The traditional nun's outfit is black, but some orders use different colors. For example, some orders use dark blue, gray, or light blue. Other orders don't use dresses at all, but skirts and blouses instead. This article will focus on the traditional black nun dress, but if you are basing your nun after a different order, you should use those colors instead. A black graduation gown would work especially well, but you can use an actual dress too. Choose one with a simple cut and minimal seams. Ask your friends or neighbors for clothing that you can borrow. You can also find similar dresses in thrift stores. Some nuns pair long skirts and long-sleeved shirts together. Depending on the order, the shirt will either be white or the same color as the skirt. Like the dress, the skirt should be long, and not too tight. Unless your order wears a different color, the skirt should be black.  A turtleneck or a button-up blouse will work, depending on the order. You want something that is between a pencil skirt and an A-line skirt in terms of fullness. Avoid full-circle skirts. Fortunately, nuns wear very simple clothes, so this should be an easy project even for a beginner. Go to a fabric store and find a pattern for a simple long-sleeved dress; Biblical costume patterns may also work. Cotton, linen, or polyester will work the best. Do not use shiny fabric like satin or silk, or fancy fabric like brocade or velvet. The color needs to be solid, without any patterns. Make sure that the fabric is clean; nuns may be simple in their attire, but they are also neat and clean. This goes for both store-bought, assembled, and homemade costumes.

Summary: Research the different types of nun uniforms. Find an ankle-length, loose-fitting black dress with long sleeves. Consider a skirt and blouse ensemble. Sew your own dress if you want a DIY costume. Choose plain, clean fabrics.


Typically you must sign your application and affidavit in the presence of a notary. Make copies of your application and affidavit after you sign them so you have copies for your records and copies to serve on the defendant's employer, since the clerk will keep the originals when you file them. Once you've completed and signed your application you must file it with the clerk for the same court where your judgment was entered.  You must pay a filing fee when you file your application and affidavit, typically under $100. You can add the filing fee to the total amount you'll be collecting from the defendant.  In some jurisdictions, you may be able to file your application and affidavit electronically and avoid a trip to the courthouse. A writ of garnishment tells the defendant's employer that he or she must withhold a certain amount of money from the defendant's paycheck.  Provided all the information in your application and affidavit is complete, the clerk will issue your writ. In some states this form is called a writ of execution, but the effect is the same.  You may have to pay an additional fee for the clerk to issue a writ. You must contact the sheriff's department in the county where the defendant's employer is located to serve the writ and begin the garnishment process.  You typically will have to pay the sheriff's department a small fee up front to serve your writ of garnishment.  In some jurisdictions you also will have a notice form. Typically you don't have to fill out anything on this form, it simply tells the defendant that his or her wages are being garnished and outlines the rights of judgment debtors.  If the defendant objects to the garnishment or believes his wages are exempt, he may file a claim of exemption with the court that issued the writ.  The defendant also can avoid the garnishment by paying the total amount of the judgment directly to the sheriff's department that served the writ.

Summary: Sign your application and affidavit. File your application and affidavit with the clerk of court. Ask the clerk for a writ of garnishment. Have the writ of garnishment served on the defendant's employer.


Bralettes typically aren’t recommended for people with large breasts because they don’t provide a lot of support. A lack of support can become painful if you plan to wear the bralette for more than an hour. Look for a bralette with cups and underwire so you can rock it no matter if you have small, medium, or large breasts. Keep in mind that even a bralette with underwire may not be big enough and provide enough support if you wear a larger cup size—like a D cup and up. Look for a plain cotton bralette in a solid color. This type of bralette is about as simple and comfortable as you can get. Cotton bralettes are great with a T-shirt, a pair of jeans, and sneakers.  Wear a black cotton bralette under a white T-shirt with black denim pants for a day or night look, depending on what accessories you choose. They can also be worn to bed. Lacy bralettes are great for a sexy and feminine look. You can choose a bralette that is trimmed in lace or made almost completely out of lace. This type of bralette would look great under a dress, but it would look just as good under a T-shirt. Put on a lace bralette under a partially unbuttoned button-up shirt with a pair of black pants for a night out. This is a great choice if you want to show off your bralette and style. A patterned bralette should be worn under something that reveals a lot of the bralette or worn as the shirt. Choose a pattern that shows off your personality, whether it be edgy, quirky, or girly.  Wear a low cut shirt with a bralette patterned with dinosaurs or bugs for a cute and quirky look. Put on a lace dress with a bralette patterned with flowers for a lovely, feminine look.
Summary: Look for a bralette with cups if you have bigger breasts. Choose a simple cotton bralette for a casual look. Go for a lacy bralette. Try a bralette with a pattern.
