I made mine using two narrow bucks point edgings with gimp rings as the main feature in both edgings - one just has scallops of the little gimp rings and very narrow ground (used that round the neck, cuffs and edged the bodice with it), the wider of the two has circles of gimp circles along the edge (that went round the top of the flounce). There should have been a third, wider edging with hearts inside the circles of gimp circles, to go round the hem,but I ran out of time and still haven't got round to making that layer (DD - for whom it was made - is twenty-one now, and DS is eighteen; I probably ought to start on the extra edging now ready for the next generation if it ever comes along)
