H-Harness / Crow Loop Questions

K_Shimkus · 06-26-2006, 12:27 AM

1. How long should my harness come? I'm assuming it should be about 3-4 inches wide and come to about knee level, with the 'H' bisecting my chest? Then small strings around the waist to secure. Let me know if that seems inaccurate.

2. Crow loop necklace....does it also use a waist string to keep it slightly secured?

3. I think I remember hearing both could be worn at the same time...is this correct, or common even?

And lastly, what is the width of the belts worn by grass dancers? No one usually collaborates on that. Thanks in advance.

1. Yes - I like 4 inches at the outside edge.

2. It's optional.

3. I've seen people wear both at the same time - I usually wear them
seperately

4. I go 3-4 inches on the belt as well - this one i think depends a lot on your own personal sense of style - or how wide the guy made his belt before he sold it to the pawn shop
