Use made of lace is in the form of vines,
broader at the base and terminating in
narrow tendrilS at the top. These vines
are appliqued on, and the same design IS
used in miniature on the waist and sleeves.
On the latter the design runs upward from
the wrist and finishes over the slight full

embroidery or braiding for wooden street
