Lovely ideas! Quite fancy trying the ankle bracelet idea myself (I'm a
bit old for tunics-with-tights, but I do wear slightly longer
tunic-style dresses to work) - might end up having to make them for all
my 20-something colleagues, though, I can see the idea catching on...

At the top, the elastic hugs the inside rim of the boot. You arrange the
bottom to your preference. I am thinking this is an idea for lace!
Purchase machine lace yardage (too perishable for handmade), elastic, and a
length of contrasting color grosgrain (or non-slippery) ribbon to lay beneath
the lace. Do you think this would work?
He also showed the fur ones with a plain coat - as cuffs - to dress it up.
I was thinking this would be nice in lace for a Winter bride who does not
have a white coat to go with her gown.

For a young person on your Christmas list, came the thought of narrow gold
laces with pricking patterns in Gil Dye's new metallic lace book. There
is one on page 33 that uses only 2 pairs of bobbins. You might help start a
new fashion craze by making an ankle bracelet (or two), to be worn by
someone who can carry off the current fashion of wearing tights under a tunic.
The wearer would have to not drag her ankles against the opposite leg
(tights are expensive to replace), but what fun for a special occasion.
