The Studio has made many such chasubles, based upon careful study of illustrations of mediaeval chasubles and examination of modern reproductions. Through trial and error, the Studio has developed a form of conical chasuble which is comfortable to wear, although the wearer certainly benefits from the assistance of a minister to adjust the chasuble.
This set is made from an ecclesiastical brocade. The ornament is formed from a reproduction of a mediaeval braid, in colours of crimson, straw-yellow and white upon a dark background.

In this post is depicted an elegant festal dalmatic made by the Studio for an Australian customer to match a set of Low Mass vestments.
The dalmatic is made from ecclesiastical brocade and fully lined in a rich golden taffeta. In this instance, the choice was made to ornament the dalmatic with a Gothic Revival orphrey braid in colours of red and gold.
The vestments were made from ecclesiastical brocade in a brighter shade of purple. Lined in a shade of crimson-red taffeta, the vestments were ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids. This geometric braid named Saint Austin we have used with great success in all the liturgical colours. It is directly based on a design by AWN Pugin.

We should describe this braid, for those who have not followed previous posts closely. It employs two shades of blue, one a sky blue, the other Royal Blue and upon these two colours, the ornamental design is figured in (non-metallic) gold.
Within a Royal blue quatrefoil (four-leafed flower) is a stylised monogram being the letters MR. This is the Latin abbreviation of Maria Regina (Mary the Queen). It was very typical in the Mediaeval period for such monograms to appear as decorative schemes in churches and upon vestments.
Running along either side of this orphrey is a row of smaller quatrefoils in gold, upon the Royal Blue base.
Although not directly-based on the work of the Gothic designer AWN Pugin, this Ave Maris Stella braid incorporates Puginesque elements. No matter whether you shop for your vestments in Poland, India, England or America, you will not find another braid like Ave Maris Stella. It is just one of the Saint Bede Studio's unique braids, designed by the writer of this blog and made exclusively for the Studio's use.

In this post, we review a set of vestments in the Saint Bede Studio's Saint Anselm style.
This style of chasuble, which we have been making for several years now, is simple and comfortable to wear. Although the chasuble is unlined, it is made from substantial, not flimsy material, so that it hangs down well. Around the neckline, on the underside of the chasuble is a facing, which causes the vestments to sit well on the shoulders.
Concerning the appearance of this vestment, it is intended to be a mixture of the contemporary and the traditional. It is a long chasuble and reaching near to the wrists. It is ornamented simply. The colour of the ornament varies, but consists of two columns made from silk with a selection of the Studio's unique braids.
In the case of this chasuble, the Studio's braid Saint George is laid upon pendants of vibrant red silk dupion. These pendants are attached to the front and to the back of chasuble.
Each of these simpler chasubles is supplied with a fully-lined stole. They are available in all the liturgical colours.
