Not only is is rude, but people will talk about your manners and you won't be invited to future formal dinners.

on 11/22/2005 Remember, when you are placing a cloth napkin on your lap, put the crease of the folded napkin away from your body (closest to the table). Do not wipe your mouth with this napkin, gently dab the sides of your mouth. Place the napkin back on your lap, and remember not to flatten the napkin down. Wearing your napkin as a bib is a big no-no. Working from the outside in is the biggest helpful hint.
