Here is a worthwhile new family business that specializes in making dolls of sisters with habits from specific orders.
While I am partial to the Carmelites as shown above they also currently have Sisters of Life, Holy Spirit Adoration Sister, Apostolic Sister of St. John, and Sister of the Visitation. Personally I would also like to see a doll for the Dominican Sisters of Mary.
Since this is a family business faithful to the magisterium you won’t see nuns dressed in polyester pant suits with sensible shoes.

Give new meaning to “religious orders”…
And the doll looks young! No tightly permed gray hair with an acrylic sweater to offset that pastel polyester pantsuit!
I like the Sister of the Visitation doll the best. I can’t wait to see the entire collection. Keep ’em coming!

The Visitation nun’s habit is not correct. Until final profession, they wear a white veil and forehead piece. At final profession, they wear a black veil AND a black forehead piece. And the veil is much smaller. The white part in front is also smaller and rectangular shaped.
It is always disheartening when I hear people criticising or poking fun at religious who do not wear a traditional habit. I’m sure that God looks at their many years of faithful service and devotion as opposed to the style of their clothing. Although I do remember that there was a sect at the time of Christ, also mentioned in the Gospels, whose members were also very concerned about the miniscule matters of the law… I forget what they were called but they wore large phylacteries, long robes and loved when others called them rabbi. Any time I feel tempted to judge anothers sanctity by their appearance I call to mind these three words that help me through: mint, cumin and dill.
NiceLady, a little harsh don’t you think? Afterall the length of veil is hardly the point. Vocations, vocations, vocations!!!!
Nice. They found dolls not overy made up and they look like they are not for collectors, but are meant to be played with by older girls.
This is awesome! I think I’ll have to buy one of these dolls as a First communion gift for my niece.
I am partial to the Nashville Dominicans!
