Twice a year, the Church breaks the tone of its penitential seasons by the use of rose-coloured vestments. Rose-coloured vestments were never commonplace and they still are not. Many different colours have been deemed by the Church as acceptable as liturgical rose. Some of these are a salmon shade; some a silvery-pink, almost mushroom-colour; some close to what we would call Bishop's purple or fuchsia; and some red with overtones of gold.
The vestments were made from dupion silk in a quite lovely shade of rose and fully lined in a taup-coloured taffeta. The vestments were ornamented with a braid from the range of the Studio's unique offerings, called
Saint Dunstan. The braid is in colours of platinum, violet and white upon a crimson background.
