Festal Vestments in the Borromeon Form

During this Christmas Season, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present a set of Borromeon vestments and a mitre completed for an esteemed customer, an Australian bishop. 

In a previous post, we presented the mitre made for this set.  We turn our attention to the chasuble set.

The principal fabric of these vestments was formed from a lovely silk brocade in the colours of ivory and muted gold. The lining was formed from silk taffeta in a rich shade of crimson red.  

These vestments, in the Borromeon form, were ornamented in the Italian manner with a simple column at the back and a TAU at the front. The column orphreys made by the Studio to ornament our chasubles are constructed to careful measurements so that they are proportionate to the wearer and not exaggerated.  

A rich silk damask in colours of old gold upon burgundy forms the ornament of these vestments.  One of the Studio's unique braids, also in colours in burgundy and picked out in gold, outlines these damask columns and is run around the chasuble neckline.  As with most of our chasubles, the perimeter is trimmed with a matching narrow galloon.
