Keys to Purchasing Choir Robes
There are several considerations to make when purchasing choir robes for your congregation. While the cut and style are ample for most body shapes, height is also a factor. Be sure to collect that information before hand and convey your needs when ordering. Height is also something you should consider when storing the garments. If your hanging rod is too low you will dirty the hems of longer robes and also shorten it’s life. Regarding the lifespan of the choir robes, you can expect with better quality fabric 6-8 years of use, while fabric with the designation ‘high quality’ may last as long as 15 years. Dye lots change enough that you may want to purchase a few extra robes in anticipation of your congregations expansion. And always remember to have all the robes cleaned at the same time so they fade evenly.
