French style ruffles: flat, not puffy

A restrained French ruffle. The edges of chair skirts, bedspreads, and lampshades have ruffles, but the ruffles are fine, flat, and follow the edge, not the puffy English frills; the ruffles at the corners are symmetrical and of consistent length. It softens the boundary without making it overly sweet. Avoid: using puffy frills and lace, making the ruffle density too high, using ruffles in multiple places in the same room, making the ruffles asymmetrical.

一組收斂的法式褶邊。椅裙、床罩與燈罩的邊緣有褶,但褶是細的、平的、貼著邊走的,不是英式那種蓬起的荷葉;轉角處的褶對稱,長度一致。它讓邊界變柔,但不會變甜膩。避免:使用蓬起的荷葉邊與蕾絲花邊、讓褶的密度過高、在同一個房間多處使用褶邊、把褶做成不對稱。
