The embellishments of this gown were made by pulling small amounts of silk through the small slits (or cuttes) in the fabric. Each one of the poufs is formed by this process were then each one hand sewn into place, so that the poufs would not pop out later. While the process is rather time consuming the results seem worth the effort.
