Embellishments are usually soft and frilly, ruffles and lace are seen in abundance. Fabrics are usually soft silks such as chiffon, crêpe, and satin, also lightweight cottons such as voile. Trimmings of both superfine and heavier “antique” style lace are seen in abundance as well as rich trims of taffeta and velvet. Ornaments of beading, spangles, rhinestones, and velvet ribbon, often in contrasting colors, are popular.
