She even found another book which I have on order... Another reader gave me the names of two Dover books which were reprints of ribbon work from Victorian times. When they come I will give you a review. Right now I'm on overload and as I get it all sorted I will share with you.
Here are a few sites Marilyn found and you can see they are from Threads magazine. http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/33810/the-box-pleat-experiments-part-2-cross-drape-trim/page/all

One of the sites Marilyn found showed this pleated ribbon trim on the cuff of a Victorian dress and gave directions how to reproduce it and I love the lace under it.

I am drooling over the cuff ribbon and lace treatment ! I'm going to be checking out those links when I get some free time. I look forward to your future book reviews also. Thanks for sharing as you always have.
Oh, if only you had known - you could have bought lots and lots and lots of ribbon when you were shopping (grin). I'm waiting for the interlibrary loan to come in but I'm pretty sure I will be buying the book.
Somewhere I have an old book with some ribbon rucking instructions in it. I'll have to look for it. You've shown some lovely examples and I can't wait to see how you put what you learn to use!
You are so inspiring...on a CQ block I took organza ribbon and pleated it as I tacked the pleats down with a bead - looks great - thanks for the great ideas you share! cannot wait to see where all this ribbon work leads you!! Mary
Such interesting designs by using a few simple folds!
