Plaid Brooch

[unaspenser]

I'm going to do an experiment and try wearing the pin in different places. I think another reason people wear the brooches on the chest area now is so they can be seen... the brooches have become more decorative than functional. I know when dancing I pin the sash to my shoulder with safety pins and then pin the brooch to the front of my shoulder area... it's small enough that I actually just pin the pin to the sash and pin the sash to my bodice with safety pins. For dancing, though, this doesn't always guarantee that the sash will stay in place, especially since my sash is full-sized (about 1 yard by two) rather than the half-sized many dancers wear, hence all the safety pins. I may try finding a bigger brooch and wearing it higher up. Thanks for all the great old pics!

EDIT: Here's a picture of where I usually wear mine... high on the front of the shoulder:
