I was asked to stiffen up this chasuble and complete the set. The chasuble was limp, and on the back, the cross was drooping and pulling the whole thing out of whack. The shoulders had stretched as well, and there was no trim on the outside at all.
I found fabric that was very close to the chasuble's- that particular shade of gold (very orange) was difficult to find combined with the pattern. The fabric ultimately came from Russia.
The trim helped give the chasuble a finished look and would make it easier to tie the rest of the set together.
I opened up the chasuble and inserted a canvas type material, then re-hand-stitched the lining closed.
I'm trying to get another picture loaded- but my talent lay more with creative items and less with technological.
