All of what I've seen involves crochet. But I do own one printed sheet
from the Wright trim company, showing one how to make an early 1950s dress
entirely out of the stuff. You might ask them if they have a copy in their
archives (because I can't find mine).
Could someone explain what "ric-rac" is? It doesn't seem to be what I
understand. I have several cards of ric-rac braid I got in a sale,
and would use it to sew on to a garment for decoration. It was a very
popular trim in the mid 50's if I remember right - that's the 1950's!
But ric-rac involving crochet is a total mystery to me. Yet another
example of two countries separated by the same language?
