Traditional Bishop Chimere
Typically worn with a rochet underneath, this version features a flowing cut and is often made in black or scarlet depending on church tradition.
Choir Dress Chimere
Used during non-Eucharistic services, paired with preaching scarf or tippet.
Ceremonial Chimere Vestment
Designed for formal occasions with enhanced tailoring and structured drape.
How the Chimere Is Worn
The chimere forms part of a layered clergy outfit:
- Cassock (base garment)
- Rochet (white vestment)
- Chimere (outer robe)
- Preaching scarf or tippet
This layering distinguishes the chimere from Eucharistic vestments such as chasubles or dalmatics.
