These aren't truly absolutely historical, but give the expected look
for a church pageant:
Both Simplicity and McCalls have biblical patterns - McCalls is
easier, as it is all rectangles (or almost rectangles) - no set in
sleeves. It does have a dropped shoulder, so the fit is a bit baggier.

Simplicity has two - a dropped shoulder pattern (which I haven't
used) and a set-in sleeve pattern (which is still easy). They are:
http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=4213 (dropped shoulder)
http://www.simplicity.com/dv1_v4.cfm?design=4795 (set in sleeve)
They all include wraps, cloaks, extra collar/pectoral pieces,
etc. To get Caiaphas mostly depends on fabric choice and
trimming. Caiaphas should have a breastplate (large square pendant
on chain) with 12 stones on it, as he was the high priest. He also
should have a beard.
Hope this helps -

Dear List,
My husband will be playing Caiaphus in our church's Maundy Thursday
pageant.? Where can I go for costume information beyond the "draped
in a bedsheet" variety?
Thanks.
