Subject: Choir Robes
Date: December 18, 2003
Prices are going up for choir and deacon robes. As mentioned in the last Choir Assembly, the increase is unavoidable due to the rising costs of materials and the fees of the seamstress. However, Choirs may order robes at the current prices until December 31, 2003, with the understanding that the merchandise will be delivered after February 1, 2004.
The prices through December 31, 2003, are as follows:
Adult Choir (or Deacon's) Robe: $145 each
Junior Choir Robe: $100 each
Deacon's Stole (regular): $75 each
Deacon's Stole (wraparound style): $100 each
Prices for orders received after January 1, 2004:
Adult Choir (or Deacon's) Robe: $165 each
Junior Choir Robe: $125 each
Deacon's Stole (regular): $100 each
Deacon's Stole (wraparound style): $125 each
The robes come in small, medium, large and extra large sizes. For alternations to hem or sleeve lengths only, please indicate the number of inches, and be advised that there will be an additional charge of $10 per robe for such alterations. Adult Choir robes have a light beige body and a burgundy yoke. Deacon's robes have the same color body with a royal blue yoke. Stoles are made to match. Junior Choir robes are made in one color, light beige. Should a choir request Junior Choir robes to be of the same color combination as Adult robes, the charge will be that it is an Adult robe.
The Central Council also has new lace veils available for immediate delivery in any quanity. They are on the "Chapel Cap" style, with the veil flowing to the shoulders. The cost is $15 per veil.
Shipping charges will be added to each order. Please send your orders or questions (such as for the specific procedure for laundering or cleaning of the robes) to:
