There's a ceilidh dance that involves the couple using a handkerchief, each holding an opposite corner, rather than holding hands - can't for the life of me remember what it's called - but on the one occasion I danced it, neither my partner nor I had a handkerchief or scarf.

We used my bra instead.

Mind you, I was younger and considerably firmer in those days and didn't have the frozen shoulder that makes bra removal by self a 20 minute process with lots of swearing.
