That shaping is similar to Faroese Shawls, which generally have shorter backs and longer wings that can be wrapped around the body and tied in back.
Very pretty - thanks for the link/pics!
WOW love the stitching on some of those. Look like wings!!
Love the shawls. I have been on a shawl kick lately. I am finishing one for myself. I need to purchase yarn for my next shawl, for my niece.
