I think I’m more surprised to see that the vestment is Roman instead of Gothic.
A woman in our parish would like to design a rose vestment. I can’t find just the right fabric for it. I wanted the rose used by St. Bede studios, but they say it is no longer available. Any sources?

Father,
No I am still in Brighton, the photograph is by a mutual friend, who must of course be “anonymous”.
I am trying to get him to set up a webcam, or to take a weekly shot just for fun.
. . . and don’t dare call it pink.
I love “via dei cestari”, I could spend a couple of our going there for window-shopping (everything is sooooo expensive, except a tiny shop opposite De Ritis)
Did anyone else spot the dishcloth on the right-hand-side of the picture? ;-)
very different rose color for vestments than what I’m used to. Isn’t it supposed to be more red?
Fr W, the fabric I used for three sets of Rose-coloured vestments was purchased in one consignment and is no longer available.
After some searching, I was able to find an even more beautiful damask.
I have recently finished a solemn Mass set from this fabric for the Cathedral of Christ the King, Atlanta Georgia.
Sorry to disappoint, however: I do not provide this fabric for the use of others.

Is there another tailor–less over-priced–that WDTPRS readers might recommend?
I rescued a fabulous rose cope once from a parish that was happy to trash it. Not sure what happened to the rest of the set, if it ever existed, but the cope…which apparently dated to the 20s…was/is sublime.
If you’re going to make the vestments yourself, and just looking for fabrics (damask, et.al) , there’s a great place in the “garment district” of New York City called La Lame. In years past I’ve bought chalice palls and a Marian vesica for a chasuble I bought in an Almy clearance sale. They now have a website:www.lalame.com
The La Lame website? Totally rockin music in the bg, no kidding.
I think I’m more surprised to see that the vestment is Roman instead of Gothic.
You surprised to see Roman vestments in a Roman shop?!
That being said, with the amount of cheap, polyester, dross vestments we have to put up with in the last 40 years, Roman vestments are indeed a rarity.
I guess if you wear a polyester shirt with a plastic tab collar, a cheap suit, and a distasteful polyester curtain with a hole in the middle (“Gothic” vestments), buying a complete set of 100% silk, tailor-made vestments in the traditional Roman style for 650 USD, may seem expensive. By the way, did I mention that you get a 20% discount if you live outside of Italy?
