Buying Guide

Match trim width to garment scale

Choose a fringe width—like the 2.5 in bullion-style shown here—that complements the garment's proportions to avoid overwhelming or disappearing on the fabric

Check construction and attachment edge

Look for trims with a stable ribbon or cloth edge for sewing; a reinforced ribbon edge makes machine or hand stitching easier and more durable

Consider fiber and care compatibility

Select bullion and metallic-thread trims that tolerate your garment's laundering and pressing needs; metallic threads may require gentler care

Match color and finish to design

Use contrasting combinations—such as gold bullion with blue ribbon—for visual impact, or pick tone-on-tone trims for subtle texture

Buy by length for project needs

Confirm available yardage options so you have continuous lengths for hems and sleeves; bundling longer lengths reduces joins on garments
