Cotta, Ephod, Rochet, Sark, Serk, Vakass There is no such thing as a modern Jewish surplice. Jewish religious authorities do not have special garments that they wear and that regular congregants do not wear.
Roman Catholic AnswerA surplice (may or may not have lace) is what a priest would wear over a cassock. A bishop, abbot, or other prelate may wear a rochet, a white, lace trimmed over-tunic. The surplice is a liturgical garment, the rochet is not.
I'm sorry sir, plus size surplices are on the second floor.
Ephod
That depends on what they're doing. A priest normally wears a cassock or a black suit with clerical collar for his street wear. In church he would normally wear a cassock and a surplice. For some liturgical functions, he wears a stole and cope, for others, just a stole over his cassock and surplice. For Mass, he wears an alb over his cassock, with a stole, maniple, and cincture. Over all of that, he puts on a chasuble. His stole, maniple (if he is wearing one) and chasuble are all the color of the day, or sacrament that he is celebrating.
A surplice is a diagonally crossed neckline or bodice.As such it is a thing which does not have an "antonym" (opposite).Perhaps a miniskirt? or a thong? or a nihab? or a pair of shoes? or an elephant? or a super nova? or a dream?

Some wear a black or red robe called a cassock that goes from neck to toe; over that is a white garment from neck to waist called a surplice. Others now wear a white robe called an alb that goes from neck to toe; over that is a rope called a cincture tied around waist on the right side; then a wooden cross over the neck.
From a short look in a clothing glossary it appears to be called a "cotta"
