Scarves How to Wear a 90cm Carre/Silk Twill Casually?

[Melora24]

Argh! I cannot walk on that kind of challenge

Here are my attempts. The 2:03 starting with a triangle, and hiding the 2nd tail.
The 2:34, with the scarf just thrown on my shoulders. Yes, just like that, without even trying to knot it!!



...... and "This is not a valid image file". grrrrrrrr

Oh, it worked this time

Melora- need more help on that second knot! Did you literally just throw it on your shoulders?And my mailbox is now clear.

Yes! I was holding it by a corner, grabbed it with the other hand trying not to make anything too neat, and put it around my neck.
Easy-peasy

Delightful! MYH, thanks (and thanks to Canty, such an agreeable model). Momasaurus, I'm totally going to do this with my Traite d'arms as well.

I look forward to seeing your traite in this new TOTALLY FUN knot!

I really like this knot with ZP. It highlights the zebra and feathers very nicely.

You're so right,fabulousity! It looks... dare I say it?... fabulous on you!

Thank you for this invigorating thread. Not to take anything from MYH as you do this knot so beautifully, too, but I believe Chestnutty also had the same knot and she used Mr. Teddy as a model - see post #741

I am a great fan of different knots and I had also found this video of Lilith Moonl on You Tube - notice she had a similar cowl knot for mousseline (Classic Glamour knot) but many ideas can also be gained here:

She also has the rose / floral knot in this video although she used it as a headband:

Enjoy!

Yes, at 1:15, it looks like the 140cm version of MYH's and Chestnutty's knots! Love it!
Many thanks to MYH and Chestnutty for making the efforts of showing us how to. And alrgordon for finding these info!

i SIMPLY LOVE IT.

I'M GOING TO HAVE SOME FUM WITH MY ZP NOW THAT FALL IT'S DEFINITELY HERE (SPAIN)

California style (at least were I live): flats, capris. And a 90 on top of it doesn't hurt.

KittyS - I measured mine and it is the short one - 80cm. I am only 5'5". The reason I bought this one is because these farandole necklaces are heavy. And I wanted the lightest one possible. I also kind of did a tricky thing which was to buy a farandole bracelet as well, so when I want a bit more length, I just hook it onto my necklace. Or I can wear the two separately. HTH

That's a great idea with the bracelet! I am shorter than you and the shortest one looks best on me. However I have been hesitant in committing myself since I wonder if I would get more flexibility with the longer one. Now your bracelet idea may make the short one more enticing, since I already have the bracelet. Thanks!

Thank you!

Nice job! The more I see ZP knotted, the more I love it

Thank you! I've been a little ambivalent about the ZP since I bought it, but this knot really works for me.

 

[Fabulousity630]

Looks great fabulousity630

Thank you!

You definitely look like like a "California Girl," Melora!

At the request of cherryblossum, here are some pictures of my Circus scarf, by Annie Faivre, purchased in Paris around 1990. First, two photos of the absolutely marvelous cowl knot that MYH and her dear friend "Canty" taught us yesterday. I am totally in love with this knot, MYH!

Then two very casual, slightly messy ties to show off the corners. The following post will be all the lovely detail of the circus animals and performers. It may not be obvious, but there is a great deal of metallic paint on this scarf. For example, in the faces and tights of the acrobats, in the leopard's spots, on the "circus" banner, and even in the corners of the scarf. It makes the scarf a bit thick to tie, but with the corners tucked away in the cowl knot, the silk suddenly becomes soft and malleable.
