Both durable and functional, our Baptismal Candidate apparel combines the beauty and drape of the finest gowns and is similar in looks to a choir robe. This robe is made of a white, 60/40 (cotton/polyester) blend with a sturdy, dense poplin-like texture. It has generous pleats that extend around the yoke to give extra fullness. The front is made of double thickness and closes with a 22" rustproof zipper. Though made of a dense material to reduce transparency when wet, it is suggested that light colored clothes be worn under these garments. These garments can be machine washed and tumbled dry.
