Leafy, blossom and other shapes in toilé are arranged to form the outer waved edges between which are baskets of flowers, etc. The toilé forms are partially accentuated with a plaited cordonnet. The details of the pattern are made separately on the pillow, and then joined by a fine réseau, called vrai réseau de Bruxelles. The fillings are wonderfully fine.
