The robe was worn together with the Lorrdian Cowl of Quiescence, which matched the gown's colors, by the Lorrdian male known as the High Priest while he led a Brotherhood of the Beatific Countenance pilgrimage to Jedha City on the sacred moon Jedha shortly before the city's destruction by the Death Star superweapon in 1 BBY. Members of the Brotherhood concealed their individuality as part of their faith, with others wearing orange robes, meaning that the High Priest could be identified by the blue cowl and gown.
The Blue Gown of the Sullen Moon appeared in the Anthology Series film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which was released on December 16, 2016. Prior to the film's release, the gown was revealed as part of a reel of promotional footage for Rogue One shown at Celebration Europe on July 15, 2016.
The gown's name was then provided in the accompanying reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo and released on the same day as the film. The name of the vestment is a reference to the 1989 song "Nightgown of the Sullen Moon" by alternative rock band They Might Be Giants.
