How interesting. But, it does take away the effect of wearing a beautiful formal gown.

Ya gotta be kidding me. FEW are able to wear such a sash. BTW, it's made out of a watered-silk of some sort or other. At the bottom are major honors one has, Order of Bath, thistle, whatever. At the top the ladies have cameos of portraits of family memembers set on silk ribbons. These are personally given out by the sovereign.
