Nun’s Habits, Clergy Apparel... Duplicate & Alter

SewNeau makes nun’s habits for the Sisters of Notre Dame (SND) (black) and for the Oblate Sisters of the Sacred Heart (white). Each sister from both orders provided an existing habit for use as a pattern for the duplicates we made.


Nun’s habits are made to order, one at a time. After the first nun’s habit is made and correct fit is confirmed, the sister may order additional habits for herself at any time simply by contacting us.
Nun’s habits provided to SewNeau for use as a pattern will be disassembled by us. It is critically important SewNeau do this (not the customer) so that the proper order of assembly is known when the duplicate habit is made. The original habit can be reassembled upon request.
Newly Formed Religious Community?
Newly formed religious orders inquiring about nun’s habits will need to provide SewNeau a sewing pattern or existing garment (for use as a pattern) for each individual seeking this service.
In all cases the fabric and notions must also be provided when the order is placed. If yardage and or notions requirements are unknown, SewNeau can help determine them.
Blurred Faces? The sisters modeling their habits graciously granted SewNeau the privilege to show them on SewNeau.com. In exchange they requested their identities not be revealed.
