For the Season "Per Annum" 2015

The vestments shewn in the adjacent photograph were prepared for a newly-ordained priest in the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart, Germany.

This chasuble, in the Saint Bede Studio's Saint Austin design, is made from an English ecclesiastical brocade and is lined in taffeta. The vestments are ornamented with an orphrey braid of the Studio's own design in colours of green and gold upon red. The braid is directly based on a design by AWN Pugin.

Borromeon Vestments

Before the close of the year, the Saint Bede Studio completed a set of vestments made in the Borromeon form for a newly-ordained priest in the USA. The chasuble (shewn adjacent) was made from a beautiful silk damask in crimson red and was ornamented with a damask in the colours of burgundy, red and gold, outlined with rich galloon, in the Roman style. The vestments were lined in bronze-coloured taffeta.

Vestments in the "Saint Philip Neri" style

Recently, the Saint Bede Studio completed the vestments shewn in the adjacent photograph for a religious house. These vestments are in the Saint Philip Neri style.

A simple and lightweight ivory brocade was used, ornamented with braid in red and gold, forming the Roman TAU ornament on the front of the chasuble and a simple column on the back. The vestments were lined in gold taffeta.

Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God

To all readers of this Blog and friends of the Saint Bede Studio, a New Year's Greeting on this Feast of the Blessed Virgin.

For today's post, we are pleased to describe this Marian chasuble made for a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney and called Ave Maris Stella. The decorative focus of this vestment is an orphrey braid which is based on the work of AWN Pugin.

This braid is produced in two shades of blue (lighter and darker) with figured ornament in gold. This braid was designed by the Studio and is only available through it. The braid can be used on fabrics either brighter white in colour, or ivory and can also be used to decorate dalmatics and copes.

These vestments were made from an ecclesiastical damask in the shade of ivory and lined in a vibrant blue taffeta.
