Well, I have never seen Queen Elizabeth II or Queen Silvia or Queen Margrethe II... fasten their sash near the belly or the hip, they fasten it only at shoulder or breast's level - and yet, the sash fits perfectly. Reason for that is the weight of the medal/star suspended at the extremity of the sash enables the sash to hang vertically, always close to the body. --Previous Message-- : : Eh? If the sash is not pinned at the waist : then it will billow on bending forward, or : hang straight from breast to hip when : upright. : : Edit: Actually, the whole things depends, I : think, on where the "bow" (?) and : hip badge are worn - whether to the side or : quite forward, as Letizia seems to favour. : Here way of wearing the sash requires the : waist pinning, I think. : : --Previous Message-- : Well, it depends if we are talking about : Queen : Letizia's or Michelle Bachelet's curves... : : : : More seriously, what I mean is that a brooch : pinned on the shoulder (and possibly another : brooch pinned in the back) is enough to keep : the sash in place and prevent it from : slipping off the shoulder. Then the weight : of the medal suspended at the bottom end of : the sash is enough to keep the sash properly : positioned along the body curves. : : If a lady fastens her sash at the front in : two points (one near the shoulder, one near : the belly), then the sash might wave or : billow inesthetically when the lady's body : moves (bowing, seating, turning...), because : the sash can not adapt to the change in the : body's curves. : : : --Previous Message-- : : : --Previous Message-- : : Arthur - I am thinking that the body shape : of a lady, from the shoulder, goes out then : in then out again? : : : Nellie, I love your description of a lady's : curves : : : : : :
