Thank you all for your kind words. I suspect it was released as a plisse BJS because I googled it to make sure it was authentic and I came up with multiple photos of other colorways in a plisse.

Yesterday I played with it quite a bit. It must be brand new because it was very tight and springy. I decided that I might like it just a bit looser. So I put it in the dryer on warm for a few minutes and then stretched it out with 4 heavy bottles on the corners for a few hours. It loosened it up just enough that I could work with it more easily. I suspect with time the same thing would have happened but I don't know that for sure. The difference is subtle but here are some photos after I did that. The tighter look is neat. I will be in the lookout for a plisse or two in the future to wear in a tight format. I think I like this one even better a bit more loose. I definitely don't need a regular 90 now.

Oh ELeK is one of my favorite patterns and the plisse format just adds something extra to this! How wonderful that you got it in a cw you adore. Now that leaves open a regular 90 slot for another scarf...:roflmfao:
 
I encourage you to add a jersey top your collection. They make the most amazing halter tops for summer!! No kidding, the stretch allows for a better fit and if you have a mors scarf ring, it's a beautiful look. I wear a tube top underneath it (just to be safe) and pair it with linen pants. Sparklelisab has a gorgeous hot pink version listed....;)

How do you do the halter top with the mors ring?
 
BBC - do you happen to have any archival shots of your various Turandots? This would be so interesting for us to see!

Here you go. The first two were special reissues for the Opera Carolina, but these were the original cws:

The first 2 are my favorite! If they were special issues, I guess it will be even more difficult to find!


The special issues may be more difficult to find, but they were both basic on original (regularly offered) cws.

OMG I want them all. I really can't even pick a favorite. Lucky you! Awesome collection! Thank you for this eye candy :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:


Yep, except I don't have any of them. The Aubergine looked terrible on me. I should have kept the salmon one, though.

I love the salmon! Have never seen that before. Is it more peach or pink? I have the purple and have always thought about adding a second cw - either the red or possibly the blue due to all these tempting modeling pics. Just never wanted to pay the ridiculous prices that are being charged lately but that salmon looks so easy to wear.

Those photos do not do the red Turandot justice , it really is the most beautiful H scarf I've ever seen . The red is less harsh IRL and the combination of colours just breathtaking .
There really is a Turandot for every one .If I ever get a third it will be the orange , but it never seems to come along .
 
I wanted to show the red Turandot in case anyone is considering it.
I paid quite a bit over retail , it never comes up at less and I never regretted it . Unlike the blue I can't imagine wearing it casually , the red is a real statement piece .
