Drawn Work Insertion: It's easy to gain an elaborate effect in a lingerie blouse

with drawn work insertion. The insertion comes one-eighth inch and one-quarter inch wide and looks like wide hand hemstitching.

In sewing it in, French seam either side of the insertion to the waist, taking very narrow French seams. (See fig. 21.)
