A yard of white cloth cut down one side for about ten inches, and then a circle cut out of the center, makes the white _guimpe_ for the NUN, the curved part being put under the chin and the two cut ends fastened on top of the head. A second piece of white cloth is bound across the forehead for a _bandeau_. Two yards of black material make the veil which falls on either side of the face and down the back.
