The lovely and petite Mrs. P submits this very helpful tip for the less-tall among us:
Hi PB- I have a tip for your petite readers about vestment bags. Regular garment bags are too short for vestments, but the vestment bags sold by Almy or other companies are way longer than those of us of brief personage will ever need, and also somewhat awkward to carry.
Instead, I found a garment bag online that is “evening gown length,” 60 inches, which is perfect for transporting the liturgical garments of the Rev’d Shorties among us (since our vestments are head-and ankles-length shorter than we are). I found one on eBags in a lovely Pentecost season green.
grace and peace,
Mrs P
“Rev’d Shorties!” Oh Mrs. P, you are too much.
PB darling, you know I love you and your blog, but murder one more French pronoun and I will have the vapors. It’s “mes,” not “mon.” “Mon” is the singular masculine, “mes” is the gender-inclusive plural, and you KNOW we are a gender-inclusive plural lot, we devoted readers of yours.
Kissy kissy from your French-speaking Southern grammarian!
ebags.com rocks, by the way. I bought my computer backpack there and they currently have a nice sale on handbags. Not that I can afford them, but a girl can lust.
oh Car, get over it already. It’s like correcting Miss Piggy. I’ve studied French. I’m not even TRYING to get it right, get it? Let it go. [Ooops – this came out snottier than I intended! I was trying to sound like a 1940’s dame. Sorry, Car! – Aug 15, 2007]
I bought a Bridal bag at Container Store & had my name embroidered on it – works great for vestments when I need to travel with them and it holds several hangars’ worth. So much easier now that Madame has made us all go Capeless!!
I have the same green bag. I end up having to scrunch up the last few inches of my robe at the bottom to get it to fit. My only real issue with it is that you can’t really secure it “in half” to check it through while flying.
