Lay the chasuble on a field table or other suitable surface with the
front facing down. The following guidelines may be used to distinguish the
front of the chasuble from the back.
(1) The manufacturer’s label is on the inside back collar.
(2) If there are snaps or zippers, they will be on the front left
shoulder.
(3) The back is usually larger than the front.
(4) The neck is lower in the front than in the back.
(5) The design is always more ornate, or decorative, on the back.
Often there are no designs on the front of the chasuble.
Fold the upper piece of material so that the garment looks like the
