Amen Except - are Bugblatters of scottish descent? You have to come to YOunger Hall these days Anselm - they don't even wear white dresses anymore - although the men still wear kilts :>) Eike - wear it any which way you want - I have started to wrap it round my middle - belt style - hides a multitude of sins {choclate, cream puddings, middleage spreads etc). I once saw a lady in America wear a sash hiding her dress neckline to the front, fastened with two brooches - one on each shoulder - with the ends hanging down her back - that looked fantastic. For dem. purposes, we wear the sash folded - one end longer than the other - gathered with a brooch and fastened to a shoulder - the same side shoulder for all and one end carried over to the opposite side on the back - it looks good when dancing when the end of the sash flows freely behind you. I personally do not like the wrap around style, where you start at a shoulder and cross over the front to end up back at the same shoulder - it is all right if you are flat as a board, but the minute you have curves both in expected and unexpected places - you can bet your last dollar that the sash will sit and emphasize just there.
