In this post, we feature a Festal dalmatic and its maniple. The set was made from a ecclesiastical brocade in ivory. A muted green taffeta was used to line these vestments, and they were ornamented with one of the Studio's unique braids, called ChiRho.
The Saint Bede Studio takes particular care with all aspects of its vestment-making.
In this instance, for example, the maniple has been made to an unusually short length in order to be easier for a deacon to wear it adjacent to the dalmatic sleeve. A long maniple is particularly inconvenient for a deacon, because of his ceremonial actions during Mass. No regulation requires a maniple to be a particular length, which allows practicality to be a determining factor.
