Victoria ordered a new set of personal insignia for each of the six British Orders of Chivalry. As can be seen by her Star and Collar of the Order of the Bath, these were considerably lighter and longer than previous versions, so they could be worn just below the shoulders to complement the necklines of her formal dresses.
