Great scan! I too was almost positive I'd seen a larger image posted on
some list somewhere, though I could easily be thinking of some other chemise
with similar black ribbons.
It looks to me like the black ribbons are laced through loops on the stem
end of each tulip, so surely the tulips will need to be metal-based for this
to work, right? The loops appear to hold their shape rather than pulling
out of shape under the pressure, which screams metal to me.
