Festal Vestments in the Borromeon style

Presented in this post is lovely festal chasuble in the style often referred to as Borromeon. Such chasubles extend beyond the knee in length, and beyond the elbows in width.  The Borromeon chasuble is made by the Saint Bede Studio in a variety of fabric qualities, in all the Liturgical colours and is fully-lined.

The ornamentation of these vestments is arranged in the Roman style, being a Tau ornament in the front and a column at the back. This particular set of vestments was made for a customer in the Sydney, Australia.  They were made from a brocade of pure silk in a muted shade of gold.   One of the Studio's unique braids in colours of red, burgundy and old gold was used to ornament the vestments, outlined in the Roman manner with a braid straw-gold in colour.  The lining was of rust-red taffeta.

Also shewn in these images is one of the kinds of fringes used to ornament our stoles and maniples.  These are obtained from a variety of sources and carefully complement the colour scheme of the vestments.
