Good post, MYH!Silky friends - it's time for us to talk about the maxi twilly and do an assessment of them.The new season designs and colors are out and I am on the fence about buying more. I'm hoping everyone with maxi twillies can chime in and add their two cents about them. Perhaps there are some pros or cons I have not thought of?
Here's my take. I have a black and dark maroon calvacadour:
Pros:
- I think they are useful for warmer days
- They add a punch of color to an outfit
- The silk (for me) has held up quite well and I think the quality is pretty good. Although I would like to hear from others that have worn theirs more often than I have. I don't mind that it doesn't have a rolled hem
- Reasonable price
Cons:
- I don't reach for them as much as other scarves. I find the width a bit hard to tame. It always ends up looking very floppy or sloppy unless I spend a lot of time securing all the silk.
- I don't think they provide much warmth for cold winters
- I can't figure out if it works better with a casual outfit or dressy outfit.
- My waist is not thin enough to make it look good as an obi belt like a lot of the women here. So I lose out on that one very awesome way to tie it.
What about you guys? Please share with the rest of us if yours has lived up to your expectation. I'd love to hear how others have felt about theirs.
I've turned around these MT since they were issued, and if I admit they're beautiful items, I could not make the plunge. I'm not crazy about the shape. Generally speaking, I"m not that much in rectangular, even if I do have some stoles. The shape definitely doesn't work for me. Too floppy, too long, I don't do obi belts, I really cannot imagine how to rock these, and this is why I passed, and will go on. Even if I find them really pretty...thank you for sharing this, kozee !The new ones are on US H.Com
Kachinas already sold out.
Wowwwww, lvj! Pretty good job! I see beauties here, even if I'll not buy them, I cannot deal with this shape, alas...
IF, this is brilliant, as it ever is with you
!
Thanks for posting these! I'm pleasantly surprised by how pretty some of the BdG cws are.
Thanks for sharing all these, I can't wait to try them on when they arrive in the stores
There was an Astrologie this morning, but it's gone now!A few last chance MTs are on H.com right now: 3 cws of Cavalcadour and Brazil each, in case someone is a 'better remorse than regret' shopper like me
The Kachinas turned up on US H.Com this morning but when I clicked to purchase the pink one, it was already not available.
bem3231 - I would think steaming is better than ironing? a more natural looking result? Not sure, I have not done either.

Ladies - do you iron your Maxi-twillies? Or steam them? I wore one of mine as an obi belt and now it's quite wrinkled. Thanks
i have ironed my H silks for years and never had an issue - i use lowest heat and just lightly go back and forth and wrinkles are gone!!
I steam all my scarves and they turn out fantastic. I think ironing is fine too on a low heat setting but don't press down too hard on the silk. I don't have any good reason for not pressing down hard but psychologically, I feel like the poor little silk fibers are being sqooshed.Ladies - do you iron your Maxi-twillies? Or steam them?
