The vestments glimpsed in this post - a chasuble set - were made from dupion silk in a deep and lovely shade of rose and were fully-lined in a beige-coloured taffeta. The Saint Bede Studio has made similar vestments on several occasions now and the combination of colours has been found very attractive by our customers.
The vestments are ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids; it is called Saint George. Saint George braid has burgundy-coloured roundels, within which is a stylised mediaeval Cross, which is augmented with a central flower. Between the roundels are other devices which form a stylised crown. The braid is outlined with stripes of smaller quatrefoils. The base colour of the braid is a vibrant red; the ornaments are formed from the colour platinum and burgundy is used for contrast.
In the attached images, you may notice how this braid is arranged : the greatest care is taken with all our vestments to ensure that braids are precisely and harmoniously aligned, not cutting away design elements. This very popular orphrey braid we have used on vestments of the liturgical colours white, red, purple, violet, rose and soft gold with great success.
