MT, you make me regret letting go of an opportunity to get my first H mousseline perhaps when one came in a design in can't do without great inspirations with all your shawl styles especially the mousse. perhaps when you have a minute you might be able to share how you did the one with the mors ring? lovely look

The most basic way of wearing your shawl/stole.

Twirl around the neck once

Using above method, take the two ends, tie a knot and hide it below. Good for losanges or mousselines, anything too heavy, it doesn't hold that well.

What a fantastic thread, lots of beautiful GMs and great knots!

Thank you everyone for your great contributions.

MaiTai, gorgeous photos, as usual!!!

Diamond S, also terrific photos, but I love your silver sneakers! I am not a sneaker person in any way, but those are awesome!

I will have to add a photo or two...

GORGEOUS additions, MaiTai, yummmmy!

and robee - how can you be so cute?? LOVE the Farandole twice around your waist - great looks, all of them!

I did a search through old threads yesterday (trying to justify and determine the worth of a mousseline GM purchase ) when I came upon these pics of diva (last summer I think) and had to repost her beauty here:

they're a little blurry (I think she said they were taken with her phone), but I think you'll agree her fabulousity shines through nonetheless!

I would love to know how you did these looks, diva - magnificent!
