For many years I admired this custom. I would like to purchase one of these sets but have no idea how. I live relatively out of town.
Would anyone have any ideas how I could do this?

Thank you

Maybe buy a white scarf and white apron. You can probably get pretty aprons were you live. If you can't find one do you know how to sow? If yes go to a sowing store and buy pretty lace to put on the apron.

Don't know exactly what you're looking for, but Etsy has a lot of pretty white tichels =

Also, this blog post has a couple of suggestions = https://wrapunzelblog.com/2015.....n-in/

If you're handy, someone on Etsy also sells tichel patterns = https://www.etsy.com/listing/2.....ive_8

I suspect this isn't quite what you are looking for, but Zazzle has some aprons for Shabbos. Some are cutesy designs, others are pretty.

Can you describe the type of apron you have in mind?

This is not my custom, but I have seen it at the home of friends (they are Satmar). Married women wear a beautiful white apron and tichel on Friday night, not just for candle-lighting but for the meal. The tichel is a kerchief-type worn over sheitel (did not cover sheitel fully). Both the tichel and the apron are lace or a another fine fabric, and white. If I remember correctly, some women who had the custom of a shpitzel wore a white one instead of the kerchief-on-sheitel combo.

I agree it is a beautiful and very eidel custom. Perhaps someone who has this minhag themselves will add on with details or info on its origin. I may not be doing justice to it.

OP, you may want to speak with someone in that community first to ask how they would feel about others (for whom it is not their minhag) adopting it. There have been some previous threads about people adopting a double covering when they are not chassidish and/or it is not the custom in their community. I know there were various thoughts about this. Sometimes we appreciate or admire things, yet don't recognize when we are appropriating.

bump I really want to know where I can purshase a real white tichel, not a israeli mipachat but just as the chassidishe ladies have. I can't go to BP or so because I'm in the EU (not the UK)
