Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Women’s Tab Collar Clergy Shirt and How is it Worn?

A woman’s tab collar clergy shirt is a modest, button-front shirt tailored especially for female clergy. The defining feature is the small opening at the neckline, where you insert a detachable tab collar, making it easy to adapt to your preferred collar style. You’ll find both short-sleeve and long-sleeve models, such as the Murphy or R.J. Toomey designs. These female clergy shirts are designed to allow for respectful movement during services and maintain a neat appearance, whether tucked in or worn over the waistband.

How Do I Choose the Right Size in Women’s Tab Collar Clergy Shirts?

We offer a range of sizes tailored to each style. For instance, Murphy short- and long-sleeve tab collar shirts are available in sizes 8 through 24. The R.J. Toomey “Women’s Classic” long-sleeve tab collar shirt comes in sizes 6 and 8. On each product page, you'll find a Size Guide above the selection area. Compare it to your measurements for a confident, dignified fit.

Do These Clergy Shirts for Women Come With a Collar Tab Insert?

Yes, our ladies' clergy shirts include a reusable collar tab. The Murphy short and long-sleeve tab collar clergy shirt includes a tab, and the R.J. Toomey design comes with two tab collars for added convenience. We also offer Collars & Collar Buttons for replacement collars and other apparel accessories

What Materials Are Used in These Women’s Clergy Shirts, and Are They Easy Care?

Our options are made for ease and longevity. The Murphy styles are woven from 65% polyester and 35% cotton broadcloth, machine-washable and easy-care, which withstands the wear of daily use. The R.J. Toomey ladies tab collar clergy shirt uses a soft blend of 95% cotton and 5% spandex for gentle stretch and shape retention, also machine washable and dryer-friendly. When traveling, use our travel bags and hangers to ensure your clergy shirts arrive in good shape.

Should I Choose a Long-Sleeve or Short-Sleeve Clergy Shirt for Church Services?

It depends on your usual environment and comfort. A short-sleeve women's clergy shirt, like the Murphy short-sleeve, offers cool wear during warmer seasons or in drafty sanctuaries. On the other hand, a long-sleeve clergy shirt for women, such as Murphy or R.J. Toomey, provides more coverage and looks particularly neat in formal settings or crisp weather.
