A feature comprising of contrasting buttons, bows and buckles on the bib area of a dress. The one thing they have in common is that they usually serve no purpose and are attached for adornment only. This feature often takes the form of a false necktie with a multiple of two or more contrasting buttons. Some examples are merely decoration in a contrasting fabric. Within five years the wartime austerity measures would prohibit such decoration as a waste of material and labour. | |
