Making a Vergers Gown




 The hardest part of this was getting the pattern and getting the pattern right. It is hard enough truing to get a pattern, but of course no one does a pattern, so my wife after me spending lots of money on her going to tailoring classes, managed to create a set of patterns to make up the vergers gown that goes over the cassock.
Each Gown that is made has to be modified to fit the customer. Once this is done the real hard work starts of cutting out the material, making up the parts and getting them to fit. A typical  can take several weeks to complete as Ros also works full time.
The fished article is the same as a bought one, except that it has been fitted several times and fits the wearer like a glove.
