    I'm with you Jamie, as far as the Romantic look and comfort go, but I would never wear one to a Dance or even to a class - not that I attend either nowadays! In all my dancing years (58) I have never seen anyone wear this style other than in the context of some sort of costume for a particular effect. My belief is that they would be pretty much frowned upon by serious SC dancers.

    On the other hand, I have seen them on the rare occasions I have attended informal Ceilidhs and the dreaded Reeling Clubs, where anything goes.

    Personally, I have four of them, in different colours, but the only time I can recall wearing one of them was for a neighbour's mid-summer early evening drinks 'do' in the open air! As I recall, it was much admired - which was nice - but they ARE just a little too theatrical for me now ............... after all, I am a very shy and modest soul who would never wish to make a show of myself!

    Take care,
    Ham.

    Ham,

    Just like a leather Chieftain's vest.



    For all that believe Ham's post,

    Please send me a PM as I have recently acquired salvage rights to all the metal on the Brooklyn bridge and this represents a great investment opportunity for a lucky few investors that get into this undertaking early!

    Cheers

    Jamie
