The Queens of many years' experience wear the hip badge on the side, on the hip bone. That draws the sash across the body. --Previous Message-- : 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 : : : : : : : :
