Liturgical use

The alb is the fundamental vestment worn by all ordained and instituted ministers — priests, deacons, acolytes and lectors — as the baptismal garment symbolising the purity of liturgical service. The front-to-back bellows pleat gives the alb a wide, solemn drape typical of the pre-conciliar tradition, particularly appreciated in celebrations in the extraordinary form and in parishes that cultivate the visual richness of the rites. The open-work lace inserts add artisan refinement.
