Trim or trimming in clothing and home decorating is applied ornament, such as gimp, passementerie, ribbon, ruffles, or, as a verb, to apply such ornament. Before the industrial revolution, all trim was made and applied by hand, thus making heavily trimmed furnishings and garments expensive and high-status. Machine-woven trims and sewing machines put these dense trimmings within the reach of even modest dressmakers and home sewers, and an abundance of trimming is a characteristic of mid-Victorian fashion.〔Tozer, Jane and Sarah Levitt, ''Fabric of Society: A Century of People and their Clothes 1770-1870'', Laura Ashley Press, ISBN 0-9508913-0-4〕 As a predictable reaction, high fashion came to emphasize exquisiteness of cut and construction over denseness of trimming, and applied trim became a signifier of mass-produced clothing by the 1930s.〔Hawes, Elizabeth ''Fashion is Spinach'', Random House, 1938〕 The iconic braid and gold button trim of the Chanel suit are a notable survival of trim in high fashion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sewing Standards Reference ) 〕 In home decorating, the 1980s and 1990s saw a fashion for dense, elaborately layered trimmings on upholstered furniture and drapery. Today, most trimmings are commercially manufactured. Scalamandré is known for elaborate trim for home furnishings, and Wrights is a leading manufacturer of trim for home sewing and crafts. Trims are used generally to enhance the beauty of the garments. It attracts buyers. Appropriate use of it creates more value of the product. * Bias tape * Braid * Buttons * Cord * Embroidery by hand or machine * Gimp * Lace edgings or insertions * Passementerie * Piping * Ribbon * Rickrack * Ruffles or frills * Tassels ==See also== * Sewing * * Heirloom sewing * Tailoring 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trim (sewing)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
