuns unless they choose to identify themselves as such. This makes them less set apart from the rest of the world and allows them to mingle more freely. However, if you are going to dress as a nun for Halloween, if you try to capture this modern spirit, you will most likely just end up looking like a regular person and no one will guess what your costume is. Hence, it's best to go with the traditional look for Halloween. Nuns has sometimes been referred to as "penguins" because, like those flightless birds, a nun's outfit usually consists of black and white. Typically, a nun's garb will include a long black robe, a white wimple that goes over the head and around the collar, and a black veil that is draped over the top of that. Hence, the outfit is mostly black, but there is just enough white to make an impression. Getting ahold of one of these robes should not be difficult, and if you can't find one, you can make one easily. The wimple will be the hardest part of the costume, but you can make that as well. You might also check to see about buying one from a Catholic store, though this will probably be expensive. Another option is to look for a nun costume at a Halloween shop. These can often be found, though they frequently incorporate some type of distasteful props and may be tailored to look revealing. If you are hoping to wear a nun costume in a reverent light, you might do better to stay away from these ready-made costumes. Nuns have done a great deal for the world, and honoring them with a Halloween costume is a nice gesture as long as it is done out of a spirit of respect. Who knows? Because nuns are revered by so many, you may even find yourself getting extra helpings of candy when you go door to door. Dress as a nun and have a wholly holy and fun time on Halloween.
