    Brooch and Order Wearing - Questions Archived Message

    Posted by Andy_pingo on June 21, 2013, 4:46 am

    I've always been fascinated by brooches and order wearing and since HM the Queen wears them quite often, is there a special way of wearing them? Won't it damage the material of the dress etc? (with punctured holes, tearing etc.) The same goes for Orders and star badges, won't the constant removal of these cause some damage to the uniform/dress/order sash?

    I'm basing my judgement on wearing badges or pins myself.

    For example - surly this pin will cause some damage to the garment fabric?



    Or to the Order sash as it might have the family order, back pin, or brooch attached to it. Do they simply replace the order if there are too many holes?




    PS. Sorry for all the questions, I'm so curious!
