Square Neck Liturgical Alb with Decorative Lace
The Square Neck Liturgical Alb with Decorative Lace is a full-length white liturgical vestment designed for clergy and other authorized ministers who need a traditional, polished garment for worship and ceremonial settings. Its elegant square neckline, long sleeves, decorative lace detailing, and flowing silhouette create a dignified appearance while maintaining the simple character associated with the alb.
This alb features six pleats across the front and six pleats across the back, creating structured fullness and graceful draping. A rope cincture with tassels is included to gather the garment at the waist. Made from 100% polyester, the alb is designed for durability and easy care, with machine washing or dry cleaning available according to appropriate garment-care practices.
The alb is traditionally associated with Christian liturgical worship. In the Roman Catholic tradition, the General Instruction of the Roman Missal identifies the alb as the sacred garment common to ordained and instituted ministers and normally calls for it to be tied at the waist with a cincture unless its design makes one unnecessary.
