In the Season of Advent 2025 : 5

As Advent draws to a close, the Saint Bede Studio is pleased to present this simple violet dalmatic. 

The Saint Bede Studio : vestments made by Catholics for Catholics.


The Saint Bede Studio



Although there are many different shades used for Lenten and Advent vestments (none of which has a claim to being the correct colour), nevertheless, this particular shade of violet is closer to what was used during the mediaeval period and until the beginning of the 20th century.  It is a subdued colour, but not dark, closer to the shade of the flowers violets

Instead of the ubiquitous treatment of gold ornament, these vestments are ornamented with galloons of charcoal and silver and are lined in taffeta of silver-grey. The dalmatics are ornamented in a modified form of the Roman manner.

The vestments of the Saint Bede Studio are beautiful in design, sound in construction and distinctive in appearance.
