I am looking for Pre-Vatican II sources of guidelines (norms) for vestment making, including their traditional guidelines for lining colors for the **priestly vestments that priests wear at the altar**, as well as what color of orphrey s* are permitted on the vestments, etc. For example, I believe that it was tradition that sliver was the only color that was allowed to adorn black vestments prior to Vatican II? Any sources would be greatly appreciated. *The *OED* defines "orphrey" as "2. *Christian Church*. A usually richly embroidered ornamental border, band, or panel on a liturgical vestment, altar frontal, etc."
