Ok- I've been trying to find some time to post this one after all the craziness of the scarfmania the past week. This came in just before we went out of town and just after I gave up finding another shawl I'd been hunting.

I had a mousseline plisse for a while, and while I liked the texture of it, I haven't really been able to make the plisse format work for me, so I let it go. But then I saw this shawl in a crinkle crepe mousseline and thought that if it worked out, then it might be amazing to have a similar texture to plisse, but bigger format and that would be a very cool thing and very nearly as special as La Rosee in its own right.

So I am very pleased that I was right! And without further ado let me present my NTM Toile Hermes in Rouge H (to go with my Bolide, of course!) which I think was designed by Sophie de Seynes.

The crinkle crepe is very light, does not slip around like regular mousseline and is very "fluffy". So if this is what un ironed mousseline does, well, it's not so bad! (This is one mousse I would never even hope to wash because I'd never be able to be sure the fabric would wrinkle back the way it is supposed to be.)

I haven't shown a recent buy, it's Au Coeur de la Vie 90cm in blue .
I'm becoming more at ease with wearing mousselines now I've settled into the 90cm size. Also liking the play of the chiffon against the mohair !

That's truly gorgeous

It's true, the right size and shape format can make such a difference.

Gorgeous bunnycat! How fresh for summer. Reminds me of toile de Jouy. Is there a name on the scarf?

Thank you Sickgrl! Yes! I've seen this also called Toile de Hermes (Toile H for short) and Toile de Jouy, but when I look up Toile de Jouy sometimes that name is attached to pics of actual lace of the design and occasionally of other imagery in cottons. So I'm coming to the conclusion that a Toile de Jouy may be an umbrella term for fabric with sketch imagery like this. Maybe @orchard will show us a pic of the page from 2005 and help us out!

Thank you FlaTiger! There are a few pics of one early in this thread (around page 7-10 or so). It also came in a regular smooth mousseline as a changeant....yessss....reallly.......:loveeyes: And I recently saw a fringed version of it on the bay in hot pink and also turquoise.
