I, was also raised that way, long slips, half slips were not decent, hats , if you were invited to a restaurant for lunch you had to wear one, gloves but what I can't forget are what they called ''manchettes'' that could be translated by half- sleeve. If you wore short sleeves, the nuns wold obligate you to wear these, kind of a fabric tube with an elastic at the elbow and another one at the wrist.
