In the Season of Advent : 2

Sarum Blue
On the last Sunday of Advent, the Studio is pleased to present this set of vestments, which was made for a Community of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter in the United States.

The Liturgy of the Ordinariate communities often incorporates vestiges of the English Sarum Use, which employed a different set of liturgical colours from those of the Roman Rite.  

These particular vestments were made for use during the Season of Advent and were fashioned from an English silk damask in a beautiful and subtle shade of blue.  The ornament was formed one of the Studio's unique braids, based on a geometric design of AWN Pugin, in colours of blue and straw-gold upon red.  The vestments were fully lined in a lovely shade of deep red taffeta.

These vestments are in the Studio's Saint Austin form which is pointed at the front and the back in the Gothic Revival style.
