{"product_id":"rose-dalmatic-silver-cross-stole","title":"Rose Dalmatic with Silver Cross and Deacon's Stole","description":"\u003cp\u003eA rose satin dalmatic banded in silver, with a silver cross at the breast and its matching deacon's stole. For Gaudete and Laetare Sundays, cut by The Clergy Couture in nine sizes from S to 6XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe design\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo silver bands run the length of the front and back, the clavi that have marked the dalmatic since it was Roman dress, each edged with a narrow silver line. A slender silver cross sits at the breast. The stole crosses from the left shoulder to the right hip in the same rose satin, which is the deacon's placement rather than the priest's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCloth and finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA muted, dusty rose rather than a bright pink, which is the distinction that separates a vestment from a costume. Silver banding is applied rather than printed, so it stands slightly proud of the ground cloth. Wide open sleeves finished flat, with side slits from the hem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine sizes, S to 6XL, measured flat across the finished garment: 28 in across the chest and 50 in long at S, 42 in and 60 in at 6XL. Because the figures are flat, double the chest width for the full circumference. A dalmatic hangs over an alb rather than fitting the body, so allow for what you wear underneath and take the larger size if you fall between two.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhen it is worn\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRose is worn on exactly two days of the year: \u003cem\u003eGaudete\u003c\/em\u003e Sunday, the third of Advent, and \u003cem\u003eLaetare\u003c\/em\u003e Sunday, the fourth of Lent. It is optional, and many parishes never own a set, which is precisely why a rose dalmatic marks a well-appointed sacristy. A deacon vested in rose on those two Sundays is a small courtesy that the congregation notices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe dalmatic and its matching deacon's stole.
