Hello -
I'm trying to gather materials to make an 18th century gown. Does
anyone know where I can find fly fringe? It's the type of trim on
this gown, though hard to see:

This is similar, but not as "fluffy" as real fly trim.

These are very effective at a couple of feet away.

Also, I'm working on a semi-replica of this gown:

I found some of this trim at the local Joanns but can't decide if it
is workable for the trim on this gown. The trim on the hem looks
like it is stitched on but the trim on the bodice looks like it is
thread work. Stitch it well down on top of ribbon or what. Ideas?
The description says bobbin lace and chenille embroidery. Your gimp

"feels" too solid and shiny to me - especially if it's the same as
some I have. It is much more Victorian in style to my mind.
Here is chenille trim - irritating, as it wasn't there when I was
looking earlier in the year.
