I am making triangular trim for the edge of my regency gown and have seen it described as van[naughty word] edging and prairie points. I've also seen people sew the triangles, trim the outside edge, turn through and press to make a triangular edging.
Has anyone here seen any extant edging up close? Are the modern techniques I'm seeing online the same as was done in regency times?

I think it's funny that word is tagged as "naughty." :-) It's D-Y-K-E.

I think it's funny that word is tagged as "naughty." :-) It's D-Y-K-E. I recall that when this forum was first launched, the naughty word filter had issues with "pocketwatch". It had never occurred to me that there was a naughty word imbedded there, but thanks to the the filter, I will now always remember that there is. Somehow I don't believe that was the intended result.... |

Oh my goodness Dawn, I'd seen the blue dress but that white one, wow! All of those edges are sewn by hand! Its amazing in the detail. As I'm making a dress for myself, and working part time, I don't think I can devote myself to that much detail though wouldn't it be lovely to wear a gown with that much work done on it? |
