One of the most effective trim mings for a gauzy chiffon dancing srOc kis a deep banding of what at first glance appears to be metallic lace, but on second look reveals the fact that 1t tis an ingenious lattice work of metallic ribbon. The ribbon is in a pastel tine, an old rose, law ender or blue, shot with metallic threads, about an inch in width And that it was truly decorative you may judge from the fact that band about 16 inches wide hemming the skirt was the sole trimming of an old blue chiffon dancing dress.
