The dalmatic is a type of tunic that is decorated with broad stripes and is typically worn by Catholic deacons, while the alba is a white tunic that is worn by priests during Mass. Other names for the tunicle include the chasuble, which is a liturgical vestment worn by priests during Mass, and the cope, which is a long flowing cloak worn by bishops and cardinals during special ceremonies.
