Ladies of the Grand Cross wear a decoration of rank in the same manner and of the same size as Knights of the Grand Cross (see Figure 2). The only difference is that the Grand Cross insignia for Ladies has a gold bow in place of the military trophy.
Lady Commanders with Star normally wear their decoration about the neck: with the star pinned to the left side (see Figure 5), however, due to the fad that the star is very heavy and difficult to pin to certain fabrics, it is supplied with a black silk ribbon to which it may be attached and worn about the neck, in which case the neck-cross is not worn at the same time (see Figure 4).
Ladies wear the cross of their rank on a necklet, in the appropriate smaller size, unless they possess the older badge which is then worn pinned to the upper left side of the dress.
For social daytime or evening wear, Ladies of the Order are permitted to detach their proper cross of rank from its ribbon, and wear it hung from a gold chain or in other appropriate fashion. They may also wear their miniatures with evening dress and their emblem stickpins at anytime but not worn together with the full-size emblem of the same rank.
