albs

Scope note: Long, full, close-sleeved garments worn by Chrisitan clergy and as secular garments in Greco-Roman and later times, often white in color. Albs are worn by Christian priests and occasionally by consecrated kings, often beneath other vestments. They are white in the Western Church and of varying colors in the Eastern Church. Albs were sometimes decorated with richly embroidered apparels at the wrists and along the bottom. For loose, sleeveless or full-sleeved garments, prefer "dalmatics."
