ROME (AP) - White cassock? Check. White skullcap? Check. Red shoes? Check.
Cardinals haven't even begun meeting in the Sistine Chapel yet to elect the new pope but the family-owned Gammarelli tailor shop that has dressed popes for two centuries is ready.
Gammarelli's on Monday displayed three sets of white vestments - small, medium and large - to be shipped to the Vatican for the new pope following Benedict XVI's resignation last week.
A white silk "zucchetto," or skullcap, lay on a bed of red cloth in the window, as did a white sash with golden fringes and a pair of red leather shoes.
Gammarelli, tucked behind the Pantheon in downtown Rome, has served scores of cardinals and popes since 1798. Pope Pius XII was an exception: he used his family tailor.
