I must check mine for those dogs, Cookiefiend. And a beautiful song! Just listened to it on YouTube. Very appropriate for this scarf.

Lovely "going to the ball" scarf story, @xincinsin . I don't think I knew that Carnets de Bal were dance cards, and how they were used. How terribly, terribly elegant. And then, I suppose, a young lady would keep her Carnet de Bal as a souvenir of the delightful evening… especially if her dance card was filled to the brim?I'm going to dance all around the topic of dancing now (pun intended)
When you are invited to the ball, you need to look your best. So out comes the gown, on goes the make-up, and then you add sparkle with a treasured set of jewelry.

Once you are all dolled up, you step into your carriage.

And then you make your grand entrance, all eyes on you as you sweep into the ballroom.

You are approached by dashing young men, and you promise them a dance, noting down their names in your dance cards.
My SOTD Carnets de Bal, with three dance card holders: fan-shaped made from carved bone, a rectangular silver box, and an oval holder with the god Hermes dancing on it.

How does the evening go? I'll leave that to your imagination
The evening ends with our heroine stepping into her grand carriage and being swept off in a cloud of mystery and Hermès perfume, leaving behind a throng of besotted young men.
And then, just as the carriage disappears around a corner…
Jade looks good on you too..i love it.
Thank you kindly tlamdang!
Yes! Technically, it’s my husband’s, but you know...
Thank you!!
That's a lovely pink PdV!
Thank you!
It is a 90.
This is a very exuberant double plisse, I don't think it had ever been worn! I am fighting a terrible rash on my neck (zomg what a pain in my booty this has been and I have zero idea what caused it) and EVERYTHING bothers my neck right now. So - it was a little scratchy last night. I think that with time the pleats might relax a bit and it will be softer - and hopefully this rash will go away!
I was amused last night; as the evening progressed, the bias fold loosened, and the scarf changed it's springy-ness. It was very pretty. When I got home though, I took it off - and - BOING! It went right back into it's very tight folds.
It's fascinating to look at and play around with, it's like a slinky!
Thank you cookie!
Congrats on your lovely blue Cosmos!Ok, now I have my first two (vintage) scarfes
I have to learn about some cooler ways to knot them, I know, I know
Does anybody know from when the lighter one is and perhaps the name?

I love Carnet du Bal- nice to remember it for this week!
Beautiful Karenska!
I really love this in badana moussie! (I never though I would given the pics on H dot com but I do!)
Love this one too! I love his colored pencil drawing style.
Fantastic, xincinsin! A story made of scarves. Youe Kelly en Perles and Etude Pour look happy together.
Thank you, scarfies!
ElainePG,
I'll add a pic of the carnets later. Off-topic: the very wealthy in Singapore actually hold debutante balls for their daughters. I never knew that till I attended uni and one of my friends showed us her photos. She was in a white silk ballgown and there was formal dancing. Wow!

Those pastels are yummy & are set off so nicely by your sweater

How cleverly you tied these beauties to theme. Your B d’O & CdB especially have me swooning (as bygone ladies were known to do)I'm going to dance all around the topic of dancing now (pun intended

That blue looks so ethereally frosty and ideally suited for our chilly season. Just beautiful
This BdG has been singing a siren song to me lately...
I’m so glad to see you wearing it tied as a shrug! I wore a shrug-scarf to an event last spring and hoped it was stylish... you look effortlessly chic!
I have friend who did the same in the US- white ball gown and all. I enjoy a good Regency era read, but until then had no idea those social rituals still existed...Thank you, scarfies!
