Hi Bryce: I always enjoy your posts - and everyone's here. Thank you.
Right - obviously it worked to wear the armband with evening wear because the ladies did it frequently. The difficulty must be an optical illusion, like when ladies wore tiaras low on the forehead in the 1920's. Mine would have been resting on my nose by the soup course. Like that blind character in Star Trek Next Gen.
Why does HM wear the order when seeing the pope? Just curious what the connection is there.
