Interchangeable Vestment (Base for White/Green/Purple)
This is my attempt to make a vestment from scratch. I intentionally left it unfinished. The front collar is elastic, and only sewn on the sides. The front lace is only sewn on the sides at the top, so that a colored strip of fabric can be put under it. This lace was so nice, I didn't need any lace around the hand-holes!
Resourcefulness...
I found a doily to use for a cape. It drapes over the unfinished edges of the vestment and back collar. Colored fabric can be put underneath it. or left white. I put it in place with a pin on each side of the bottom/front of the cape, and then drape it over the statue's head. There is often extra cape in the back, so I sometimes tuck some underneath the statue.
This vestment style is the same as the Original Red, and the Blue, see those posts for more details. This is also nice because I did not have to mess with a lot of lace and figuring which way to sew it.
