This is very slanted towards North America and Australia. Given that the gown originates in Europe, some discussion of its use in European reformed traditions would be useful. For instance, in the Church of Scotland it is normal for the Geneva Gown to be vented sleeveless and worn over a Cassock. Cassock, usually black also comes in blue, and a red cassock signifies a Queen's Chaplain.
