I would like a silk blend of the purple, red piping, grosgrain ribbon lining the bottom, silk thread spun buttons. The only thing else I need would be the silk fascia. If silk is an option, how much could I be looking to spend at Gammarelli?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04816725754461206007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321606.post-65092038868578252972008-08-14T12:27:00.000-07:002008-08-14T12:27:00.000-07:00If I would like to have a choir cassock made for b...If I would like to have a choir cassock made for bishop, (abito paonozza)what fabric options are available to me? I would like a silk/wool blend, with red piping, grosgrain lined bottom, silk-thread spun buttons. If I don't want a zipper, will they honor this and other requests?
