I was raised and still live in the south. When dancing you put your left hand over your husband's shoulder- the better to show off your rings! If your corsage was on your left shoulder it would be crushed. <br /><br />Your corsage is correctly placed on your right shoulder and your husband's boutonnière is pinned on his left.Kathleen J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02788082481088911430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-54612221156709133162009-10-11T17:21:25.108-04:002009-10-11T17:21:25.108-04:00I would like to agree with Katherina with regard t...I would like to agree with Katherina with regard to glove etiquette. European etiquette dictates that a lady's gloves should be worn at all times (including while shaking hands in a reception line/dancing formally), and should only be removed to eat/drink. They are worn in Church as a mark of respect, along with a mantilla, if desired.kardempseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910817159411863257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-13470247009965999852009-04-15T20:20:00.000-04:002009-04-15T20:20:00.000-04:00I love hats and gloves and still wear them frequen...I love hats and gloves and still wear them frequently. However, I disagree with Miss Janice about glove etiquette. I am European (descended from a Bavarian/Austro-Hungarian noble family)and went to finishing school in Switzerland where we were taught that a lady always keeps her gloves on except to eat and drink. My great-grandmother (born in 1884) was a lady-in-waiting at the Habsburg court in Vienna during the empire's last decade, and I have photographs of her wearing gloves while in church. My mother and grandmother do the same thing.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14981934001472918496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-38448505287802142672009-04-05T09:07:00.000-04:002009-04-05T09:07:00.000-04:00Hats are such a beautiful way to complement an out...Hats are such a beautiful way to complement an outfit!

To be on the safe side I not only keep the updated versions of Emily Post's rules in my library, but I take a refresher course as well. <BR/><BR/>The rule for hats in the past has been to remove them no later than 6:00 pm. <BR/><BR/>*However, within the past 10 years, that rule has changed. It is now appropriate to wear hats in the evening, as long as it is an evening hat and not a daytime hat. For instance, if you are wearing a red evening gown, it is perfectly appropriate to wear a red evening hat, or a hat that is specifically made for the gown. <BR/><BR/>Okay, that's not something I would do, but I do see several dignitary wives doing this...<BR/><BR/>One woman, a very popular hostess in town who entertains everyone from Presidents to royalty is never seen without a hat(she is a Southerner). Even at night, she wears a beautiful hat that is always evening appropriate. The public and press love her and love her hats and she is very often photographed in every paper and magazine imaginable.<BR/><BR/>As far as Mrs. Obama 'touching' the queen? Shame on her administration!! Every First Lady has a social secretary that makes sure something like this doesn't happen, and keeps her abreast of what is appropriate.<BR/><BR/>This particular breech of etiquette, I'm sure, didn't hurt US/British relations, as Queen Elizabeth has been on the throne long enough to see every breech imaginable and has a very wicked sense of humor.<BR/><BR/>However,in some countries in which we don't have good relationships she could really offend/insult someone. <BR/><BR/>It is very hard to remember what to call someone (Ambassadors, Kings, Prime Ministers, etc) which is why I always have my trusty book on the shelf to freshen up. If Mrs. Obama makes another mistake like this, trust me, other countries won't find it as 'charming' as England did.Kathie Truitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112414357583203795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4691615549993586603.post-10791118771385768092009-04-03T11:05:00.000-04:002009-04-03T11:05:00.000-04:00What a darling vignette!
