This set is in the style common in the mediaeval period, being quite different in shape from the modern chasuble. With the arms by the sides, the mediaeval chasuble is almost the shape of a bell and often referred to as such, or as the conical chasuble.
The distinctive thing about this form of chasuble - quite different from the modern chasuble - is its drapery. When the arms of the wearer are raised, the chasuble gathers into folds from the bottom upward, not from the centre outward (as with the modern "Gothic" chasuble).

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.
