The vestments glimpsed in this post - chasuble and dalmatic sets - were made from dupion silk in a deep and lovely shade of purple and were fully-lined in a crimson red 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 Austin. A matching galloon is also depicted, which trims and highlights the edges. These braids are directly based on some designs of AWN Pugin which have been preserved on some of his surviving vestments.
In the attached images, you can see how the wider braid employs diaper-work in colours of red, blue and straw-gold in a continuous pattern. The colours are vibrant and typically mediaeval.
