Examples of 1780s Dress Trimmings
I've been both taking and collecting pictures of 18th century trims. I'll start with photos that I took during my visit to Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, USA, in March 2011.

I was really attracted to that fly fringe when I saw it in W'burg but Janea said its very time consuming. But still I'd love to try it.
It was amazing what they came up with for trimming, wasn't it?

I think they had too much time on their hands. Maybe when my children are older I'll take up knotting!
